guitar tone ?

[fretboard12]

hello, my guitar only has a 1vol 1tone i looked at the original wire diagram
and it had a .022 mfd capacitor it is missing now, what would this do for the tone pot?

would there be something better to replace it with a different type or value or should i just get what was originally there?

also the vol pot does not decrease in vol smoothly (a little at a time) it decreases quickly.any suggestions?

thx for your reply's fret

Guitar Tone Control

Tone control on a guitar is basically a misnomer.
The simplest form is actually a Treble Cut.
The capacitor (.022) that is missing is part of the circuit along with the potentiometer.
