To eliminate noise and pickup hum, it is important to line the guitar body cavity with copper shielding tape. The tape is pretty easy to work with and simply touching pieces of tape together will electrically connect all the pieces. The tape sticks out of the body cavity just a little bit, and this is because I will want it to touch the shielding tape on the pick guard (still to come).

A work in progress. You can see from the picture that the tape cuts with ordinary scissors.
Body cavity covered with copper shielding tape. Note, be careful when using this tape as I have a bunch of tiny cuts on my thumbs and index fingers.
