Thanks!!
From the pictures I’ve seen, RS Guitarworks has their logo on the capacitors. At least it appears that way on their website.
This setup kinda looks like a Throbak wiring harness…
At least until around 2010, they didn’t use their logo on the caps, so I think that’s a later feature. Their kits came with either Jensen caps or repro bumble bee caps.

Oh ok good to know. The caps look like they could be bumble bee repro. The pots don’t have much info on them other than 500k and 2021 on 2-3 of them and 2025 on the other. I thought they could be date stamps, until I saw 2025. So maybe the 2021 is coincidental?

Right. I think the two first digits of the 4-digit code is the year and the last two is the week of production. Also RS usually mark the pots with permanent marker with BV and NV for bridge and neck volume, and BT and NT for bridge and neck tone.
