Vitamin Q

I retract my previous comment that electronics would probably add very little to the sound of a vintage tele..actually I am still covered, because I said some time ago that they might add to the 'tone'. On EBay right now, you can buy reproduction wax capacitors for either an early fifties Tele or a late fifties/ early sixties tele. The old capacitors looked yellow, and like some overgrown Good and Plenty candy. They look sort of cool. The old ones were made with foil and paper originally, but the NOS (new old stock) Vitamin Q capacitors are made differently. The NOS ones are made with paper and oil. These type of capacitors were originally used for military and aerospace use in the fifties. The dielectric and foil in the new ones is also sealed in a metal and glass tube, and do not drift in value, or degrade with time (like a twinkie if you left it for 3000 years). These things are known for lending a more 'musical' quality to your guitar. These little things also include original ingredients... like pitch and beeswax. The '56 -'58 Esquires take 3 little yellow capacitors (ZSW1S5 .05/150v), and also one 3.3k Carbon Comp resistor. The '58-'62 Telecasters take a ZNW1P1 and a ZYW1S5. Go check this guy out... he is at http://stores.ebay.com/Luxe-Guitars. ... and I don't get a cut of his sales....no.....
