Do Gibson P90 fit into Epi Casino?

[qq22]

I want to drop in a pair of Gibson P90 dog ear pickups into my 2018 Epiphone Casino Coupe. I will adjust the heights with Lollar shims.

Are they expected to fit?

Yes, shouldn't be a problem.

+1. Should be a direct replacement.

A Casino uses Metal Dog Ear covers. A Gibson typically uses Plastic. You may want to swap them over to metal covers for better shielding.

 

The bottom plates for Plastic Dog Ear covers are different.

The round holes may not properly align with the metal casino covers which have split openings and are soldered to the top cover to eliminate hum. You may need to finagle them into place bending the tabs for a good alignment or you can even cut the holes with a V shape so they can be properly soldered into place and not cover the mounting holes.

Or you could just buy new bottom covers to solder them in place.
