Shielding a Stratocaster using copper shielding tape. In this video we cover how to create a perfect Faraday cage and how to ground it.

Shielding your guitar is useful if you gig a lot in front of stage lights and large amps to protect your guitar from EMI (electro-magnetic interference)....if you're a bedroom player, it’s not quite as important. Nevertheless, if your guitar is vulnerable to unwanted electronic feedback, shielding the electronic components using copper or aluminium tape to create a Faraday cage is a great way to help reduce unwanted noise.

It is a simple enough thing to do but it is imperative that you achieve full continuity between the pickguard and the control cavities beneath.

The copper shielding tape shown in this video and other guitar wiring & shielding supplies are available from our website.
