Finally getting round to finishing a telecaster I started about three years ago...

I love using copper tape to shield - it's not as smooth or neat as carbon paint, but looks so nice in the cavities - like a little future surprise to anyone that works on it down the line.

Should be finished with this one tomorrow - just soldering to go.

Your copper tape work is so neat. I did the same to a vintage Jag after someone stripped all the shielding out and, well, it worked, but it was not pretty. Great stuff though.

Thanks - I think it was likely easier for me as I had the templates I'd used to cut all the cavities in the first place, so could cut the tape really accurately to fit them. It's not the best stuff to work with - you only get one shot before it loses its stickiness :)
