Shielding in a S500 deluxe. Is it possible.

Post by meowmix »

I have no idea what it looks like inside.

Is shielding possible in a S500 deluxe? I can see the control plate is, what about where the pickups are located? Thanks

If it's calm in positions 2 und 4 of the 5 way selector, extra shielding will have no or no remarkable effect.

I want to know how much of it will be a mess to get Nickel paint inside. Everything must be covered.

that is false. the 2 and 4 positions tell you if the middle pup is rwrp. reducing rfi and emi can still quiet the guitar in the sc modes. the hu canceling mode cancels rfi and emi that the pups pick up, just not the rest of the electronics. shielding will make the other 3 positions less noisy in bad environments.

That's what I meant. If it's quiet in the hum canceling modes, the electronics is perfect, nothing to do and how would you shield the pick ups in a Deluxe?

I would need to see :searching: how it was put together. It might be really easy. Then again....
