What are all you Les Paul players using for the tone capacitors in your guitars?

My Burny LP Custom has some cheap mylar caps in there, and i'm thinking of trying something else to see if there's any improvement tonewise!

Cheers! :rock:

I took out my tone pots :rock: Before that, it was Orange Drop .047.
 
Is it too bright or too dark? 22's or 47's. Bumble Bee's or Orange drops.

warm and woody: mojotone vitamin T
 
Like a mug, I bought a pack of Luxe Bumble Bees. That being said, they do make a difference and I use the tone control a lot more than I used now.
For another Les Paul, I just bought some NOS Russian K40Y-9 0.022uF ones from some Russian eBay seller. These are paper in oil as well, and I read somewhere online that the Luxe caps are simply Russian K40Y-9s with bumblebee outer casings.
Either way, the K40Y-9s sound great as well, and they were pretty cheap, especially compared to the Luxe.
 
all parts vitamin q .022 or .047 depends on the pickup / pot config to...
