So do most guitars have a cap on the volume and or tone pots?

There should always be a cap (capacitor) on the tone control, or else it's a volume control. For a tone control, one lead of a cap will always be tied to ground, usually just soldered to the back of the tone pot. If a volume control has a cap on it, it's probably for "treble bypass", it will be smaller than the cap used for the tone control and the legs will be between two lugs on the volume pot.
