Faithfully reproduced by Luxe Radio in the U.S.A. using original-spec materials and methods, these RetroSpec NOS Luxe Bumblebee capacitors bring the tone and feel of the golden era back into your guitar. Each capacitor is built with vintage-correct construction that matches the original 1950s Gibson bumblebee caps.
Each capacitor is hand-wound on a vintage winding machine, made with vintage-spec aluminum foil and paper film, and hand-soldered and hand-cast in oven-proof thermoplastic. They’re hot vacuum impregnated with pure castor oil for superior tone transfer and finished with amber spaghetti tubing on each lead for that authentic vintage look.
This set includes two capacitors — perfect for a traditional Les Paul, SG and ES wiring harness.
This is more than just a capacitor set — it’s the tone-correct upgrade that brings your Les Paul closer to true vintage spec.
