Dogear to humbucker conversion? Any thoughts ?

[rmcfee]

Any thoughts other than "why waste your time frigging around" I mean.

I see that a humbucker mounting ring is not quite big enough to cover the dogear hole that is cut in the Casinos top.

A humbucker would fit fine otherwise. Is a larger mounting ring available? Perhaps one designed for this kind of conversion? Thanks .

DImarzio makes P-90 sized superdistortion and other models.

I believe seymour duncan makes P-90 sized buckers also.

Another option would be to adapt a P-90 shell to take a minihumbucker.

 

Otherwise Seymour Duncan makes custom humbuckers to order in P90 shells. Dimarzio has a series of humbucking pickups in a P90 profile although the pictures are not dog ears. Other than that, the custom shops might do it.

 

Here is a thread where this is discussed. I assume that these have to be custom made but should not be that difficult:

Here is a picture of one that someone did:

Thanks guys. I probably won't go to the expense of a custom job but it is fun to think about stuff like this.
