Finally, Pure Strat Tone Without the Buzz – In a Sleek, Modern Players Series Build
IMPORTANT: This single layer model is less commonly needed than the Dual Layer Strat BzzzzKill . (See How to Choose the right Model below)
The Single Layer Players Series BzzzzKill is designed for standard Strat-style guitars with traditional single-coil SSS 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.
As part of our Players Series, this model features a precision-formed PETG bobbin and contemporary rubber-jacket wiring—an efficient, durable construction designed for guitarists who choose buzz-free performance at a value price over the vintage-authentic materials and hand-built construction of the Custom Series.
Designed For
-
Strat-style SSS guitars without a reverse-wound middle pickup

Guitars that buzz in all five selector positions
-
Players who want pure single-coil Strat tone without hum

The BzzzzKill Difference
Most hum-reduction methods force compromises. Noiseless pickups change your voice. Noise gates interfere with sustain and feel. Shielding only goes so far.
The Players Series Stratocaster Single BzzzzKill targets hum at its source using a clean, modern construction approach. It dramatically reduces noise in all selector positions while keeping installation simple and leaving your tone and guitar intact.
It’s a practical, purpose-built solution for players who want clean single-coil performance, without the vintage-style componentry of the Custom Series.
How to Choose the Right Model
Use this simple selector switch test:
-
If your Stratocaster buzzes in all five selector positions, the Players Series Stratocaster Single is the right solution.
(Go ahead and add it to your cart.) -
If positions 2 and 4 are quieter while positions 1, 3, and 5 buzz, your guitar has a reverse-wound middle pickup and you need the Dual Layer Strat BzzzzKill instead.
