The Art Of Tone

This is a high quality PIO capacitor the conductor is made of aluminum foil and the dielectric is oil saturated paper, glass sealed in a metal body. These capacitors provide excellent sonic characteristics and make great tone capacitors for guitars. Similar in construction to the Sprague Vitamin Q's, they are hermetically sealed in a metal case with glass ends.
.047 is a good value for Strats and Tele's or the bridge position in Les Paul's, Epiphones or other guitars using Humbucker style pickups. Paper in Oil will give a slightly "smoother" tone than ceramic disc or poly caps. These are easy to install, two solder points. A quick, easy, and inexpensive upgrade to your tone.
