voltage doesn't matter in a guitar, except for overall size of the cap - a higher voltage usually means a physically larger cap. Rarely matters in a Les Paul as there is lots of room in the cavity, other guitars may not have room.

The tone many of us chase come mainly (IMO) from Paper in Oil caps (PIO).
