Finally, Pure Tone Without the Buzz

IMPORTANT: This model is much less commonly needed than the Dual Layer BzzzzKill. (See How to Choose the right Model below)

The Single Layer BzzzzKill is designed for standard Strat-style guitars with traditional single-coil pickups. It virtually eliminates the persistent 60-cycle hum (50Hz in UK/EU) that has plagued guitarists since 1954—without altering your guitar's authentic tone.

Designed For

  • Standard Strat-style guitars with traditional single-coil pickups
  • Guitars that buzz in ALL positions on the 5-way selector switch
  • Players who want the pure single-coil tone without the buzz
  • Vintage or modern guitars where preserving value is important

Key Benefits

VIRTUALLY ELIMINATES HUM

Experience dramatic noise reduction in all pickup positions, even at high gain settings

PRESERVES AUTHENTIC TONE

Maintains your pickups' original voice, dynamic response, and character

NON-INVASIVE INSTALLATION

No drilling or permanent modifications—preserves your guitar's value

WORKS IN ALL POSITIONS

Effective across all 5-way selector positions, unlike many alternatives

TRANSFERABLE BETWEEN GUITARS

Can be moved to another guitar if you sell or upgrade your instrument

The BzzzzKill Difference

Most hum-reduction solutions force you to compromise. Noiseless pickups alter your tone. Noise gates cut your sustain. Copper shielding helps but isn't enough.

BzzzzKill is different—it targets the problem directly while leaving your tone intact and your guitar's value preserved.

How to Choose the Right Model

If you hear buzz in ALL positions on your 5-way pickup selector switch, this Single Layer BzzzzKill is right for you. (Hit Add to Cart above!)

BUT if positions 2 & 4 are quieter while positions 1, 3, and 5 buzz, you have a reverse-wound middle pickup and need the Dual Layer BzzzzKill instead.

FAQ

How does the Dual Layer model differ from the Single Layer?

Both models virtually eliminate hum and preserve your tone—the difference is which pickup configuration your guitar has.

If your guitar buzzes in ALL positions (1-5), choose the Single LayerIf positions 2 & 4 are quiet but positions 1, 3, & 5 buzz, choose the Dual Layer (this applies to most recent Fender Stratocasters® and S-Style guitars with reverse-wound middle pickups).

Simply test your guitar in all five pickup positions—the buzzing pattern tells you exactly which model you need.

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 installation any different than the Dual Layer model?

The installation process is similar but not identical due to the different configuration needed for reverse-wound pickups. We provide specific instructions for Single Layer installation in our guide.
