Re: P-90 Dog Ear Humbucker....wrong size and doesn't fit.
Philco, can you post a profile pic of the original P-90 and the one the Custom Shop made up?
I think my 225TD has a1/8" spacer under the neck pickup, and a significantly higher riser for the bridge.
While it is possible the Custom Shop goofed (didn't bend the bottom plate to the right height), they will make it right - as far as making it to the right spec.
However, if the pickup is made to correct P-90 dimensions, then it falls on you and the tech to make it work. Their only responsibility is making the pickup.
My apologies if my "should be vintage correct" came across as a scolding. It's your instrument. I just get grumpy when I see old vintage boxes stripped of their parts, and pieced out on eBay. 90% of the reason someone buys that old box is because of the Old Sound - much easier to get when you've got all the correct parts on it. *grin*
My 225TD was the victim of someone's "This old thing would sound SOOO much better with a DiMarzio PAF in the bridge!" halfassery. Luckily, very little permanent damage was done.
