in their guitars (Stratocasters/Telecasters and others)
during the years, from my research.
100-150VDC Paper/Poly Capacitor. P/N ZNW1P1 "Soapbar" Used from 1954 to about 1960/61 in Stratocasters and 50-60's Telecasters (some are older style and darker brown than shown here). There are some high-end audio places that do make reissues of these capacitors avalible for sale.
50VDC Ceramic Disc Capacitor. These were
used in Stratocasters from 1960 to abot 1966 and had a great darker tone sound. The yellow insulation was also usually installed on it to prevent grounding to the pot. Places on Ebay have "NOS" Sprauges for sale but orangedrops (also by formerly Sprauge now SBE) are a modern favorite for these. 10% Tolerance.
