Cavity paint-----er

[eSGEe]

NOT body cavities you PERVS!

This crap
XGP Flat Black Cavity Shielding paint- HIGHLY conductive!


IS GOOD crap.

Some may recal my lovely little P90 SG Jr......well after a pup swap (thanks RVA) it was STILL noisy --I MEAN BAD --- any gain or any sort of dirt would send it to HUM-TOPIA and no knob fiddling could calm it---
Still the thing was/is very nice ---see




SADLY to the point I was THINKING of trading it off ---OR ripping the P90 out and putting a humbucker in it............however...... I decided to try a proper shielding .......and it has TRANSFORMED this thing----110% improvement ---- WONMDERFUL stuff and IMHO faster and easier than copper tape.

The SG Jr. will be here a lot longer now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm...great timing.

Right AFTER I put all the copper tape in my Lester Studio project!

This stuff would have been easier...way easier.

Oh well...at least all my Les Paul's cavities are shiny!!!

(I have a feeling I'm gonna regret typing that!)

 

[eSGEe]

:dood:

 

[eSGEe]

dropped all the HUM out of this beastie as well.


One bottle goes a long way. thats 2 geetars....calmed ---- quieter and more playable...for less cost than a pair of new bass strings........(not like I ever BUY new bass strings--- lol)

I don't have any guitars with hum problem...I do however have an amp or two that won't be quiet, even with no input.

 

[eSGEe]

MAybe they sell a gallon jug? ---- just kidding---

Took 9 feet to quiet my SG.....wish I would have had a solid review of the paint back then.... :-(

which one is humming ??

Fer sure.

I bought an 18 foot roll, but didn't use anywhere close to that. I'm not going to unroll the rest to see how much is left!

I bought a 2" wide roll, so I was able to cover quite a bit with short pieces.

I looked at lots of paint prior to doing the copper thing. I don't regret doing the copper. But, I would have been willing to buy two bottle of this stuff.

I shielded my old strat (pics previously posted). I shielded everything to make a tight box. It's the quietest strat I've ever seen.

How many coats did you apply to your guitars?

 

[eSGEe]

2 as the directions call for ........I READ the directions----I dont always LISTEN to them---but I do read them lol

One bottle was enough for two coats on two guitars?

That's pretty good!

Well 1 was a Jr. with a small single pup cavity.......the other a "P/J" bass layout and I only did the PUP cavity on the PJ the control cavity came lined with tape when I got it ...................

however I still have 1/4 bottle left........of and Owegi used some of it on one of his guitars......so I think it is a better $ value than the tape.

 

[smitty_p]

...so I think it is a better $ value than the tape.

Yeah, it sounds like it is.

I been fixin to mix up a home batch by scraping off some of the rust on my strings into some old spray paint sprayed into a cup.
Guess i'll be due for a string change at that point.


What you worried about the hum? it sounds better than my playing, its a good thing, like chorus.

That probably helped balance out the neck dive...

That's a better deal than the stuff I priced out about 5 years ago. Did you use this product only in the control cavity?

Just an FYI, I want a right of first refusal if you ever part with this one. I love it!!

How does it sound with the new pup?

Nice control cavity shielding, but the stuff in the pickup cavity is doing absolutely nothing. The pickups are in cans and the wires are coax. They are as shielded as anything ever was already.
