GibsonP-90/P-100 Pickup Dog Ear Cover Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Black dog ear cover for Gibson P-90 and P-100 pickups. Replaces a cracked, faded or mismatched cover on a soapbar-alternative mount.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a chipped dog ear cover on a Les Paul Junior or ES
- Switching a cream cover to black for a darker look
- Restoring a pickup after a cover cracks at the mounting ears
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Soapbar P-90s — the mounting style is completely different
- Humbucker-equipped guitars, which use a different pickup format
- Anyone expecting a tone change — this is cosmetic
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
P-90 and P-100 fit
Both use the same cover footprint. The P-100 is a stacked design but shares the housing dimensions.
Detail 03
Black plastic
Hides dirt better than cream and does not yellow with age. Cream and aged white will look mismatched next to it.
Detail 04
Cover only
No pickup, no mounting screws, no pole piece hardware. The coil and baseplate stay yours.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fitting requires removing the pickup, which usually means desoldering the leads
- 02Check your pickup is dog ear, not soapbar, before ordering
- 03Pole piece screws stay with your existing pickup and pass through the cover holes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between dog ear and soapbar?
Dog ear has two flared mounting tabs that screw to the body. Soapbar is a plain rectangle mounted through the pickguard or body routing. They are not interchangeable.
02Will this fit a P-100?
Yes. The P-100 shares the P-90 housing dimensions, so the same dog ear cover fits.
03Does changing the cover affect the sound?
No. It is plastic and purely cosmetic. The coil, magnets and pole pieces do the work.
04Is the pickup included?
No. This is the cover alone, for a P-90 or P-100 you already own.
