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.

Gibson P-90/P-100 Pickup Dog Ear Cover Black construction detail

Detail 01

Dog ear mount

The mounting tabs sit on the body surface and screw down through the cover. Soapbar covers mount through the pickguard instead.

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

  1. 01Fitting requires removing the pickup, which usually means desoldering the leads
  2. 02Check your pickup is dog ear, not soapbar, before ordering
  3. 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.
