Tarquinius Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I recently bought this mustrang/jag stang type guitar with two single coil pick ups and two sliding switches. I got a wiring diagram off of seymour duncan and it seems to go pretty well with my guitar as of now, but i have one question. If you click the link below it will bring you to the diagram and help you understand better. Wiring Diagram On one of the audio pots/shafts at the bottom you see what i guess is a capacitor (if it isnt, please inform me otherwise) and it says " .05 mfd" I checked all these onling guitar part stores and i dont see a .05 capacitor. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ansil Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 there isnt enough tonal shift in that to do any real damage sonicly. most people can't hear thference anyway.. the formula to find the freq range is. f=1/(2Pi*R*C) or you can go to muzique.com and use their filter http://www.muzique.com/schem/filter.htm it comes out to less than 1% difference.

Southpa Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) Yeah, pop in a .047 you won't know the difference. Whats the deal? No cap in the guitar at all when you got it? They are exrtremely cheap and you might want to experiment with other capacitor values. The .022 is what Fender usually uses with their single coil equipped guitars. But the .047 (.05) w/ single coils might be the trademark sound for the 'stang, I don't know. And don't worry about using different values, experiment for yourself and see (or hear) what you prefer. You won't blow up your guitar or otherwise damage anything. If you have more questions, there is TONS of info in this forum. Just click the search button and type in "capacitors".
