Yes. Just make sure that you use a pickguard made for a US Legacy HSS if your Comanche is the US model. If it is a Tribute Series model, then use a made for Tribute
Series Legacy HB pickguard.

Hope this helps.

Hey diddly, did you ever get around to doing this? Did it work out OK?

I've often thought about swapping out the Z-Coils in my Comanche with some regular single coils/humbucker.

Would love to hear about it if you did it.

I didn't actually.Although i may yet.I picked up a different guitar with HSS config and left modding the comanche for now.Its just a fair amount of cash to throw at it,without a certainty itll work.Mostly cos of the cost of getting a scratch plate.Adds a fair amount on top due to international shipping etc.Id love to know if somebody else has done it.Great guitars but those pickups can really be an acquired taste.
