Might depend on the guitar. My Strat is shielded from the factory.

It shouldn't be too much trouble to go ahead and shield everything.

I'd recommend a 100% shield cable also. I use Planet Waves Custom series because they're the cheapest I've found that are 100% shielded.

Aluminium foil don't do a good job . You waist your time.
Use black conductive ( easier ) paint or copper.
