P-90 Pickup Cover

Great....a dogear cover! I ordered them to see if they covered a larger than intended P90 rout on a guitar I was building, a Les Paul Double cut from Precision.I wanted no gaps between wood and pick-up casing. Didn't like the look of them, because looked too 'added as an afterthought'

The cover was too high for use as a neck pick-up, ideal for the neck position. I like to mount P90's on a hard rubber pad, instead of suspending them in the Dogear mount. Each to his own sound. However, I am using them on my lap steel project, makes them 'ring' a bit more. Great covers though. Here's what I replaced them with......

New glossy replacement for a cheap Epiphone SG Junior to go with the new electronics and fittings all round.

These covers are exact reproductions in terms of dimensions and color of vintage Gibson P-90's. They fit every P-90 that I have that conforms to vintage Gibson 50 mm polepiece spacing. This includes an Epiphone reissue LP goldtop, contrary to the previous reviewer.

Of course they are not going to fit every aftermarket pickup out there, especially cheapo imports with wonky dimensions. Measure your E to E spacing to make sure.

The quality is great. The price is great and the delivery time is exceptional. The problem is the pole spacings are a little off from the Epiphone P90s I have on my Casino. I can't use them without modifying them. Another problem is the shipping costs more than the covers so sending them back is not cost effective.

I do not order this item very often, since the kits I order from StewMac already have covers. But they are the best quality, and when ordered separately (six at a time), they are the same price as the "cheaper" supply companies..pictured my pickups in a SOCO built custom guitar..thanks for using my pickups Bill and thanks for the great supplies, StewMac

If you have a GFS P90 these will NOT fit. I have a 64 Gibson ES125 and the spacing IS correct. The covers dont fit a 125 properly but that is a quirk of the ES125

Disregard the previous reviewer's one star comment. These are still the best P90 covers anyone sells except for Gibson, if you want the extra money for a Gibson product. These are 50mm pole spread which IS correct for all P90's vintage or modern. The only problem with them is the soap bar covers will not fit into Gibson guitars routed for P90's. Gibson's covers are more square cornered than these. So with the wider more rounded corner on these soap bars they can't fit into Gibson P90 cavities. For every other guitar they work fine and are very good quality. Gibson covers have a better cream cover than these but not really an issue unless you're trying to match a Gibson guitar's parts. They won't fit Epiphone P90 neck pickups, also, as Epiphone uses a weird non-vintage pole spacing, that no vintage P90's ever had...

These covers do not fit a true Gibson P-90 pickup.
They are the import size found on generic units, and poles do not line up with a Gibson pickup. Check this stuff before writing copy guys !
