Shielding Kit

Shielding your guitar will help eliminate annoying hum from the amplified sound.

Conductive Shielding Paint is easy to apply. Simply paint on the insides of the guitar's cavities using a small artists brush. The paint dries quickly, in less than an hour. For best coverage apply two coats.

Conductive Copper Tape is self-adhesive and easy to apply. It can be cut to shape with scissors or a blade. It can be bent and folded and conforms to edges to form a seamless coverage.

For best results all cavities should be covered in tape then connected to ground. Usually the shielding is automatically connected to ground when the pots are installed and touch it.

The Pickguard Shielding Foil is also a self-adhesive aluminum shielding material.

To use simply cut it to a pickguard shape or cut it down to only cover the control cavity area. It is self-adhesive so it is easy to apply. Just be sure the foil is connected to ground somehow, usually this happens automatically when a volume or tone pot contacts it.
