Ok so I am a genius .. It will be written somewhere some time
By somebody after this post or perhaps about the post
I stole the tip from .. But I digress

Adhesive shielding copper tape for guitars mic pres
Ribbon microphone mods you name it DIY
and I am sure
If your reading this post you know you have been meaning to get
Some .. But where ..? it's expensive .. ?

I bought a small piece from dimarzio to shield one guitar
But it was $30 ? Wtf

I gave nick Franklin my little collection of mu metal
Shields

But here it is 10 meters of slug tape
for DIY men .. 12 bucks at bunnings !

Don't start a copper rush .. There is enough for everybody

Slug barrier ..
I am brilliant !

i bought A4 sheets from the UK $6 each, from ebay.

What your slugs can read can they ?

hahaa, no sir. i was looking for a cheaper source of copper shield for my guitar than slug tape

Christ .. cheaper then slug tape ?
That's low to the ground Jamil

Leadlight/stained glass suppliers normally carry sticky backed copper tape in various widths

Of coarse ..! Now I am not looking so smart
Next door to me is Sydney stain glass supplies
I can't see how it will be cheaper the slug tape
But all the same .. Good tip!

Slug tape is an awesome tip, Rick!!!

One of these days you'll realise that my signature is not a joke

damn, I just couldn't help that...........roflmao

got my roll of Slugga today.

thanks Rick

Brilliant tip Rick, I'm off to Bunnings tomorrow.

Slugs are a pain, one hitchhiked on the back of our cat a while back and dropped off when the cat went to sleep on my bed, came in to find a *long* trail of silvery slime all over my doona with the slug still at the end of it, thanks cat.. haha

not long after i got my strat, i lined the cavities with copper sheeting I got from the craft shop. This stuff looks like the ant's pants. Great find Rick!

Hey Chris, Why did you line the cavities with copper? I'm not a tech but I love guitars.

Because strat's are a noise magnet and in my limited knowledge at the time, I thought the copper lining might cut back the noise a bit. The back of the pick guard was already lined when I bought it so I just lined the wood in the cavity as well.

I've been busier then a slug

Would you say it"s worth doing as I have a strat and a jaguar with single coils?

Yes, worth doing.

OK thanks Chris I will give it a go.

..........that'll be $50

when your 25 year old sticky backed aluminum foil is no longer sticky & flapping about in the wind trying to isolate you're ribbon bantam ties



slap some slugga on and you're good to go!

.....just a quick thought..... ......I'm hoping the glue used on the slugga won't disolve the plastic on your ribbon ties?

That is a very good question Chris.
Never crossed my mind to be honest, I'll report back if I start loosing channels!
