Hey
I'll quickly start with the problem I got.
I tried to shield my guitar cavity from the unwanted noise, soo I took the aluminium tape and I filled the whole cavity with it. Everything seemed to look fine, but when I connected it to my TonePort GX instead of getting it more quiet, it just got louder.
Ground is wired to the volume pot but from this SCHEME I can see that the ground is suppose to be wired to the switch selector.
I noticed also when I touch metal parts on my guitar it goes a bit silent, but still it hums more than before the cavity was shielded. My backplate also has the aluminium tape. Everything was checked with multimeter. Will it matter if I solder the ground to the pickup selector instead of volume pot ?
Here's the picture of what I've already done.
