美國Luxe大黃蜂電容 Luxe Bumblebee Capacitors 1956-1960 Matched Pair of Oil-Filled .022mF
此為環保無盒裝版本,兩顆一組。由美國Luxe復刻的1956-1960 Matched Oil-Filled .022mF Bumblebee Capacitors大黃蜂電容,規格以Vintage Specs製作,忠於真正50年代真正的Bumblebee大黃蜂電容,相同的手工油質電容,以老式規格的鋁箔與紙膜手工纏繞,並在絕緣引線上塗有光油,整體音色更加溫暖。以往Gibson Historic Reissue系列中,原廠使用的是陶瓷假黃蜂電容,2020年後的Historic Reissue系列也將原廠電容全面升級成為Luxe。
The Bumblebee capacitors are for sure the most discussed caps with an almost magical touch on them! They are usually from the late 50's and can be found in a lot of guitars from that era but they are famous for the appearance in the 58 and 59 'Burst' Les Pauls and some say that they are responsible for the magic tone of that guitars.
The colored stripes were the old fashioned way of marking tiny electrical components with their values. Bumblebees are identical in construction to the Black Beauty. A shiny black plastic tube with little circles. In the circles will be a number 2. A circle and a 2 means Sprague! From 1956 until 1960 Gibson used Red/Red/Orange/Grey/Yellow striped Bumblebees (.022mF 400vdc). These are 1.25" long by about 3/8." The capacitor tubes are insulated with a spaghetti tubing. Sometimes this was a varnished black cloth insulation, but primarily an amber colored rubber coated cloth (1952-1961) or a yellow-rubber coated cloth (1959-1970).
