Crappy Stock Radial Capacitors

[maschoff]

So I am preparing to change out the pickups and do a wiring mod on my stock Les Paul Custom and during my recon, I noticed Gibson uses radial capacitors; you know the ones, flat and disc shaped, and dirt cheap. I removed and replaced these with some film capacitors of the same capacitance I had lying around and I was reminded of how bad radial capacitors sound.

Replace these immediately, you won't regret it.

you mean the ceramic disks? I get 100 question about caps every day (not kidding). Those are junk. My basic response is "Not the ceramic type"

At least they're not fake bumble bees.
