Complete Hum and Buzz Reduction for RWRP Stratocasters – In a Sleek, Modern Players Series Build
The BzzzzKill Players 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 Strat tone, feel, and dynamic response players expect.
As part of our Players Series, this model uses a precision-formed one-piece PETG bobbin and durable rubber-jacket wiring for a streamlined, contemporary build. It’s designed for guitarists who want proven BzzzzKill performance in a rugged, modern construction at a value price—without the vintage-specific materials and hand-built construction of the Custom Series.
Designed For
-
Strat-style SSS guitars with a reverse-wound middle pickup (RWRP)
-
Guitars that are quiet in positions 2 and 4, but buzz in positions 1, 3, and 5
-
Players demanding reliable, professional-quality noise reduction
-
Studio and performing musicians who need clean signal without tone loss

The BzzzzKill Difference
Other hum-reduction solutions for RWRP Stratocasters stop disappointingly short. While positions 2 and 4 cancel hum naturally, there has never been a true dual-layer dummy-coil solution designed to work alongside that wiring. Existing options either ignore the RWRP system entirely or introduce tone changes and complexity.
The Players Series Stratocaster Dual BzzzzKill fills that gap. It completes the hum-cancelling system your RWRP middle pickup started, delivering consistent noise reduction in all five positions – without invasive mods and without changing the character of your pickups.

FAQ
How does the Dual Layer model differ from the Single Layer?
The Dual Layer BzzzzKill is specifically designed to work with guitars that have a reverse-wound middle pickup. These guitars already have some noise-cancelling capability in positions 2 & 4, and our Dual Layer technology complements this to provide noise reduction across all positions.
Will the BzzzzKill affect my guitar's tone?
No. BzzzzKill is specifically designed to reduce noise while preserving the authentic single-coil tone your guitar is known for.
Will this work with aftermarket pickups?
Yes, as long as your guitar has a reverse-wound middle pickup configuration. If you're unsure, perform the simple test above or contact us.
How difficult is installation?
Installation requires soldering skills and comfort working with electronics. If you own a soldering iron and have experience with these tasks, you can install it yourself following our detailed instructions. However, we don't recommend learning to solder on your valuable instrument. For most players, we recommend having a qualified luthier or guitar tech handle the installation, which is a quick and simple task for a professional.
Is this a permanent modification?
No. BzzzzKill installs without any permanent modifications to your guitar. It can be removed at any time, leaving your instrument in its original condition.
Professional sound, predictable results.
STAGE & STUDIO READY
Stop repositioning to avoid buzz zones. No more dodging stage lights or dealing with venue electrical gremlins! BzzzzKill keeps your tone clean no matter where you move. Finally, focus on your performance instead of fighting interference.
Every position. Any level. Every song.
WORKS IN ALL POSITIONS
Unlike hum-reduction solutions that only work in certain pickup combinations, BzzzzKill delivers consistent noise reduction across all five selector switch positions.
Whether you're playing the bright bridge pickup (position 1), the warm neck pickup (position 5), or any combination in between, BzzzzKill lets you focus on your music.
