| I just got one of these a few days ago, and raised the string height to 7/64 by a truss rod adjustment. My question: is the Lollar p-90 height fixed? I can't seem to find an obvious way to raise it. Thanks in advance. |

Dog-ear P90's are fixed... raise the pole-pieces for more height. Soap-bar P90's are floated on foam rubber... loosen the two middle screws and the pickup should rise. You may have to wiggle if the pickup is stuck, sometimes they fit tightly.

SC,
Check my above link. Jason has shims for "Dog-eared" pups.

| ResoLectrics use soapbars, not dogears and 'normally' there is dense foam or some sort or shim under the pickup. Try loosening the two hold-down screws and see if it doesn't raise up on it's own. If not you can add a piece of door seal foam or wood block under it. |

| I did loosen the two screws and tried to raise it up but didn't seem to budge. The pickup sounds fine as it is, and since I'm still just in the first few days of playing an electric resonator, I'm hesitant at this pint to take things apart. I think I'll live with it for a few more weeks before reassessing the situation. It is an amazing instrument and I'm just scratching the surface of what this thing can do. Thanks for the helpful information! |

I've never found P-90s to be extremely height sensitive so unless you raised the action a lot you'll probably be OK. You can always raise the pole-piece screws a bit and see what that gets you.
Those are way cool tone machines, I'm sure you'll have a blast with it. |
