My kneejerk reaction was 'no', but after a moment's consideration, I quite like them.

I was gonna say no but actually it's a good blank canvas if you want to stick some other pickup in a dogear p90 guitar.

Thanks Hotrodimus.

Soapbar Robroes could look cool, but dogears just look weird.

I was thinking this at first too but if they were soapbars they couldn't be TRUE robroe as they'd need 2 screws on the top to mount the pickup to the guitar, which would ruin the clean look.

They remind me of the Tele Elite which is no bad thing to be reminded of.

just my opinion but, I think uncovered humbuckers are terribly ubiquitous and boring. whenever I see a guitar with uncovered black humbuckers, I just think "borrrrinnnggg." you need to do something to them to mix it up. well, unless they're in a guitar they don't usually come standard in, like a jag or tele. I love the crowded busy look of a jag with humbuckers. In that case it's just so wrong it's right.
