More Words on Shielding

An excellent "how to" article on shielding from the Stewart-MacDonald web site where you can buy an entire shielding kit:

"Shielding allows you to substantially reduce all unwanted interference and hum. This kit is even beneficial for most production instruments as it lets you completely encase all of the pickups and controls with a grounded foil. Also included is a special wire for shielding non-shielded pickup leads. This allows you to eliminate unnecessary interference, as well as being able to switch the phase of a shielded pickup independently from its grounded shield."

P.S. UPDATE: I ended up buying my copper foil for the shielding project online at Superior Sound Designs. I had forgotten what a pain it was to find adhesive-backed copper foil locally. Thank god for the internet!
