Does anyone know of a Bob Hoffman --- he used to manufacture pickups [humbuckers with adjustable setscrew polepieces [on the east coast I believe] --- would appreciate any info, thanks.

That would be me. I’m not making pickups anymore. There are some great pickup builders out there though. Feel free to get in touch.

Hello Bob,
I had a p/up made by you --- I damaged it [not repairable] --- loved that thing, but now I cannot find a replacement that will fit into my 25 year old Carter. I need a 10 string humbucker with adjustable pole pieces.
I have a Bill Lawrence --- have adjusted the pole pieces, but I am getting harmonic overtones on the top 5 plain strings [extremely pronounced on the .012 and .014 strings] --- any idea's.
I would pay a premium if I could find one of yours that would fit, Thnx.
