This is a bit of a continuation of teleharmonium's post on capacitors. I've read here and there about people clipping them off the old 50s and 60s Guilds to increase the output, but I'm curious to get a little more info on what results others have had.

I guess it would depend on what music styles one is into and what type of sound one wants. I imagine that a player into rockabilly, rock, or old timey country would be into higher output screaming pickups. I also assume it would also depend on whether you have the Franz PUs, humbuckers, mickey mouses, or Dearmonds.

Anybody else out there have any opinions or past experience with this? :?:
