Your cart is empty.If you play a Telecaster, Stratocaster, or any other single coil guitar kit then your axe is susceptible to electromagnetic static and outside interference. Guitar gods such as SRV are known for their clean bluesy tones that can only be produced by a single coil guitar pickup. Buzz Kill is the prescription for a hum-free electric guitar. Easy to work with, just cut to fit with ordinary scissors. The strong conductive adhesive means you don't have to solder across the pieces.

Works well for eliminating or quieting buzz.The adhesion is good and the product actually sticks well to both raw wood and uneven surfaces.The product is easy to cut and use. Thickness is just right (not too thick not too thin)It’s durable enough to contour around rough and uneven surfaces without tearing.I bought the smaller size roll which literally comes in a prescription bottle with an annoying child proof lid, but this size was more than enough to do two Les Paul style guitars.Value is good … even considering the smaller sized version (Because it works)

Great for shielding pick guards. Cuts easy with exact knife.

It's really sad I can't give this product a 5 star review because it works phenomenally. I have a cheap gio and even the so called humbuckers buzzed awfully. Now I'm almost afraid I'll forget to practice because I don't even realize my amp is turned on!! Zero grinding awful background noise at all on medium settings on my 20 watt practice amp. I mean, my room is eeriely quiet. It took about an hour or more to get done but I'm so glad I did it.That being said, there really is only just BARELY enough tape for ONE guitar, and you have to be absolutely sparing with it and use every last shred perfectly. There is no room for error or overlapping. If it had came with 10 percent more product so I could feel confident I could get the job done without stressing, I'd give it 5 stars absolutely.But as cheap as it is, for the price, they could do with adding just a little bit more so you're not worried about each little piece and have enough to fix mistakes.Either way, huge improvement and I'd do it all over again!

This is a terrific product to climate 60Hz hum from electric guitars and basses. The conductive adhesive indeed conducts! Thus, it is easy to layer the foil to make an electrical "cage" around pickups and electronics in the guitar's cavity. Tip: I find using a pencil eraser handy for gently pressing the foil into each corner of the cavity.The foil is also easy to solder onto, which is necessary for solid, zero ohm ground paths.Very good product to help improve electric guitars and basses!

Contrary to the description, this stuff isn’t just for single coil guitars. It helped reduce the small amount of noise coming from my active bass.I also noticed an increase in buzz after I swapped a pickguard with shielding on the back for one without. I used this stuff to along the back of the new pickguard and the pots are better grounded now and the him is reduced greatly overall.Well worth the price.

Worked great, sticks well and goes on easily. Was skeptical over the amount that arrived but it was perfect. The tape is easy to work with and cut to shape. Patching odd areas is simple and blends right in. Thin but durable.

I've used this on less expensive strat style guitars, which often have hum problems. I like this foil because the adhesive is conductive. Also the foil is fairly thick which makes it durable when you're pressing it into place, it won't tear. Also being copper and fairly thick, you can solder a ground wire right down on the surface. There's videos online that show how to use this. It's not that hard and can really quiet down a noisy guitar. In a nutshell, you take off your strings, take off your pick guard and pickups. This tape is applied to the inside of the guitar cavities, and the backside of the pick guard, forming a shielded enclosure for you pickups, pots, switches and internal wiring. Cuts the hum or "buzz" way down. Makes your guitar quiet, so you only hears the sounds that you're playing.Update: I ordered again, this time for an American Standard Strat. It already had conductive paint, but still had a little hum in the 1, 3, 5 switch positions (single pickup selections). I had taken it apart to do some wiring mods, so while I was at it, I used this copper foil to completely line all the inside cavities. I think this newer roll was just a little thinner, I'd guess 10% less thickness than the same item I ordered before. But it was fine, actually a little easier to form into the inside corners, and plenty sturdy enough. Sine the adhesive is conductive, it's no problem if you have little gaps here and there. You can just make little patches as needed. Make sure to ground it and you're good to go. Oh, one thing to watch out for, the output jack might get shorted to ground if it touches the copper foil (yes I shielded that cavity too). Easy fix is to put a piece of black plastic electrical tape around the outside of that contact for the tip of the plug. And yes, it did quiet down almost all of the hum in the 1, 3, 5 switch positions. It also quieted the humbucker positions 2 and 4, so you can still a difference. Then again, when I'm using high gain, I always use the bridge and middle pups.P.s. There's a bunch of sellers for products like this, but in my research this was the best quaility and value. Just my opinion, YMMV.
