P-90 Dogear Casino

Product Details

Our P-90 Dogear Casino pickup set makes it easy to order our recommended pickups for Epiphone® Casino guitars. The set includes our Low Wind neck pickup and Standard Wind bridge pickup with nickel covers for a classic look. This pairing is ideal for an authentic vintage Casino sound, with the Low Wind neck adding a little more brightness for improved clarity and definition. The neck pickup is medium height/narrow pole spacing, and the bridge is tall height/wide pole spacing.

Please note: This set includes the most common height and spacing for Casinos, but we always suggest measuring the height and spacing of your stock pickups to verify before ordering, as there can be variation in the neck set angle on these instruments.

Pickups can be purchased as a set or individually.

Avg. DC: Neck 7.7K, Bridge 9.1K

Frequently Asked Questions

What values of potentiometers and capacitors do you recommend for P-90 pickups?
The most common/traditional choices are 500k pots (both volume and tone) and .022μF caps—and these are the values we typically recommend. That said, there are no hard and fast rules. You can read more about how different pot and cap values affect tone in this two-part blog post: Part I - Pots, Part II - Caps.

How far from my strings should I set my P-90 pickups?
With two exceptions—our P-90 Staple and Alnico Pole P-90—all of our P-90s have adjustable poles. Your poles should be adjusted so they are as close as possible to the strings without actually touching them. We recommend starting with a 1/8” gap between the top of your pickup’s poles and the bottom of the strings and slowly reduce the distance. Be sure to check that the strings don’t hit the poles when you’re playing or muting the strings with the palm of your hand, and that there is clearance when you’re fretting high up the neck.

Do you make noiseless P-90s?
We do not offer a noiseless P-90 dogear pickup. However, our DC-90 is a hum-cancelling soapbar pickup that was inspired by our P-90's tone.

Do you offer a third wire on P-90s—like you do on your Tele neck pickups—for series/parallel or in/out of phase switching?
We can do a jacketed two-conductor wire with P-90s that will allow you to take advantage of in/out of phase or series/parallel wiring for a small per-pickup upcharge—contact us for pricing and details.

Do you offer F-spaced P-90s?
All of our Soapbar P-90 bridge pickups are available as F-spaced, except for our P-90 Staple. As the strings taper from the bridge toward the nut, there is no need for F-spaced neck pickups.

Can you explain the difference between the 50s Wind and Low/Standard/High Wind P-90s?
The Low/Standard/High Wind P-90s are variations on the same pickup. They use the same types of magnets and wire. They’re built the same way but with fewer turns in the case of the Low Wind and more turns for the High Wind.

The 50s Wind uses Alnico 2 magnets. Our Low/Standard/High Wind P-90 uses Alnico 5 magnets. The 50s Wind is a brighter, with more chime. The Low/Standard/High Winds are more midrange-forward, with more of the characteristic growl that players tend to associate with P-90s.
