Review on Copper Foil Tape 2 Inch X 33Ft - Perfect For EMI Shielding And Electrical Conductivity by Jaya Walsh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality shielding tape.

Little pricey but great quality. Be aware of what you are doing while working with this tape, it is made of metal. I got complacent and cut the crap out of my finger while shielding the pick guard of a Squire Strat I’m upgrading. Adheasive works great. I can’t speak yet for the effectiveness of shielding as my guitar is still in pieces but assuming I did it right, it should work great.*update: After assembling my guitar I noticed that there is no hum or buzz whatsoever when plugged into an amp on a clean channel, even at high volume. On the dirty channel the buzz is still there when any single pickup is selected although it is quieter. When the middle and either the bridge or neck pups are selected together, the buzz goes away (which it should in theory any way but never really did fully). Not sure if that is typical or if I just didn't do that great of a job, but overall I'm happy with this product and there's plenty of tape left over to shield a couple more guitars.

Pros
  • Provides a clean and professional appearance
Cons
  • May require additional maintenance over time
