I picked up my Strat for the first time in a while this weekend and noticed that it's nearly dead quiet through my rig, whereas my Les Paul has a pretty high noise level. The Strat has a JB in the bridge, and even with its volume all the way up, there's very little noise. The Les Paul has a WLH set, and with the volume pot all the way down, it's still got a fairly high noise floor. The amp sounds almost the same with the LP as it does without any cable plugged in.
Does this indicate a shielding issue in the Les Paul? The control cavity is bare wood, and the cover doesn't have any shielding on it either. If not, I need to return the aluminum tape I bought at Home Depot this afternoon.
