Guitar Copper Shielding – How to Shield a Strat

Shielding a Stratocaster using copper shielding tape. We also compare the results of copper shielding against EMI shielding paint….

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, its not quite as important.

Its a simple enough thing to do but its imperative you achieve full continuity between the pickguard and the control cavities beneath.

We show you how to shield the underside of your pickguard as well as the control cavity of the guitar itself.
