Those arent even NOS, just clipped out of old equipment. The reason the .022's are so expensive is that Gibson used them in the pickup circuit of the early les paul. Guitarists replace the modern caps in new Les paul's with these because they believe they are part of the classic Les paul sound. Still, it doesnt justify spending thus much money on clipped, leaky caps. At that price, the zenith in my sig could have made me enough to buy a compact car.
