I can't decide what pickups to put in this guitar...

I'll quote Mike Sulzer here:



So on 10 the cap isn't doing anything, but the resistance of the pot is.

I haven't worked on any recent Strat's wiring, but I put .022µF in my guitars and usually .047µF in my passive basses, but one of them has a .022µF, which sounds really cool when you turn it all the way down. I picked these values based on what sounded good to me and the way I play. I know guitarist that remove their tone controls, but I find you can get really cool tones with them, and I like using different tones.

I'll buy that explanation.
