I used this on a Strat that had very hot pups and very noisy. There was an amazing difference after shielding all the electronics with this tape. It takes a little while get all of it in there, but its worth the time. I can even sit near my computer now without sounding like Frankensteins lab.

Made a Heck of a Difference

This product made such a significant difference on my Dean with active pickups that I did the same on all of my guitars. I just filled the pickup cavity and put it on the back plate. If you have florescent or neon light in your house or where you play or have an annoying buzz when the volume on your guitar is maxed out that you need this.

As long as you do it right...

... It will help. Doing it right means covering the entire control cavity, and making sure that the pickguard or backplate shielding makes contact with the cavity shielding in a few places. Also, if you shield a strat with tape but leave the 50s wiring entirely stock, you will still have noise. It is essential to wire with a common ground (google "star grounding" if you need more info) in order to fully kill the hum. Also note that if any of your solder joints contact the foil tape they can be shorted. I cover a few inside areas with masking tape for this reason. Used properly, metal tape will reduce noise without changing the sound in any other way. Other types of metal tape will work, but the stuff from Dimarzio and other guitar-oriented suppliers has a conductive backing meaning you don't need to solder to insure a continuous shield. I think that justifies the extra cost, YMMV.

try it

Overall:
my modulus bass came with a copper-lined back plate, so I got some copper tape (the kind that keeps snails out of your potted plants) and did the back plates of my gibsons. I got a slight (but worth it) increase in tonal quality.  (my new strat came with the pick  guard lined with what looks like aluminum foil, haven't tried the copper on that though).  you might just try the snail tape, which may be a bit thinner, which might matter some.
