The Complete Hum and Buzz Solution for RWRP Stratocasters
The BzzzzKill Custom Series Stratocaster Dual is purpose-built for Strat-style guitars with a reverse-wound, reverse-polarity (RWRP) middle pickup. In these guitars, positions 2 and 4 on the selector switch are already hum-cancelling—but positions 1, 3, and 5 are not.
This Dual Layer BzzzzKill completes that system.
It eliminates the remaining single-coil hum in the neck-only, middle-only, and bridge-only positions, delivering consistent noise reduction across all five selector positions while preserving the authentic tone, feel, and dynamic response that made the Stratocaster legendary.
Leading our Custom Series, this model is built with vintage-authentic materials and hand-assembled construction that mirrors classic Strat-era componentry. It’s the version chosen by custom guitar builders, touring professionals, and players who want traditional craftsmanship inside their instrument—along with uncompromising buzz-free performance.

The BzzzzKill Difference
While RWRP wiring provides hum cancellation in positions 2 and 4, there has never been an effective dummy-coil solution that works with this configuration. Existing approaches either ignore the RWRP middle pickup entirely or interfere with the guitar’s natural noise-cancelling behavior … leaving players stuck with buzz in positions 1, 3, and 5.
The Custom Series Stratocaster Dual BzzzzKill completes the job your RWRP middle pickup started. Built with vulcanized fibre flatwork, steel rod construction, and hand-assembled craftsmanship, it delivers virtually noise-free operation across all selector positions while preserving the feel, tone, and value your guitar was designed for.
It’s why this is the model trusted by boutique builders and discerning recording artists.
