I think it may be Artec/Guitar Fetish.
I have a Fret King DBC Eclat with a Wilkinson P90 & it is an absolutely marvellous sounding pickup.
Also Entwistle P90's, again, don't get too hung up on the highest price = best.
After all, its for an experiment
If you or your friend are handy with a soldering iron, it is possible to swap the coil and magnets of a soapbar replacement pickup onto the baseplate of the stock Epiphone dogear unit.
For what it is worth, if the pickup cavity is deep enough, it might be possible to squeeze a stacked coils Soapbar pickup under the existing dogear cover. Compressible foam at the bottom of the cavity would hold the pickup in position.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
The “Sharp” version for loud/brash ceramic magnet power. The “smooth” version for Alnico musicality. 9k/A2 should do nicely. Swapping one of the bar magnets to A5 would liven things up.
I should add, I've never tried either.

i have an old wilkinson p90 wound to 7.8k two correctly sized alnico magnets. So a fairly Vanilla p90.
I replaced it it with a Fralin which is clearer and more detailed but little to really choose between them so that era Wilkinson is a sensible budget alternative last time I looked I think they upped the winding we’re using shorter ceramic magnets and much less like a classic p90.
so worth digging into the specs as these things change I like Wilkinson stuff but it is sometimes these days of varying spec. If you want a hot p90 then it’s probably fine.
Again Entwhistle a while ago was using smaller neodymium in a lot of pickups now seems to be back to Alnico and ceramic

I want to try out the Irongear pickups, heard a couple of different people mention them now.
