Dogear P90 Shims

The shims worked perfectly! Thank you!

.100 shim under the bridge cover worked perfectly. After following the pickup height adjustment directions, an old (‘68) ES 330 has been unleashed! What a great sound!

Spacer worked perfectly on my Gibson Les Paul Junior that had a large gap on the dog ear P-90. I had questions first so I called and spoke with Lindy, such a nice guy , what a great help he was helping me figure out what size I needed. Thanks so much!!

Added a Fralin 0.0626 shim to my Dogear P90 in my Murphy lab junior. It’s perfect now! Made a huge difference. I’m surprised Gibson doesn’t do this from factory. Thanks Lindy!

It’s not the pickups – it’s the height adjustment!
Added these to a fifty year old ES125 CD (with a sunken top) and it really came to life! Pickups sounded fat and dynamic – just like new!
Ordered these for some dogear p90s that were mounted way too low on another guitar… That axe had been described as “good for blues”… That’s because the bridge pup had almost no output! A pair of Fralin shims later and that one opened up too! Full and round from the neck – and hot ‘n punchy from the bridge! Many styles to choose from now…
Lindy Fralin is your one stop p90 specialty shop! So many models and innovations to choose from! They manufacture, wind, and rewind pickups by hand here! The old fashioned way! They’ve got your back if you’re serious about guitar tone! Very modest prices for the level of specialty services, and attention to detail!

The .062″ shim worked and fit perfectly. Wonderful product!

The dog-ear pickup shims fit perfectly on my import P-90. I thought the $10 shipping, however, was excessive for a small item.

Fits perfectly.

Perfect fit, – and it really looks good as well; – if you have p90’s on your guitar I definitely recommend these shims

Built a LP jr kit which left a considerable gap between top of pickup and bottom of string. The 0.225” shim filled the gap, and looks like it is part of the base of the pickup. Nice!
Got it in two days, still had some fingernails left!

Does its job! The P-90 on my 6120EC needed a bit of a boost. The shim did the trick. Volume is much better.

Highly recommended

I’ve purchased the Dogear for my Gibson ES-330TD in further to a recommendation by the guitar setup technician who advised me to purchase it in order to adjust the pickup height and balance the volume between both pickups. It arrived super fast and did the job perfectly. I am really happy with it and recommend on this solution if you experience the same issue.

I bought a p90 dog ear shim for my 1949 es 350 bridge pu worked out so well I’m buying another for my rhythm pickup so I don’t have to have pole pieces so high !

Dogears for the ES-295
Now the ES-295 is balanced between front and back pickup, makes so much difference and looks great….mate this guitar howls now… Simon from Oz

Perfect fit

I installed the vintage P90 dog ears on my new Epiphone Les Paul Jr. The Epiphone neck sits high so I needed a shim to raise the height. I used the .100 shim and adjusted the individual poles. It fits perfectly and is basically invisible.

They worked great and brought the pick-ups where they needed to be on a casino with Seymour-Duncan Antiquity P-90s. Thanks, Lindy!

These shims saved my bacon
A customer brought in a Godin 5th Avenue which was in need of a neck reset. The problem was he had just purchased the guitar used and as-is. So no warranty. On top of that, the customer couldn’t afford a neck reset. With the geometry of the guitar out of whack, the action was high, but the bridge couldn’t be adjusted to compensate enough for the high action (it was nearly bottomed out). To further complicate this problem, even if I were able to adjust the action enough, the pickups for this guitar are Dogear P-90s w/ no height adjustment. The only way to get them to seat lower is to use a thinner set of shims than what the guitar was equipped with at the factory. After dealing with the bridge situation to get the adjustment I needed, it was Lindy Fralin to the rescue. I ordered the shims in all three sizes. With the varying sizes, I could mix and match as necessary to get the pickup height perfect. These little beauties fit the stock P-90s exactly and helped me solve my customer’s problem for a fraction of what it would have cost to do a proper neck reset. They are pricey but well worth it. I would not hesitate to order them again if needed. Thank you, Lindy Fralin,

These Fralin Dogear P-90 Shims at .062″ are really well made and fit under the P90 cover perfectly. These are not the oversize versions, but the matching cover-size. Love ’em!
