GibsonP-90/P-100 Pickup Soapbar Cover Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement soapbar cover for Gibson P-90 and P-100 pickups, in black. For repairing a cracked cover or changing the look of an existing pickup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a chipped or yellowed cover on a P-90
- Switching a cream or chrome soapbar to black
- Keeping a spare on hand for gigging Les Paul Juniors
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Humbuckers, mini-humbuckers, or single-coil Strat/Tele pickups
- Anyone wanting a tone change — a cover does not alter sound
- Players unwilling to unsolder or lift the pickup to fit it
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
Fits P-90 and P-100
The P-100 is a stacked version in the same housing size, so one cover serves both.
Detail 03
Black finish
Hides the pole screws less than cream does, and shows dust and pick scratches more.
Detail 04
Cover only
You are buying plastic. The coil, magnets, baseplate, and wiring stay whatever you already have.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Cover only — no pickup, no mounting screws, no springs or foam included
- 02Measure your existing cover; dog-ear P-90s use a different shape than soapbars
- 03Fitting means removing strings and usually loosening the pickup from the body
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this change my tone?
No. A pickup cover is a plastic shell over the coil. Swapping it is cosmetic only.
02Does it fit a dog-ear P-90?
No. This is the soapbar shape — a plain rectangle. Dog-ear covers have the flared mounting tabs on each end and are not interchangeable.
03Will it fit non-Gibson P-90 pickups?
Many aftermarket P-90s follow Gibson's soapbar dimensions, but tolerances vary by maker. Measure your current cover against the pickup before ordering.
04Do I need to solder anything?
Usually not. The cover lifts off once the pickup is unmounted, but you may need slack in the lead wire to raise the pickup out of the route.
