This part is not directly visible, but we are looking for the first Shinroku shield plate made in Japan, so we will use the shield that has been written for a long time. When wiring, a separate terminal is provided and soldered so as not to deteriorate the performance of the barrier pull register. Maintenance is also easy. The guitar needs a wiring shield that is so elaborate.
