Which P-90 should I buy to install in my tele in the neck position, the dogear or the soapbar?

Location: Scotland | Either will work but the Soapbar P90 rather than the dog-ear will look better if you are using the existing pickguard. Also I'd agree with Al about string clearance, the dog-ear version has limited hieght adjustment (overall pickup height, not the pole-pieces) |

Replacing a singlecoil with a humbucker would mean more routing than replacing it with a p90. Besides, I don't like the look of fenders with humbucking pups, but that's just a matter of taste.
