Shielding cans on 1967 ES guitars

[neuroy]

Just a quick question.
Is it possible that 1967 ES guitars had no shielding cans around the pots ?

Was the use of those cans stopped at any date ?
Thank you !

A nice gentleman on the forum answered my question :

Thank you very much .

I guess the first question when considering a shielding can (before 'when might they have existed') was how on earth would they have got them in there in the first place.......given the ES has no cavity access rout.

Another question to have thought about was if this supposed can is around the pots, and the pots are spanning the f hole, wasn't there an easy way to look into your guitar and see whether or not your guitar had such an item very easily visible without spending a whole heap of time posting to various forums.

Some years, some ES's had individual small cylindrical shielding cans for each individual pot.

You could see them through the F-holes, but I assume the OP's guitar doesn't have them and he was asking if it should have them.
