The Aluminium Strat® Screening Plate is a rigid metal shielding plate designed to sit between the guitar's electronics and the underside of the pickguard. By creating a conductive barrier around the control and switching area, it helps reduce unwanted electromagnetic interference that can enter the guitar's wiring.
Unlike thin self-adhesive shielding foil, this plate is made from solid, thick aluminium, providing a durable and substantial screening solution that retains its shape and offers consistent coverage beneath the pickguard.
Electric guitars, particularly those fitted with single-coil pickups, can be susceptible to unwanted hum and electromagnetic interference from lighting, power supplies, computers and other electronic devices. When properly installed and grounded, the Aluminium Strat® Screening Plate forms part of the guitar's overall shielding system, helping to reduce interference affecting the control cavity and electronics.
Solid, thick aluminium construction
Provides broad shielding coverage beneath the pickguard
More rigid and durable than thin adhesive shielding foil
Helps reduce electromagnetic interference and unwanted noise
Complements shielding in the control and pickup cavities
Ideal for Strat®-style guitars and other compatible pickguard layouts
Can be used as part of a complete, properly grounded shielding system
While shielding cannot eliminate every source of noise, a properly installed screening plate can significantly improve the overall noise resistance of the guitar's electronics, helping to deliver a cleaner and quieter signal without affecting the natural character of the pickups.
