I started out heavily inspired by Novo guitars by Dennis Fano - and my building philosophy is - not to reinvent the wheel- but rather try to learn from the greats.
I’m a guitar building beginner with my fourth guitar/partscaster build.
With this project I wanted to make something visually special and unique while keeping it pretty traditional with the rest.
I built my first guitar under corona lockdown in the summer 2020 and guitar building kind of hooked me.

I always shield guitars if they come unshielded, but I use aluminium foil from the kitchen, moulded to the cavity shape in one piece (as best I can) and stuck down with Pritt Stick. Copper tape (slug tape from the garden centre) is easier to apply, but I feel that it alters the guitar's tone. Another place I shield is the complete underside of plastic Telecaster pickguards, because if they're not grounded, a pick can generate some sort of static electric charge that I hear every time I strum.
Thanks for great input 👍😉
And thanks for watching 😃🙏🏻
Did you post this video for the second time? I m sure i ve seen it already... but maybe my mind is playing tricks on me!
Hi John, no I didn’t post it before but I did make kind of the same video on the other guitars I built. Maybe that’s it 😉
But thanks for watching and for your comment 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😃🙏🏻
The thing that people dont usually mention about shielding guitars is that it makes all the subtle ringing out string sounds finally audible, when before they were down in the noise. It really changes the perception of a guitar.
The first guitar I sheilded was about 1995 - a friends late 80's Fender Strat. I put a cut up pie tin inside it, which allowed a fairly thick piece of aluminum to cover the cavity in one piece. I disliked that guitar greatly before, but just shielding it changed my mind completely about it.
Hey Leif, thanks for watching and for for your great comment 😃🙏🏻
The copper foil at the screw hole really is a pro tip. When you painted the black strip connecting the 3 pickup cavities, I thought a lot of times Fender pickguards would warp and that would separate the connection. But with the screw hole you can be certain.
Hi Dylan, you are absolutely right… 😉👍
Thanks so much for watching and taking time to comment 🙏🏻😃
