Confirm noise shielding in new construction?

[zionstrat]

Folks-
Have enjoyed GN1 and GN2 for some time and am now preparing to build my first parts gtr this fall-

I am pretty familiar with the 'retrofit' shielding for strats discussed in GN1, but considering I am doing this from scratch with a different design, I wanted to make sure I had applied the principles I had learned by developing a checklist for my new construction-

Would a few of you look this over and see if I've got the details and order correct and let me know if I need to add anything?

Thanks!

Goal- Shield electronics and create as few ground loops as possible while wiring a new p90, dual rail, p90 guitar (no pickgaurd)-

1. Line body cavity with copper foil

2. Insure that all pots and controls make direct contact with foil. (Assuming that this grounds all pots/controls and that I do not need a separate negative lead as described in next step?)

3. Ground bridge and all negative runs (including output jack?) directly to a single point and solder to the shielding foil to avoid multiple ground paths.

4. Shield cavity cover with copper and confirm that it makes full contact with shielding within cavity.

Hows this look?
Thanks

That looks right to me. Peace Damian.

Thanks much!

sounds great. make sure to solder the overlaps in the shielding foil. this helps secure the grounding foil and assures a full grounding surface with no interuptions. good luck!
