Ron G Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I don't know if these are practical in your circumstances' date=' but any of them should work - as far as it goes. (Tongue in cheek offering here, just in case). Buy a pint of shielding paint, pour it into an f-hole and roll the guitar around, front, back, sides, and the excess will run out the f-holes when you turn it upside down to coat the inside of the top! Slightly more serious, use a airbrush and spray every inch of the inside you can see from the f-holes, pickup cavities, etc., with copious quantities of the aforementioned shielding paint. Build your own. Carverman did it. Install 97 rolls of shielding tape to the interior of the body just before final assembly. Paint your music room with shielding paint and only play inside! With the door shut! Don't forget to remove all the florescent light fixtures and then ground the ceiling! Wrap the whole guitar in aluminum foil! I have it on good authority that stops cosmic rays! BUILD the guitar out of metal and let it be its own cage! Oh, that's a dobro, isn't it? Are they any quieter?[/quote'] or.....save yourself a whole lot of hassle and grief - play an acoustic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricochet Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 so how do you ground the copper shielding tape? Screw or solder on a ground wire in the shielded cavity and connect to ground, like the back of a pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I wish the cable was shielded, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burstbucker1281734065 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 This would be known as a Biff'S cage because he is in possession of it. Biff, what size and type of pick do you use to play in the configuration? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
