Hey Matthew, a fellow Okie here! (I'm in Tulsa, BTW) Those Sprague capacitors are paper and foil and are called "Black Beauties" or "Bumblebee" (there are differences in the two). They were used in high-end audio, I have a 1960 McIntosh C-20 stereo preamp that uses them. They are VERY hard to find NOS and are NOT cheap. They used the color bands to show their ratings and the system is very similar to the resistance color band chart. They are not invincible, are prone to leakage, shorting, ESR (equivalent series resistance), and straying capacitance values. Seems that you got lucky, I don't hear any issues, yet you might find added tonal qualities by having them replaced with NOS (new old stock) or the new replacements that are now available. (Don't toss the old ones! You may like them better!) Nice job finding and restoring that amazing guitar! Gotta LOVE Goodwill!

I love that the guitar is kept original, it’s not fake patina or relic, lots of people try to make new or old guitars look worn and used but only a true artist can repair an old instrument and keep it looking the way it did while fixing its mistakes.

Agree, and I'm glad they respected the older repairs that were done, as unsophisticated as they were. We have no idea of the circumstances of the owner, other than he played the sh*t out of that thing, and he probably did what he was able to keep it playing. So glad that they didn't "restore" it - they just fixed the broke parts and let it shine its own light, wrinkles and all.

The colors even represent the same numbers as the resistor color bands, but the "layout" is a bit different.
