    Wondering if anyone is aware of a potential solution to this.

    I always wanted an ES-330, love the form factor, but just don't get along with the P90s or any other single coil. The noise is fine, it's the tone that is not my thing.

    I know some makers have humbucking pickups for dog-ear mount, but the ones that I know of only make the taller ones that would only fit in the bridge position.

    I had the same problem with my Godin Kingpin, ended up getting an humbucker in P90 format for Creamery Pickups (UK). Loved the sound (don't have the guitar anymore, for other reasons), much better than the stock P90.

    Thanks jorgemg1984!

    As it happens I am aware of Creamery, but unfortunately they explicitly say that their pickup won't fit into a 330/Casino neck position.

    I know this doesn’t solve the dilemma with the 330 but the es-390 looks pretty interesting. Fully hollow with mini humbukers. A little smaller body but me likes!
