Treble bleed Cap is quite big

The big fat one is a treble-pass cap - it would never normally be that big, it's a very small cap value, but Fender have used a fancy-pants type for added mojo/marketing. They must have got them cheap.
The slightly smaller - although much larger in value - white one with the Fender logo is the neck/middle pickup tone cap, which is also a fancy type.
The two yellow/orange ones are the 'Greasebucket' tone control system for the bridge pickup, which is a bit of an odd arrangement where the effective capacitance is reduced at the same time as the control is turned down. These are cheap ceramic caps.
And after all that, none of it makes any difference if you leave the controls turned up full, and a vintage Strat with a single cheap ceramic cap (that's what Fender used in the 60s) still sounds better if you don't.

I put a 330pf on my Strat but I'd like to know their take on it.
