Description

DiMarzio was founded on the spirit of continuous improvement and a passionate reverence for our vintage roots. Our parts hold to these same ideals, because we know that the performance of your pickups is only as good as the parts connecting them. So, we searched the industry for the most robust, reliable, and finest sounding electrical parts to offer our customers, including many parts that are custom-built specifically for DiMarzio.

One of the keys to superior tone and the strongest signal is through properly shielding and grounding the guitar. Our copper shielding tape is 3 Mil thick, so that it’s sturdy enough to accept solder and still malleable enough to work around the tight corners of an electronics cavity or rest comfortably under pots and switches. Adhesive backing makes it easy to apply, and the size of each strip is 3½ by 24 inches.

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about DiMarzio Copper Shielding Tape.

Setup and maintenance

  • Soldering the tape overlaps ensures conductivity, addressing occasional non-conductive spots in the shielding process.

    Source
  • For robust grounding, wind the connecting wire around a screw and secure it into the wood through the shielding, rather than just taping it down.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Shielding cavity with DiMarzio Copper Tape significantly reduces noise even with humbucker-equipped guitars like the Epiphone Les Paul 100.

    Source
  • For better shielding, consider fully enclosing the pickup cavity as Strat pickguards are often only partially covered in aluminum, which may not suffice.

    Source
  • Completing the Faraday cage effect can be achieved by attaching a metal bracket over the strings, connected to the shielding, to better shield single coils from EM interference.

    Source

Features and functionality

  • Copper tape used was conductive on only one side, requiring additional soldering to ensure a continuous shield.

    Source
  • Conductive copper tape can be effectively used in over 50 small pieces without soldering if both copper and adhesive are conductive, as confirmed by product packaging and user reviews.

    Source

User experience

  • Insulating the output jack cavity with electrical tape can prevent shorting issues when using copper shielding tape.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • Shielding primarily protects against EM pollution in environments with light dimmers or fluorescent lights, which can exacerbate single coil buzz.
