I'm not an expert on these things and I may be wrong but I think I remember someone telling me that it maintains tone quality when the volume on the guitar is reduced.

Hi Dave
Here you go, much better answer than I could give.
http://www.fender.com/community/forums/ ... 10&t=23438 I had the cap changed, on my first 62 re issue, a few years ago and could hear the difference.
Regards Geoff.

hi geoff, i fitted a slider pick up and cap to my custom strat about a year ago , love the sound, the cap does make a difference. i have tried a few different pick ups in the bridge and these a very authentic and i have tried a few different caps but i have settled on this combination. IAN.

I was reminded in recent years that apparently early Strats were fitted with a .1uf cap (as opposed to the more common .047uf), so I fitted one of the paper in oil type (Vitamin Q). Although I never roll off my tone controls, everything in the chain is supposed to have an effect to some degree or another.....I wonder what value cap Sliders provide?

I just realised that the cap they supply could be a low value one to put on the volume control.
