Hi all, a while back I bought a USA s-500 (1997 model I believe). The guy I bought it from had converted the wiring to typical strat style. When I opened it up, it was quite a mess. I have ordered all new pots and switches, but G&L does not sell tone caps.
As far as I can tel I need one each of the following:
.001uf .022uf (I can find these two on line) and now the toughies... 200p and .0022uf.
I am new to this, so I assume uf is microfarads and p would be picofarads.
Any idea as to where I can find the 200p and the .0022uf? None of the guitar part sites that I have looked at carry them. Any help would be appreciated. I really don't want to have to put it back together wired up like a strat, as I would be missing the expanded range, and I have already ordered the 250k, 500k and 1meg pots which will likely not work well in the strat setup.

There was this thread here: Let's discuss capacitors and G&Ls. Maybe Darth will weigh in.burndog wrote:Hi all, a while back I bought a USA s-500 (1997 model I believe).

Perhaps it will help.
