Pickup available at Northwest Guitars
Usually ready in 1 hour
Paper-in-Oil (PIO) capacitors deliver warm, vintage-era tones, ideal for single-coil-equipped guitars. Popularised in the 1950s, they were used in iconic models like Gibsons with Black Beauty and Bumblebee caps. Made with paper and oil sealed in thermoplastic, PIO caps provide smooth treble roll-off and enhanced clarity.
The .022µF value is perfect for single-coils, retaining brightness while taming high frequencies for a crisp, articulate tone. Ideal for vintage restorations or retro-inspired builds, PIO capacitors offer tonal precision and character for players seeking classic sound.

Customer Reviews
This item was perfect for rewiring as 50’s style without the expense of a bumblebee capacitor, just added a 500k and 250k audio taper pots and some 50’s style braided cable. Sounds great with the Wilkinson M series P90 that was already fitted to the Antiquity Pelham Blue DC Junior
