Therefore, we recommend taking a quick measurement-at the pickup positions-from the body to the strings. While our Dogear pickups are a fixed height, the neck angle and bridge height can vary on each guitar. However, if your action is very low-or you want to lower your action-you may need the Short Neck and Medium/Wide Bridge pickups, as well as shims for height adjustments. In most cases our Medium/Narrow Neck and Tall Bridge Dogear P-90s work for Casinos and Wildkats (see above chart). The Epiphone Casino (also the Wildkat) is a 'whole different animal' although it looks a lot like a standard dogear set. It's cut out of 1/32' thick material and it hides any trace of the original humbucker mounting. The oversized shim spans the extra width of the humbucker route and adds an extra distance of 3/32' all the way around. Shim packs include two “oversized” shim for use when installing Dogear style pickups into a guitar that has been routed for a humbucker-sized pickup.
Our shim packs include six commonly used thicknesses and shims can be stacked to achieve a variety of heights. We sell shims to help you adjust your Dogear pickup to the optimal height.
