what are you guys using for caps in your strat?

I've got a strat wired up Gator-ish. I put a 0.1 mfd 6P1 cap in it. I have a dual ganged tone pot (only 1 tone control on the guitar). 500K going to the neck, and 250 for the bridge and middle. Sounds great to my ear.

Joe is happy to bounce ideas around and is very communicative. Highly recommended.

this looks cool - thanks!

i'm trying to tame some high harshness coming from gold lace sensors - When i back the tone off a bit it fixes it but ideally i'd like to get rid of all harshness the whole sweep

I am now using two master tone controls on my main Strats. Both are "no load" pots so I can switch either or both completely off. Tone caps are .1 and .047 so I can use either or both or neither for 0, .047, .1, and .147 options. If I remember correctly JG mostly used .1's.

For caps, I generally like the axial Mallory 150 polyester metal film caps that run about $1 or less, but I will also use the orange drop polypropylene caps if I have some laying around.
