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.
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 professional-quality noise reduction across all pickup settings
-
Studio and performing musicians who need pristine signal quality without tone loss

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.

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.
