Custom Partscaster - Roland Janes/Reggie Young Mod
Korean Strat
Mighty Mite Pickups / CTS Pots
Roland Janes, noted rockabilly guitarist and part of the house band at Sun Studios in Memphis, and session guitarist extraordinaire Reggie Young both used this wiring change to gain maximum tonal flexibility from their Strats.
This Mod reconfigures the Strat’s 3-way pickup selector in this way:
Position 1 - Bridge
Position 2 - Bridge and Neck
Position 3 - Neck
The first knob controls the volume for the bridge and neck pickups.
The middle knob controls the volume for the middle pickup.
The third knob becomes a master tone control over all three pickups.
