Did anyone notice that they're using a .1MFD cap, (same as .1 uf), for the tone control on the prewired pickguard? That seems extreme. I'm surprised that the tone control wouldn't act more like a volume control. 0.1 uf is enough to send ALL the signal through.

Somewhere in the 70s maybe is where the .05uF came in?

Since around the year 2000 drawings I'm seeing .022uF used (presumably due to noiseless/humbucking usage?)

as someone that uses their tone control a lot, i prefer a smaller cap for sure but since on these old strats the bridge doesnt have a tone control, you get full on treble from that position. i prefer to put the tone on the bridge pup and have a lower value like .02 to roll off some highs when using dirt

So, I'm not a vintage Strat guy. Just how many 54/55/56/57-esque vintage sets are there out there besides this?Originally posted by Bad City
