Recently dingobass and I were discussing tone capacitor material.

I had the pleasure of seeing a photo of the electrics of David Gilmour's Black Strat, a tone monster played by a tone meister if ever there was one.

He bought it in May 1970. If he was going to change the .050uF ceramic tone cap to improve his tone, I guess he would have done it by now. And they are still attached to the pots with the date stamps on them. There goes all our theories, huh...

However, the guitar is also incredibly well grounded, necessary for all the lightshows and lasers.
