The EXACT value Gibson uses!

I was gonna buy normal Mallory 150 0.022uF capacitors for 20 cents each, but these are somehow special in that the seller says Gibson used the same value...? Who cares if they're a totally different make of capacitor, everyone knows the scarce 0.022uF value yeilds magical tonal properties, and only the ones this seller has will make me sound like Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton - screw it, I'm buying them at $5 each. I need "style Caps that were used in Gibsons Golden Guitar Years".

Try some Holvand Music Caps, they make them in .022uf and they are made for Guitars! I get them from RS Guitarworks in the USA. They sound great too.

lol I don't really care about changing the caps in my tone controls, I was just being sarcastic to illustrate how the seller is talking up a 20 cents cap so much that he thinks it's worth selling it at $5.

The real hah moment is to see what those caps actually sell for.

I saw those ridiculous auctions too. What do they normally cost - like 75 cents?
