xDamerx Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Hello,I have recently bought a Les Paul Studio Body and Neck. I have bought everything for it(ex. humbuckers machine heads etc...). I am pretty much ready to bring it in to the shop to get the humbuckers wired up and all the other little things I would have no idea doing... I am not the most guitar parts wise! What I am asking is I have been looking into getting some capacitors, but I am not 100% sure with which ones to go for, as every forum I've read says something different about every cap, so I have no clue. I am wondering if you can tell me what the best cap would be for the tone I am going for I guess. I am not too sure what the "vintage" sound is, and really don't know what "brighter" and "darker" sounds mean.(See, I'm not that wise!)My Les Paul I am hooking up with the Burstbucker Pro Humbuckers on the neck and bridge, along with 250k pots(I'm pretty sure they are 250k!). I play heavier music, mostly hardcore and metalcore(if that still exists..) playing in drop a#(i know i know, but it sounds so heavy!) I still want a nice clean sound when not distorted and dont want a muddy sound when clean and distorted. I've read about the bumblebees and the vitamin q's and whatnot, but I just can't seem to find anyone that has said what sort of cap is better for which genre.. Thanks for your time!Damian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
