GUITAR SHIELDING PAINT

REDUCE HUM, BUZZ and RADIO INTERFERENCE
in your ELECTRIC GUITAR or BASS

 

The paint is packed in 30ml (approx. 1 fl oz) bottles. One bottle is enough for 2 coats on a typical Strat-type guitar.

 

For a full range of shielding kits and accessories please see my other items.

 

When properly applied to the pickup and control cavities this paint will significantly reduce hum and noise from ANY un-shielded electric guitar or bass. Mains hum and buzz from lighting dimmers will be greatly attenuated, letting you hear low-level harmonics and detail that were previously masked by the noise. Even guitars with humbucking pickups may have un-shielded wiring, pots and switches, so may benefit from this paint treatment. The outward appearance of the guitar is unchanged. The paint is specially formulated to be effective at audio frequencies. Many other shielding paints are designed to combat radio frequency interference (mobile phones etc.) and aren't very effective at audio frequencies.  This paint can also be used for EMI / RFI shielding of rigid plastic equipment cases.

 

Please Note: All guitars are different. The degree of noise reduction you obtain from fitting this kit will depend on several factors, e.g. pickup type, internal wiring layout, and any shielding already fitted (existing shielding paint may not be obvious), so please check your guitar before buying, and if in doubt contact us for advice. You are purchasing guitar shielding paint with online instructions ONLY. Any other items shown in photographs are for demonstration purposes only and are not included in the sale.

 

HOW IT WORKS  

To get a good sound from your guitar you probably spent more than the price of this kit on a decent cable to plug it in to your amp. That cable will have a heavy copper shield to prevent the central "hot" wire (that carries the guitar signal) from picking up noise in the form of hum, buzz and radio transmissions etc. Unfortunately, it's very likely that  on the inside of the the guitar the hot wire, pickups and controls will be completely unshielded. This kit enables you to continue the screening effect of the cable inside the guitar,  greatly reducing the background noise - especially on guitars fitted with single coil pickups, e.g. Stratocaster, Telecaster, etc.

This is achieved by coating the pickup and control cavities with a specially formulated conductive paint, and covering the underside of the pickguard or control cover with heavy duty self-adhesive copper foil. These are both connected to the cable screen. This has the effect of enclosing all of the guitar’s electronics in a conductive box which is connected to ground. Any noise that would previously have been picked up and amplified along with the guitar signal is now mostly shunted to ground, giving a much cleaner signal.

In a live situation, buzzes from lighting dimmers are greatly reduced. In the studio, the improved signal to noise ratio makes everything easier— you'll spend less time walking around the room or spinning on a chair trying to find the sweet-spot where the noise nulls out. And the guitar just sounds better - low level harmonics that were previously buried in the mains hum and noise are now audible, making the overall sound richer and more dynamic. 

I've been recording guitars for over 20 years - when someone walks into the studio and takes a strat or tele out of its box you never know quite what to expect. Don't assume that expensive guitars will be shielded properly - most mainstream manufacturers do little or nothing to shield their guitars regardless of price. The screening on some £1000+ guitars really is almost non-existent, and you can probably guess which manufacturer is the worst of-Fender  ;-)
