Contact Jonesy here on the forum. He is the cap guru and a top bloke to boot.

The guy at RS that will put your kit together is a member here--hillbilly--he can answer your questions.

I've used RS Guitarcaps, The Luxe Bumblebee repros, the Jensen PIO caps, and Jonesy's caps as well. They are all good.

You definitely cannot go wrong with the RS Superpots for volume/CTS pots for tone.
