moojiefulagin Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Hi! I had asked about grounding a hollowbody, since there's no isolated electronics compartment to cover in copper tape. bluespresence told me to use a Belden Cable, but I was wondering if I have the shielded cable from Stewmac if that would be substantial, or if I could purchase some sort of tubing through which to run them? Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I think that StewMac's cable is Belden cable - any good low-capacitance cable will work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morben Guitars Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 It look like you're talking about shielding the guitar - which is a little different than grounding the electronics. If you use the stew-mac shilded cable, you should have a decent shield. If you want to further prevent interference with the signal, you can use the shielding paint, which works well - needs to be done prior to construction of a hollow body tho... When running the shielding (and any grounding) be sure to use star grounding to prevent any ground-loops from occuring and generating hum.
