Fender American Pure Vintage Wax Paper Capacitor .05uf @ 150V

A small Tele upgrade with a more vintage-leaning voice

The Fender American Pure Vintage Wax Paper Capacitor .05uf @ 150V is the kind of part that appeals to players who care about the details in a Telecaster’s wiring as much as the visible hardware. Designed as a replica of an original-style capacitor, it is aimed at restorations, vintage-inspired builds, or simple electronics swaps where the goal is to keep the guitar feeling closer to traditional Fender spec rather than just dropping in any modern replacement.

The wax paper construction is part of that appeal, bringing the kind of warmer vintage-leaning tone shaping players often want from an older-style Tele tone circuit. Because it fits most vintage and modern Telecaster guitars, it can work across a wide range of projects, whether you are rebuilding a classic-style instrument or just refining the electronics in a guitar you already use.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this capacitor suits Tele players who want a genuine Fender electronics part and a more traditional feel to the way their tone control responds.
