K40Y-9 are high quality Paper In Oil capacitors - the conductor is made of aluminum foil 

and the dielectric is oil saturated paper, glass sealed in a metal body. These make great 

tone capacitors for guitars.

The NOS .047uf has an nice woody tone - excellent choice for Telecasters.

1953 Blackguard “Dark Circuit” Wiring gives you the following modes:

Position #1 (switch lever on the right): Bridge pickup alone with tone control engaged.

Position #2 (switch lever in the middle): Neck pickup alone with tone control engaged.
