The Ultimate Solution for Reverse-Wound Middle Pickups
The Dual Layer BzzzzKill is specifically engineered for Strat-style guitars with a reverse-wound middle pickup—also known as Reverse Wound Reverse Polarity (RWRP) Stratocasters. It virtually eliminates the persistent 60-cycle hum (50Hz in UK/EU) across all pickup positions—including the traditionally quieter positions 2 & 4—while preserving the authentic tone that made your guitar legendary.
Designed For
Strat-style single-coil SSS guitars with a reverse-wound middle pickup (including the vast majority of Fender Stratocasters® made in recent years)
Guitars that are quiet in positions 2 & 4, but buzz in positions 1, 3, and 5
Players demanding professional-quality noise reduction across all pickup settings
Studio and performing musicians who need pristine signal quality
Key Benefits
COMPLETE NOISE SOLUTION

The BzzzzKill Difference
Most hum-reduction solutions for reverse-wound pickup guitars are incomplete. Having quiet positions 2 & 4 is great, but positions 1, 3, and 5 still buzz—forcing you to avoid these positions or compromise your tone.
The Dual Layer BzzzzKill completes what your reverse-wound pickup started, delivering virtually noise-free operation across all positions while leaving your tone intact and your guitar's value preserved.
How to Choose the Right Model
If positions 2 & 4 on your 5-way pickup selector switch are quiet while positions 1, 3, and 5 buzz, this Dual Layer BzzzzKill is right for you. This is the case for the vast majority of Fender Stratocasters® manufactured in recent years, which come standard with a reverse-wound middle pickup. (Hit Add to Cart above!)
BUT if you hear buzz in ALL pickup selector switch positions, the Single Layer BzzzzKill is your solution.
