Normally Sprague did not make a vitamin T, those must be the Mojo tone caps that were made for them and have their label on outside. Is there a part number on the case?

Hey Chuck,
Sounds like you're going to have a killer guitar when you're done with all those upgrades! I love Epi's too. I'm a big fan of having nice player's grade guitars. I don't like case queens. I tell ya, the first time you get a scratch or ding on a $2500+ Gibson it makes you sick! Not worth it! Now, I have a 1991 Korean Epi LP Standard, a Tele partscaster and a cheapo Danelectro. I upgraded the pots/caps/nut/pickups on the LP like you're doing and it's a great player now. I put in 4 push/pull pots for coil tapping/phase switching. Of course the construction/woods aren't on par with a Gibson, but it sounds fantastic!
I just bought an Orville and another Epi (MIJ this time) which are going to be very close in quality to a Gibson, but at an Epi price! The only downside is I hate to give up my old Epi!
Always nice to meet a fellow Epi enthusiast!
