Has anyone heard of the Brazilian Tonante guitars? I found this pic of one of their old models, called the Finder.

Looks pretty classy, are they vintage or new? It looks like a 60's esque Japanese or Italian effort.

That particular one is an earlier model, yet they still have a line of guitars currently. I tried their site but unfortunately it is in production. They have a wikipedia page [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonante]here

Torante, huh?

Funny, I found the name TORANTE stamped into the last Fender I bought on ebay!

It's a '59 Jag with a JUL 17 59 E stamp on the neck!

The seller said it was all ORIGNIAL...

I wonder if they do a Gebson model, or a Grotch.
I prefer their older stuff.
