Best tone cap for QP tele lead pickup

[Mikelamury]

I'm putting together a wiring harness for a pickup set consisting of a QP tele lead and an antiquity ii tele rhythm I'm using 250k pots and a .015 150v treble bleed. I want your guys opinions on which tone cap to use .022 or .047? Thanks.

I like darker sounds, so I'd use .047. Many Teles already have this, so just leave it. If you find the tone control too dark, just swap it. It is absolutely worth experimenting with, however.

QP is not your average tele bridge. a lot fatter than normal.
i used the QP without a tone (not too shrill), so if you do, i suggest to use the smaller value.
for the neck a smaller value also doesn’t hurt

I should add the neck recommends a .05mfd and it's a little hotter than a stock QP tele lead it's a custom shop make @ 18.9k so it's a lil higher output. The tele came with a .05mfd on it as well. I don't want it to sound too dark since it is extra hot. Sorry should have disclosed this before. Thanks I just want to be sure before I send it off to be worked on

The QP is a darker sounding pickup, but I believe it was designed to drop right in a Tele with no other mods. You are certainly free to change this, however. Wiring in a different cap or disconnecting the tone control itself is a very easy process.
