G&L's Comanche is an example of a guitar using these pickups. I'm not sure if G&L use these pickups on any other strat-like guitar. As for a tele-like guitar they are used on the G&L ASAT Z3. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gl-asat-z3-figured-maple-top-guitar

The Z coil pickups are supposed to be Leo Fender's last work. If you've owned, played or heard these pickups enough to explain their sound and any difference compared to traditional/classic single coil pickups, I would appreciate your sharing your opinions and experiences.

I've also noticed the G&L guitars don't seem to float in price as high or near many of the Fender guitars, and I was wondering is it just because they are not from the Custom Shop and relic'd or are there other hardware reasons?

Thanks so much!

New big fan of the ASAT. Think the price thing is a made in Asia and standard pickups are really substandard in many. Would put my ASAT up against any Fender Telecaster in every aspect any time any where.

Any experience or knowledge of the Comanche and Leo's latest pickup design?
