Frequently asked questions
Can I use both pickups together?
Yes. The Dog Ear is reverse-wound/reverse-polarity specifically to cancel hum when paired with the bridge-position Soapbar equivalent, making them designed to work as a matched set.
What's the difference in mounting?
The Soapbar fits standard soapbar guitar routes, while the Dog Ear is designed for standard Gibson P-90 dog ear routes. Both are direct drop-in replacements for their respective positions.
Which has more output and compression?
The Soapbar features slightly compressed output optimized for bridge clarity, while the Dog Ear produces balanced output with controlled resonance for a smooth, singing response without excessive compression.
Are these suitable for metal or aggressive genres?
Neither pickup is ideal for metal, djent, or thrash metal. Both excel in blues, jazz, rock, and indie where vintage tone and smooth character are valued over high-output aggression.
