Ibanez: RG821... foiled

Here's a look under at the Ibanez RG821 control cavity.

It must be a standard procedure now- to line a foil in addition to the shielding paint, we've seen that in another Premium model, the S970. This is by no means a superior treatment because shielding is effective even without the foil inclusion. More importantly, if your pickups are given the correct treatment in dealing with extraneous noise (eg: wax potting), this should be a secondary concern.

The standard of workmanship here is quite the extra you pay for- neater, less cluttered & very visually pleasing. 

The RG821 is a dual humbucking guitar but the pickup selector is a 5-way option.
