Isolating the strings

Isolating the strings I have been working on my Yamaha Pacifica-basically modding it with all the known mods such as .015 cap for tone, putting in new pickups etc... Finally I am reading about string grounding and I know about the .1uF/250V-450 cap that I can put in between the ground wire and and the strings, but my friend told me I could put the .1uF cap AND a 1MEG resistor in parallel. This would still ground and filter but would also prevent dangerous shocks. Anyone know about this? Thanks, Aron |

| anonymous | Aron I like to disconnect the string ground if I shield a guitar. I find with a strat style guitar, plastic knobs, plastic tip on switch and a shielding/wiring I find no difference with the strings connected or disconnected so I leave them disconnected the output jack is still exposed with the metal plate. |
