    Many electronic experts will tell you that there is no scientific explanation of why paper in oil capacitors will give you better Tone when used in a guitar circuit. But it is a well known fact in the guitar community that paper in oil will be warmer, smoother and have more "Sparkle" than ceramic disc, mylar or polypropylene capacitors. The original Bumble Bees, Cornell Dubillier, and Black Beauties were paper in oil and thought of by many to be the "Holy Grail" of Tone as far as capacitors go.
    Paper in oil (or PIO) caps are just one variety of capacitor. Others are made out of mylar, ceramic, etc. PIO caps were used in the Les Pauls of the 50's and many appreciate their tonal qualities over more modern capacitors.
