Can you post pics of what it looks like with the shielding in place?
Wow, the entire inside of the box. I'll keep that in mind should I have a similar problem. I'm getting more into the electronics with my guitars and am sure I will at some point encounter a similar problem. Glad to have been of some use :) Have fun.
I had a similar problem and solved it by painting the entire inside of the box and the backside of the tailpiece with shielding paint from Stewmac.
I'm going to start sheilding the entire inside of every box. Chasing this problem was a huge waste of time and energy (although I did learn something).
Special thanks to the Phrygian Kid. Your advice is always spot on and this isn't the first time you helped me out.
Thanks again.
I like the shape of the lap steel. If you haven't put the fret board on it got to Lowes and get a piece of 1/8" x 3" x 36" oak board) and get a water slide fret decal from E-Bay http://www.ebay.com/itm/220896933382?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_... This guy from the UK sells them for $13.00. That way you won't have to fret with a sharpie or cut frets ...etc P.I.T.A ss.. It is like the little decals from a model car. You wet it and slide it on the fretboard. How easy is that. That is what I am going to use. Check out my No.2 build. My name is Paul Monaco. I just joined the forum.
If you take the (-) ground lead (black ) from the 1/4" jack and solder it to the back of the pot body and the (-) of your pickup to the same spot then put a small jumper from the tab on the pot to the back of the pot. You may have to scratch the back of the pot to solder to it. That should work.
I wonder if all of these types of problems are really down to shielding or if some of them are actually ground loop problems? Shielding materials are typically conductive, and if applied to the areas to which the pots and switches are attached, might indirectly solve ground loop problems too. I don't know for sure, and I expect the majority really are shielding issues, but, well.. just saying "maybe"!
Here is some information that goes into a little greater detail about humming problems.
