Kinman Says:

Dog Ear covers are not available in the required 53mm Pole Spread since you indicated the bridge saddle spread is greater than 53.5mm.

To include a KHP-90 harness after this order is added to the CART please swap to a PC and log-in and navigate to the Harness section and click Gibson type harness and ADD TO CART. Or send a separate order from the PC site.

You indicated bridge saddle spread of greater than 53mm which requires pickup pole spread of 53mm for optimum string-over-magnet alignment. However Dog-Ear covers are not available in 53mm so here are your options ..

1. Check your bridge saddle spread and change your selection on the first tab if wrongly entered.

2. Try to buy Dog-Ear covers without holes and drill them to 53mm. Search Ebay and other vendors for undrilled covers.

3. Dog-Ear covers can not be included as the order stands however you can still proceed with the order.

Saddle Spread

Saddle Spread (Very Important):

It is very important you indicate the correct bridge because the website will allocate the pole spread for this pickup according to the bridge saddle spread you click. This will assure satisfactory alignment of the poles and strings, resulting in good string loudness balance.

Strat VINTAGE 6 point

Metal Dog-Ear covers are not available for 53mm pickup pole spread however plastic covers without holes that can be drilled to suit any pickup are available on eBay,,, Search "Dog-Ear covers no holes".

Mounting Plate

Modern soapbar Gibson's have a magnetic mounting plate on the floor of the pickup cavities. This must be replaced with our non-magnetic plate in order not to comprise beyond excellent hum cancelling of our P-90 Hx. This kit included everything you need and is easily swapped. Should your Gibson not have a mounting plate then do not include this kit, so if you are not certain please take a peek under a pickup.

Remove one mounting screw (not both) and look at the thread form. If it is a fine thread form like shown for the two long screws top left of the picture of the mounting plate kit then it's a sure thing you have the steel mounting plate. However, if the thread form is coarse, more like the two shorter screws on the right side of the picture then we would think you do not have a metal mounting plate. To be absolutely certain you should loosen the strings, remove both mounting screws and take the pickup out of it's cavity and check the floor of the cavity (no need to disconnect any wiring to do this).

New build guitars will also benefit with this plate since it provides an easy and accurate way to position mounting screws for Soapbar pickups, and provide smooth and easy height adjustment.

Bracket

Are these pickups are for a Gibson ES175, Epiphone Casino or other hollow body f-hole guitar with Dog-Ear covers? These will need a Kinman Dog-Ear cover Mounting Bracket for each pickup

Yes

NOTE 1: Some Epiphones such as the Casino "Coupe" have a routed neck pickup cavity which does not require a bracket but the bridge still does, check the cavities before proceeding. Take the pickups out of other brand guitars to see if a bracket is required for each pickup too.

NOTE 2: For other brands of f-hole guitars check the 'Install requirements' file to see if the Mounting Bracket will fit.
