The Joe Bonamassa Signature Bonnie Pickup Set

I believe Eric Johnson prefers a .1uF cap as well.

his old strat was his baby for years so, again, it comes from the fact thats the way fender did it back in the day

The Eric Johnson Strat does have a .1uf cap. Sounds really good to me. I took the American Standard Strat I had and put Fender SCN pickups in it. It sounded great, 500K volume and 250K tones, with the tones on neck and bridge only. Originally it had a .022uf cap but I got curious and tossed a big .1uf cap in there and that made it sound amazing. I liked how the 500K volume worked with the pickups better than 250K and didn't want to change that so figured a bigger tone cap would take care of the extra top end and it sure did but made it sweeter. If I ever get another SSS Strat, it'll be wired the same way.
