Anyone know what the stock (brand name)capacitors would be on a R8? I understand that the bumblebee type were stock on the historics ,and I could be wrong. Any ideas and help from anyone.

The year as verified by Gibson is a 2006Much older R8s came with ceramic discs. You never mentioned what year.
The guitar has currently Jensen (gold ) capacitors they sound good would I hear a major difference with the bumblebees??
Thanks for the info. Really love the guitar, it’s light weight and beefy neck, and I’m a Strat guy so this is the first LP I ever really bonded with. I have a LP Custom and can’t stand it and only keep it for sentimental reasons.I doubt it. Gibson's "Bumblebee" caps are actually a cheap ceramic disc cap in a Sprague shaped case and painted. Nothing like the originals.
