I think it says .047. But I wouldn't use that value for humbuckers.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Whatever floats your boat. Capacitors are like 5 cents each and 5 seconds soldering time. Every guitarist should play around with a bunch of different values to see what they like. For me though, anything higher that .033 tends to be a little too dark when I roll back the tone knob with humbuckers. Usually .022 is a good place to start.

Starting point is 0.047 for single coils (4+7=11 or two ones) and 0.022 for huumbuckers (two twos).
Generally speaking a lower value cap will sound brighter / more treble-ey and a larger value darker / more bass-ey.
One last point. Those cheap $5 for 20 (or more) mylar film caps work just as well as $10 for one orange drops, or indeed $50 for one paper in oil ones. They're easier to fit inside a control cavity and won't leak either.
