BzzzzKill Expands to Telecaster, Solving a Long-Standing Buzz Problem

BzzzzKill Expands to Telecaster, Solving a Long-Standing Buzz Problem

BzzzzKill today announced the launch of its long-anticipated hum-reduction solution for Telecaster-style guitars. Available now in Single and Dual configurations, the new Players Series Telecaster models deliver buzz-free single-coil performance for one of the most iconic — and notoriously noisy — guitar designs ever created.



Since their introduction in the early 1950s, Telecasters have been known for clarity, snap, and responsiveness — along with persistent 60-cycle hum (50Hz in UK/EU). Until now, there has never been a viable dummy-coil solution engineered specifically for Telecaster wiring configurations, particularly models equipped with reverse-wound, reverse-polarity (RWRP) neck pickups.

The new Telecaster lineup includes:

  • Single model for Telecasters that buzz in all selector positions (non-RWRP wiring)
  • Dual model engineered to complete the partial hum-cancelling systems found in RWRP Telecasters

Both versions operate passively, require no batteries or external power, and install invisibly inside the guitar’s control cavity without drilling or permanent modification.

Like the recently launched Players Series for Stratocasters, the Telecaster models feature a modern, precision-formed PETG structure and durable rubber-jacket wiring. Each unit is carefully engineered for a precise fit within the famously restrictive Telecaster control cavity — a design challenge that required extensive development and refinement.

Priced at US $99, the Players Series Telecaster models bring engineered noise reduction to a broader audience while preserving the guitar’s authentic tone, dynamics, and value.

Expanding the BzzzzKill Platform
With Telecaster now added to the lineup, BzzzzKill continues to broaden its engineered hum-reduction architecture across the most popular single-coil formats. Versions for Jazz Bass and Gibson-style P-90 guitars are currently in development and will be announced soon.
