For those of you who have a strat with fat 50's in them, can you tell me what kind of capacitor you have inside there?
Thanks :)

The usual and customaries are 250's I believe, and 500's are recommended for more 'air'.

Should be .022µF but let's wait for Chanman's reply as I'm not at home.

Usually it's a .022.

I was going to try some of the fat 50 pickups in one of the guitars I have. I was going to try to go "vintage" on it though. Do all cloth wiring and a brown chicklet .1mfd/150vdc cap on it. I don't know how the .1 sounds though, but figured I'd give it a try.
