The power of suggestion is very strong. A certain guitar company knew this when they encased a standard polypropylene cap in a black body and put some bumblebee stripes on it, then proceeded to sell it for $$$$$! It must sound better, it was only 200x more expensive!

I also remember people complaining because the originals were rated 600v and the reproductions were merely 400v. Surely 600 gives you more headroom that 400, right? Considering that the tone circuit in a guitar is dealing with a fraction of a volt, it seems a bit like overkill, doesn't it?
