Orange Drop Capacitors
Orange Drop Sprague Capacitors
It may surprise you to learn that Gibson selected Orange Drops and other premium capacitors for the 2014 model year of guitars for a very valid reason. Orange Drop capacitors are used in a few Gibson guitars from the 2014 model year. Go online and you'll find people saying things like "designer" capacitors are merely hype and that whatever you use as long as the value fulfils the specification, or that Orange Drop capacitors are the secret to vintage tone.
Orange Drop capacitors provide Gibson guitars the stability and accuracy—and consequently, consistent tone—that experts demand. Although Orange Drop capacitors have a well-earned reputation for quality that has been demonstrated for almost 50 years, any precision capacitors would be appropriate. That kind of track record meant that Orange Drop capacitors aligned with Gibson's goal of creating the best guitars and basses the company has ever made.
