Hey guys -
Finally looking into doing this - shielding my Tribute ASAT. Going to require some learning on my part - soldering (have done some, but not much) mainly, but I'm wondering if anyone has any resources?
I've been reading the StewMac site for their walk through and are considering buying their kit. It's a little pricey, but comes with everything and instructions which will be invaluable.
Anyone have any other ideas as to where I can pick up everything I need for cheaper or the same price (30$ shipped)? Or just ideas and hints from your own experience? Planning on doing the whole thing - pickup cavity and control cavity, pickguard.

You doing the paint or tape?
Re: shielding my ASAT...
Probably tape. Looking at the StewMac instructions and a dude over at TGP is helping me - he did his Bluesboy a cavity at a time and didn't take the whole thing apart, which is really appealing to me since I have jack all for soldering skills.
Just wondering how/where you ground the shield?
