Tonight we're going to hear what a difference
it makes
to have an electromagnetic shielding based
on the Farady's Cage principle
in a fairly common guitar.
This one has double rail pickups a.k.a. stacked
humbuckers
these pickups are less noisy than normal single-coils,
the 
rest of the electronics, however, is the standard
Strat-like circuitry.
I'm cranking all controls to their MAX position
and we'll start by selecting the 1st position
to hear the neck pickup alone.
All of the controls in the amplifier are in
the middle position.
The neon lamp will be 20 cm away from the
pickups

And the camera will rest over the 12th fret
-let's see if it stops rocking...-
let's turn the amp ON!
There's the noise!
Note how the hum changes when the lamp 
is off.
Alright, we're going to do the test again
This time, the shielding has been installed
and I installed a coil-splitting switch here.

Ok, let's test it again. This time, the shielding has been installed

Spanish: 
The lamp will be 20 cm away just as before...
... the bottom of the guitar is touching the
speaker...
... all the controls of the amp are in the
middle position...
(amplifier is turned ON)
... and the camera will rest on the 12th fret.
(strings sounding through the amplifier)
I hope the camera rocking doesn't bother you
that much.
Ok; volume at MAX, tone at MAX, and let's
turn the lamp ON.
There it is.
- I don't want to hear the puppy barking -
OK
(The amp is still ON. No noise at all!)

You can hear the difference now
Let's turn OFF the lamp...
