so i have a mim strat with a humbucker in the bridge an sd hotrails in the neck and a stock single coil in the middle


i just ordered some self adhesive copper tape with the intention of shielding the cavity to reduce hum

what is the best way of going about this?

do i have to undo the wiring or can i work around it?

where should i shield?

basically any input is appreciated

im gonna tag along on this one.

you shouldn't be getting any hum from the bucker or the rails so that leaves the stock middle pup , i would get a noisless pup and save a lt of messing about , just a thought

yeah in positions 1 and 6 i have no hum but i do in 2,3 and 4

is there any down side in shielding?

i heard somewhere that it adds a little mud but i dont know if thats true
