Reducing Guitar Pickup Noise

There really is nothing like the tone of a prized Fender Strat or Telecaster. Electric guitar lovers, whether or not they play or they listen, know that unique "bark" that these classic electric guitars make. They also know that there is infrequently a hum, which is the result of their single Coil Pickups, which are subject to outside interference and electro-magnetic static. Fortunately you need to use copper foil shielding to reduce pickup noise.

Single coil pickups have just one coil winding around their magnets, and this is the cause of the hum that you sometimes hear. As the magnet is exposed, it tends to pick up interference from electric wiring, which enters the signal trail. The result's a 50 "60 hertz hum, which can mess up the bark of the guitar. Using guitar kits or do it yourself strategies, this can be easily fixed. Whether you use copper foil shielding or you do it on your own, you are going to need a fair quantity of technical dexterity.

Copper foil shielding kits will run from $15 - $25, and can be easily found on the net. The kits themselves typically contain self-adhesive copper foil shielding, solder, single conductor insulated wire and complete instructions. You are going to need a soldering pencil, heat shrinking tubes, tools and a volt/ohm meter. You'll also need a supply of masking tape, pencils and paper. Again, even with the kit it isn't a role for the faint of heart, so proceed with caution.

To install the copper foil shielding, you are first going to need to dismantle much of your guitar. That's where the pencil and paper come in. Please, make extensive notes of what you took off and where it is going. One mistake can ruin your beloved guitar. Also, if your single coil pickups are vintage or rare, it may be best to let a pro apply. Don't take the chance of spoiling something that is essential.

The point of the copper foil shielding is to ground the pickups and the output wire. Doing so can dump the hum. You're going to be forced to remove the pickup covers and pickups themselves, and rewrap the wires with protective tape. The pick-guard must also be removed, and the copper foil must be securely placed under it before replacing it. Once done, the wiring should be tested for shorts. Overall, there is a bit of technical ability needed, but if you happen to feel assured, have the right tools and follow the directions, you should have minimal problems.

There is not anything like the bark from a vintage Fender, and there's nothing like a pickup hum to destroy the sound. Fortunately , with copper foil shielding guitar kits and some technical ability, you can mitigate the background noise and sound as clear as Jimi.
