Hi,
The z-coils look like MFD pickups that have been "twisted" to make them hum-canceling. They have adjustable pole pieces like the MFDs. Are they?
Are z-coils MFD?

Yes they are, see: List of pickups used in G&L guitars.themikeaustin wrote:Hi,

Also, see: Under the cover: Z-coil pickup.
Hope this helps.

Re: Are z-coils MFD?
I've seen some Comanche demos on YT that call them alnico pickups. I've posted a "correction" in the comments for some of the videos. Perhaps it's because ceramic pickups are considered by many "purists" to be inferior and by many salespersons to be a subtraction of value and, therefore, price.
