Things to consider: 1 - You can only shift the resonant frequency downward by adding capacitance, not upward. 2 - The toggle switch is a nice feature but not absolutely necessary. You could have one position on the rotary that does not have a capacitor. 3 - The volume control on the guitar should always remain at maximum when doing this evaluation. Turning the volume even slightly CCW will add resistance and affect the Q of the circuit, which will soften the peak. 4 - The loading caused by the resistance of the volume and tone controls soften the peak a lot and reduce the resonant frequency slightly, compared to an unloaded pickup. To sharpen the peak, one could use a no-load tone pot and/or use a volume pot of higher resistance value. 5 - Exploring inexpensive modifications is fun. Do it!

If inductors were easy to make or buy, we could make it work both way. I know nothing about resonance peak, but I guess that several inductors (or one with several taps) would do the trick, removing mud and keeping the high end.

I'm probably one of a handful of U.S. viewers that bought the blueprint (and found that some of those capacitors are hard to come by on Amazon without buying 250-500 others) and decided to find out how bad their soldering skills diminished over the years. 1. The box I ended up getting was too small by 1/2 a size. However, I found my inner Japanese manufacturing skills and made it fit. 2. The 12P dial I ended up receiving was a piece of garbage, but I was not willing to spend too much on my first attempt. 3. For anyone trying this out, just use the wire you trim/cut from the capacitors to bridge them. This is not a big learning curve, it is a rather simple project. Finding the right capacitors and dial was the hardest part, and then fitting them into this small box was a feat I would not want to go through again....but I bought 3 of these boxes, so I imagine I will try two more times.

I have three caps in my lap steel. I just did the mini version of this with a three way toggle, after selecting caps. As stated before by another, the volume knob or volume pedal will obviously take any cap out of line. The biggest thing anyone can do as a player, is have fun, spend time, more than money on fun projects. If you choose, build this item, and if you add mini pots, CTS, 250 and then a 500 or 1000, you can directly line the guitar into it, then not only choose caps, but choose pot values for any guitar or circuit, or combination. Then just write down your results, and kick on the soldering iron. 😬😂 The possibilities, and the myths out there, you'll soon realise can be misleading with size or brands, or models. I'm not a scientist, but I also have taken caps from cheap things such as radios, or whatever I see at a garage sale I can use. Don't always get caught up in "guitar parts" as the end all. At one time James Buchanan had a dryer starter cap in a 50s telecaster. Why? Well listen to him on Austin City Limits, and I guess that's why. Have fun!!

You could wire a selector switch and some capacitor options into the guitar. In place of the tone knobs. I literally always have tone knobs wide open. Never use them. This is better!

Yes. I’d never heard of that (never owned a Gibson) but I just checked out the schematic and yes it looks like it.

you should also keep the cable from the box to the amp short. given that the box is passive (doesn't buffer the output), the cable capacitance from the box to the amp will also affect the overall capacitance.
