I am gett ing a lot of unwanted extra noise from the high E string on

cap, like maybe .006uF or something like that?

If the problem is "noise"--buzz, hum, squeaks--the cap really shouldn't have anything to do with it. If it's the *tone* of that one string, the cap would affect that. Is it a problem that just started recently? Did it start right after changing strings?
