I recently traded my Hohner HFM-100 for a Gretsch G9350. About the same cost and quality, but the Gretsch had a pick up, which sounds fine through my Peavey Vypyr. Better sustain for Celtic music too.
I hated to let the Hohner go. It's a way better build than most will allow it, especially after it was played in, but I already had a custom f-hole, f-style...
Anyone else trade up/down lately?

Is that the F style with the Oval hole? I've been wanting to try one. I have a Gretsch banjo and have tried a few of the other Gretsch "roots" series instruments and found them all to be surprisingly good. I think you may have traded up : )

Hey there. Sorry for the long delay. I have gotten back to all things mando lately, including playing and visiting here.
That is the very same one, based on the old Gibson F4 type with the X-bracing. I liked the Hohner, but the Fishman pick up on this new Gretsch was the dealmaker. It sounds good, running straight through a Peavey Vypyr 150.
