I think the Custom P-90 comes with dog ears as does the Antiquity.
i wonder if it is worth the swap?(with the antiquity 11034-66) i need to find out how good the stock pup is in the les paul jr........
 
Re: new pup for a les paul jr...

I own both a Les Paul Junior and the Vintage Soapbar Bridge. First off, the stock pickup in the Junior is very nice. It's basically your classic p-90. Very articulate. It provides great rock crunch and is very balanced. It can do really nice, full clean sounds. I find that the balance lends to an almost piano-like quality to clean sounds. The Vintage Soapbar is basically more of the same thing. It is a touch hotter with more raw and gutsy midrange than the stock Gibson, but not much different. It's a tad more compressed and not quite as open. It uses an alnico 5, just like the stock Gibson. The antiquity uses an alnico 2, and (although I haven't tried one) it's supposed to have a softer attack, less high end definition, but a sweeter, more complex tone.

All the stock Gibson P90's I've heard have been really good. The Vintage P90's from SD are cool too, but are a different flavor. If you need a hotter sound, go for the Custom. If you want to see what you'r stock pickups will sound like in 50 years, go for the Antiquity. :burnout:
