Hey dudes,
I wonder if anyone here has perhaps had any experience with this. I've found tons of info online for strat-type axes with pickguards but not much for rear-routed superstrats. The Ibanez RG570 which I refinished a while back has ridiculously noisy electronics - I recently bumped up my gain settings significantly so it's way more noticeable now where my other guitars are choep-stil.
I am looking at getting new pots, a new switch and this kit (which from what I understand SHOULD contain all of the shielded wiring I need):

I need to know whether I should go for the small shielding kit or the big one? I've read though that aluminium foil and glue work just as well. Maybe just a roll of heavy foil and some shielded wire?? Also, any tips for shielding this particular guitar? There is no pickguard so it's not simply a case of lining the control cavity and pickguard and then connecting it all to ground.
Much appreesh!
