At my suggestion, my wife bought me a set of Fender 57/62 pickups for Christmas. The wiring diagram included with the pickups shows a 0.1 uf tone capacitor. My guitar currently has a 0.022 mfd orange drop tone cap installed. Should I just keep the current tone cap or replace it with the suggested 0.1 uf capacitor? Would there be much tone difference between the two different strength capacitors? My music tastes tend towards blues and surf music, if that helps in answering the question. I'm also considering installing a SPDT switch so that I can change from one cap to the other.

0.1 will sound much darker than 0.022 as it is rolled down.

Thanks, I'll stay with the .022 Orange Drop.
