Undrilled P90 soapbar pickup cover??

Post by Hollowpoint »

This is a bit of a hail Mary but just wondered if anyone might know where I could find a blank undrilled non-dogear P90 soapbar pickup cover?
I'm really after a white one but realise that could be a very tall order so will have to make do with painting a black or cream one I imagine.

Cheers!

I was looking for them as well. This is all I could find:

Let me know if you see some P90 ones. I may have to go for the humbucker or mini HB covers without holes.

You could buy a 3D printer and make them yourselves :winky:

I have managed to find a couple:

I will probably go for the ebay ones if I can't find any others in my searches today. I read on a forum that TV Jones is a bit unreliable (no idea if that's true though). Seems strange that there are so many blank dog-eared options and so few soapbars.

Yes, I noticed that too. The price is way too high for the 2 links you posted. I bet they get them from China anyway.

What if you get the dog ears and just saw off the ears? Would that not work?

Keep on looking on alibaba

The problem with that is that the dog ears depth is only about 10mm. The soapbars are around 16-17mm
