Hi Alan, refer to the attached thread: http://www.buildyourownguitar.com.au...182#post160182Originally Posted by Alan P
DarkMark has asked a similar question in relation to his ES-3 kit which he has on order.
Have you built already or are you in build prep?

Hand crafting guitars, because Death Rays are expensive.
I don't think people usually bother with hollow bodies. Many commercial guitars have none at all so its not totally essential. Using hum buckers reduces a lot of the inherent noise in the electronics.
EDIT : Yeah what Simon said via Franken.

Thank you Mark
I have started building and at the electronics stage. Just want to get the shielding done. Cheers

I know most people shield their guitars but I have built 6 and have never shielded any and now none of them make noise. I had a cheap strat and got a Laney LX12 cheap amp as a kit and had nothing but hum. Replaced amp with a Fender Mustang and Line 6 Spider and replaced cheap pups with some Fender noiseless and it doesnt hum. I make my own cables as I find some are very noisy and make sure all my earths are good. When I finish the build I just plug in to an amp and put my hands on strings and bridge to make sure the earth is good. I have built 3 single coiled guitars and none of them hum so maybe I am lucky.
