hi,

 

just opened up my samick av3, and discovered to my pleasant surprise that the body cavity is shielded with black shielding paint.

 

afaik this is only common in higher end guitars... my previous squier bullet doesn't have it, just spray paint and wood shavings...

 

do SX or Squier Affinitys/Standards have it?

A conductive layer on the cavity is good but not enough. The way things are generally wired create many occasions to pick up hum.

To shield the whole thing right : www.guitarnuts.com

Check out the "Quieting the beast" section. :cool:
