From a post on the CLF Research facebook page:
The mad scientist Brother John is experimenting again. What if a Z-coil had 1970s quarter-inch Sabre/Stingray guitar magnets?
Step 1: fabricate the bobbin. Step 2: estimate the number of coil turns. Step 3: bring to life and laugh maniacally

That, my friend, is the kind of tinkering that I love to see.
I expect fewer windings (with thicker wire?) and a lower seat should translate to even cleaner tone.
You must let us know how these turn out.

Weird Science Brother John’s pickup is installed and ready for testing.

Just tell us when they be on the skunkworks super double secret ASAT "ZABRE" or "ZINGRAY"!
Or at least when they will be on the online store.
Looking for sound clips and more pics...

I don't know anything about the properties of the Sabre/Stingray pole pieces, but the spirit of experimentation is way cool! Looking forward to the next updates.
