Here's a question.

I got copper shielding tape to try and keep this guitar a bit quieter.

However... usually, I see shielding tape on pickguards that have actual pots or other controls on them, but this guitar is a bit different. The pickguard is not connected to any of the actual electronics, only the body.

If I wanted to shield this guitar, would I still shield the pickup cavities and the back of the pickguard, as well as the control cavity and the back of its cover? Then connect a ground wire between the two shields as well as one from the shields to the volume pot or whatever to ground it all?

Instead of soldering said ground to the volume pot, could I connect it to the bridge/tremolo like the other ground wire?
