I took the pickguard and control plate off, and the cavities are painted black but it's anyone's guess as to whether or not it's shielding paint. So I will go with the foil method for both the cavities and the pg.

Interestingly, my Artcore has no shielding paint in the cavities nor foil on the pg, yet it hums less than the '51 when near the computer. I guess that's the humbuckers doing their thing. 8) But I'll probably go ahead and shield that guitar too.

Thanks for starting this thread!]]> Guitar Players Discussion slejhamer https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adventures-in-sheilding/#post-140187 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adventures-in-sheilding/#post-140166 Tue, 22 Nov 2005 09:57:50 +0000
I'm curious - did your guitar have shielding paint in the cavities beforehand, and is shielding tape more effective than shielding paint?

I believe my '51 has shielding paint, but it sounds like your first sound clip (worse actually) when I get it near my computer to record. Mine didn't. To see if you do you'll have to open it up and see. If your regular finish just continues into the cavities chances are you don't. Considering that your guitar hums worse than mine when I had a compressor effect cranked up I would imagine it could benefit from sheilding.

As mentioned above, using foil is easier to use and provides a more effective method of sheilding, so go with it. Plus, you don't have to wait around for it to dry, it's just there.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Metaellihead https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adventures-in-sheilding/#post-140166 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adventures-in-sheilding/#post-140048 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 19:20:50 +0000 Excellent info Nils. My pg is definitely not shielded. Project for txgiving weekend!

Nick: that's a great website.

Shielding paint has a high effectiveness but not as high as the foil does. Also check because sometimes they shield the cavity but not the pick guard which can also make a big difference.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adventures-in-sheilding/#post-140025 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adventures-in-sheilding/#post-140024 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 17:17:21 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adventures-in-sheilding/#post-140024 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/adventures-in-sheilding/#post-139990 Mon, 21 Nov 2005 14:34:43 +0000

It's sorta satisfying, isn't it - getting in there and soldering and wiring stuff up? Even if you don't change a thing and it's basically wired the same way and everything, it makes the instrument feel more 'personal' somehow.
