Wow, that is really nice
Not only does your LS320 look like the good 'reverends' 'pearly gates' it's strung the same too!!

How do you like the .033? Some of my NOS black beauties that are marked .022, actually measure .033 but, I haven't tried them yet?

Are you sure? I own 4 guitars with PIO's and all of them are o.o22, also the LS-320 capacitors.

The pictures linked above show no 320 or 4?0 in my opinion. The electric circuit hole looks very different from all 320's I have seen. But it looks very similar to my LS-150's.
 
The cap issue comes back all the time.

It's actually up to your private taste and the pups you have in your guitar. I suggest that you try what's best for you.

I have a 47 Sprague (neck) and a 22 Bumble in my LS80 with Seths by now. My LC60 has 15s and just sounds perfect.

Listen!

Ah, I see, my fault. I thought you were talking about bumble bees that were used in vintage Les Pauls with Humbuckers, sorry!

But "Listen!" to what?

I put some Zhangliqun pure handwounds in my 320 yesterday and am very happy now. I also flipped the neck pickup's magnet and now I'm really in a greenish tone heaven,-)))

I think what Rup meant was try different size caps in your guitar till you find the ones that sound best for you. I now use .022 caps in my Strats as I find them more useable - I can turn the tone down to roll off some of the top end, but not lose volume in the same way that I do with .1 or .047 caps. No doubt Gibson types are different. Caps are cheap, so try different ones.

There was a thread about pots and caps last year, in case it's any help.

In my opinion, the quest for a high level Tokai is harder. I can't find a LS320, LS370, LS470, ... nothing like that in the market. Where is their production?
