I think he meant the standard Fender capacitor value .047 μF/uF/MF(microfarad) rather than the indicated .047 mF (millifarad) value.

I was thinking about microfarad, I still have a bit of confussion in my ideas about the electronic side, I though it was a too high value, thanks for the explanation. So .047 microfarad can be used too with single coils and 250k Pots.

In some electronic schematics .047uf can also be expressed as 47nF too.


So:

.022uF = 22nF

.047uF = 47nF

.1uF = 100nF


You can pretty much use any value from maybe say .010uF (10nF) to .1uF (100nF) for a tone cap with single-coils and a 250k tone pot, the larger values will just take off more highs and the tone will become more bassy.
