Dogear

Choosing the correct size Dogear P-90 pickup for your guitar can be challenging. Once installed, they are not height adjustable so it’s important to accurately measure your current pickup/cover in order to select the correct size replacement pickup.

Our Dogear P-90s (all versions) are available in four sizes. To determine the size you need, measure your guitar’s current pickup cover and compare it to the measurements in the chart below. NOTE: Pole spacing is measured on-center, between the two outside poles.

Use the sizing chart below to determine the correct size Dogear to order:

We sell shims to help you adjust your Dogear pickup to the optimal height. Our shim packs include six commonly used thicknesses and shims can be stacked to achieve a variety of heights. Shim packs include two “oversized” shim for use when installing Dogear style pickups into a guitar that has been routed for a humbucker-sized pickup. The oversized shim spans the extra width of the humbucker route and adds an extra distance of 3/32" all the way around. It's cut out of 1/32" thick material and it hides any trace of the original humbucker mounting.

Casino & Wildkat

The Epiphone Casino (also the Wildkat) is a "whole different animal" although it looks a lot like a standard dogear set. We STRONGLY recommend you read this entire section and also watch the video below to determine the correct size of dogears to order for your Casino.

In most cases our Medium/Narrow Neck and Tall Bridge Dogear P-90s work for Casinos and Wildkats (see above chart). However, if your action is very low—or you want to lower your action—you may need the Short Neck and Medium/Wide Bridge pickups, as well as shims for height adjustments.

While our Dogear pickups are a fixed height, the neck angle and bridge height can vary on each guitar. Therefore, we recommend taking a quick measurement—at the pickup positions—from the body to the strings. You will want to have about 1/8” clearance (with strings fretted at the last fret) from the top of the pickup to the strings.

If you want to use the plastic covers included with your Lollar P-90 pickup, you can simply take measurements and order the set that fits best.
