Finally, Pure Telecaster Tone Without the Buzz – In a Sleek, Modern Players Series Build
The Single Players Series BzzzzKill for Telecasters is designed for Telecaster-style guitars with traditional single-coil pickups that buzz in all three selector switch positions. These guitars do not have a reverse-wound neck pickup and therefore have no inherent hum-cancelling position.
In these cases, a Single BzzzzKill provides the correct amount of hum reduction – dramatically lowering noise while fully preserving the unmistakable clarity, attack, and touch sensitivity Tele players rely on.
As part of our Players Series, this model uses a precision-formed PETG bobbin and durable rubber-jacket wiring – an efficient, modern construction for guitarists who want proven BzzzzKill performance at a value price, without the vintage-specific materials and hand-built construction of the Custom Series.

The BzzzzKill Difference
Most Telecaster noise fixes force uncomfortable tradeoffs. Shielding offers limited improvement. Pickup swaps often dull attack or alter character. Noise gates interfere with dynamics and feel.
The Players Series Single BzzzzKill for Telecasters targets hum at its source using a clean, modern construction approach. It reduces noise without touching your pickups, altering your wiring philosophy, or changing how your guitar responds.
It’s a practical solution for Tele players whose guitars have no built-in hum-cancelling position, and who want quieter performance while keeping everything that makes their instrument feel familiar and expressive.
How to Choose the Right Model
Use this simple selector switch test:
-
If your Telecaster buzzes in all three selector positions, the Single BzzzzKill for Telecasters is the right solution.
(Go ahead and add it to your cart.) -
If your Telecaster is quiet in position 2 but buzzes in positions 1 and 3, your guitar has a reverse-wound neck pickup and you must use the Dual BzzzzKill for Telecasters instead.
If your Tele has non-standard wiring (such as a 4-way switch mod or custom electronics), check the installation notes or contact our support team before ordering.
