I did a quick search on P90 pickup covers and found these soap bars. Foolishly, I figured that fancy covers should also be available for dog ears as well. That may be incorrect. At least I can't find anything except the usual solid colors and chrome. I see a business opportunity for someone.

 

Truthfully, dog ears get no respect. They are a pain in ass to adjust- don't waste your time trying to argue on that point. They don't do anything a soap bar can't do. So maybe no one wants to dress them up.

 

They do look cool and work just fine. So I guess we just leave well enough alone.

 

 

Here's some tortoise shell to look at though.

At least you can shim a dog ear. How do you raise a soapbar? It has been said that the development of the humbucker included the height adjustment pickup surround system that is a major innovation as well. I agree on that.

Must be a trick question. There are two height adjustment screws on soap bars.

 

Check out this video at 5:00 mins.

 

That's the end of the hijack!

I'm looking for some locking studs for my H-137 to eliminate the dreaded bridge tilt. What brand did you use? I'm looking for as close to "plug and play" as I can get.
