Usable but not great.
The problem is that this shielding doesn't have conductive adhesive.
That means that each time you cut and overlap two pieces, the connection between the pieces is not made. Then you need to solder each part together which is not convenient at all.
I will use it as a single piece for a smaller pickguard, or the cavity cover so it's not completely useless.
It would be useful if the description says that adhesive is non conductive.

Useful for shielding pickguards
I bought this a while back and applied it today on a Harley Benton TE52, on which I did the 4-way-switch mod. After shielding the pickguard, I can only hear a low 60 cycle hum when using only the single coils. Did the job exceptionally. Covered almost the entire standard Telecaster pickguard, not sure it would cover eg a 72 custom Tele or a Strat pickguard.
It came wrinkly but you can fix that by forcing a plastic card on it when applying.

Non conductive adhesive
Non conductive adhesive means that sheets are not connected to each other after application. You have to solder them together or connect through some metal pieces like potentiometers, switches, etc. It's actually not that much of a problem. Other than that the product is fine.

Good product
It cut out a lot of hiss but it needs to be installed correctly, the sticky side is non-conductive so I had to make bridges to complete the circuit. Nevertheless a good product for the price.

screen shield saver
goldo shield screen is a smart buy, a tonal transformation, easily fitted . As i use valve amps hum became a problem the shield solved this straight away, cant understand why guitar manufacturers dont fit shields as standard, anyway it works for me and for you too
You will notice the difference .

A bit too small
It goes fine, but if you need to shield a stratocaster, you'll need two of these.

Nice shield but...
as many other shielding foils it does not have a conductive glue hence you have to find alternative ways to ensure the contact with the pieces. Given the price, though, it is something I can live with :)
Be sure to order at least 2 / 3 pieces.

Buy 2 or 3
Best thing is this product has sticky surface so you don't need to use glue to attach it
note: if you like to apply all surface of guitar. Buy at least 2

A must buy for any project
If you're building your own or upgrading a guitar you really should spend a couple of euros on this stuff. You'll be glad you did and it'll be probably the best and cheapest addition to any build.
