Re: Must be a good capacitor
Best thing is that they are, if i recall correctly, just regular old caps like these:
Just covered in black epoxy/plastic with stripes on it.
Oooh, here, i found the thing i thought i recalled:
http://classicamplification.net/Guitar/ ... lebees.htmThat there is like a fifty cent capacitor, dudes.
I have to give Gibson credit for it though, the TGP folks have been begging for such a thing for years. The real vintage bumblebees go for completely insane prices, even used. Dumbass guitar collectors really screwed up that market. I am sure that there are tons of folks who will be more than happy to pay $130 for these things so their guitars "look right" inside. If anything, i am a little surprised that someone else didn't do the same exact thing and offer it for sale before Gibson did. Surely someone will, and offer it as an "even more vintage correct" part(for more money, obviously).
IIRC, it is basically all the proper vintage ones were anyhow.
