2x NOS Sprague Black Beauty .047 uf 600v Capacitor Vintage Guitar Tone Cap

Description

Same as the capacitors used in vintage Fender guitars and bass of 1960's.  May be used for your vintage fender guitar or a vintage guitar project.
Readings at about .52uf
As a reference guide:
When the tone pot is full up, the resistance of the POT has a bigger effect on your tone than the value of the cap. The value of the cap only matters as you roll the pot down:
0.1 microfarad (µf) is vintage spec. It will roll off ALL your highs and a lot of your mids leaving only bass.
0.047 -.05 µf is modern spec. It will roll off ALL your highs and a lot of your upper mids leaving only lower mids and bass.
0.022 µf is a common mod (and standard for humbuckers). It will roll off your highs leaving your mids and bass.
0.010 µf is good if you're going for Clapton "woman-tone". It only takes off the upper highs.
As with most vintage capacitors, these will exhibit current leakage at their rated voltage.  These particular caps starts to leak at about 25v as tested on a IT-28 and should not be used in any high voltage circuits. In an electric guitar however, the voltage is less than 500 milli-volts (.005 volts) so these behave and function just fine in that type of very low voltage application.
Sold as shown in pictures.
