tung oiled jem project ??

heres a project im working on . going to get a 570 neck natural headstock black jem logo.it is (basswood) i wanted the contrast of light body on rosewood neck and cheaper than paint.

Shield those cavities! It'll buzz like a sonuvabitch if you dont.

[andrewsfury]

lol i hooked it up to my tube amp and 0 buzz yeahhhhhhhhh. got lucky i guess.

That just means theres nothing for it to pick up in the immediate area. Take it somewhere with a bunch of flourescent lights.

Shielding is the right idea, you can get a can of the shielding paint from StewMac for fairly cheap, and getting it in all right places quickly is a breeze.

That guitar looks pretty nice A 570 neck is a good choice, but a little color wouldn't hurt it.

[andrewsfury]

so volume\tone cavity , and jack cavity and middle pickup cavity is all to shield right ?

[marianozz]

Shield all pickup cavities, not just the middle... Youre already there, paint in hand, why skimp?

I'd say put the copper foil everywhere.
