You want the dogears; they have U-shaped extensions off the baseplate which support them in hollow bodies.

 

I've put Gibson soapbars in chrome Epi dogear covers; the holes in the covers needed slight work with a round file so the screw poles on the new pickups would fit.

 

If you get new pickups get the dogear style, keeping in mind you'll have to do a little work on your current covers to get them to work.

The stock P90's in the Casino's are about the "best" Epiphone pickups you'll hear.

 

Before you go through all the trouble and $$, is there anywhere you could go and play one with American pups (Elitist)?

 

No two guitars are exaxtly alike with ALL the factors to take in, BUT, you may not notice too much difference yourself.
