That is a good rule of thumb but not always the best,

I have found that low value caps work great in single coil guitars, BCR Greg runs .010's in his P-90 guitars. A lot of it comes down to player preference.


Fender install .022's in all their Strats now from what I have seen, I have an .033 (actually reads .029) in my Tele and it sounds great.
