My daughter will instruct in the use of photobucket so my 'Tale of two Teles' can unfold in brutally bare visual..er..splendour.

I have tooled around "Guitar Nuts' ( http://www.guitarnuts.com/index.php ) & got the shielding info but I have a question and couldn't find a link or Email address. Also I expect a number of contributors here might know...

The control and pickup cavities are shielded with copper foil but on the back of the scratchplate aluminium foil is glued on.

Why wouldn't copper foil be used there as well? Is it a cost consideration?
Wouldn't two different metals in contact produce some sort of potential difference? If so is it neglible?

I just can't see why the copper foil wouldn't be used everywhere.

Any suggestions?
