Well, I bought this guitar on October 2001 and I smashed it in a gig in December 2002. It had 3 Tonante active single coils that looked like Fender Lace Sensor, 3 terribe tone and no volume or pickup selector! The locking tuners were never in tune even with a bad Floyd Rose! The top went out as quick as fingernails paint because it was made of wallpaint! The electronics were terrible and the hardware was all oxidized, even the frets! The bodystyle was like a Strato but it was ugly!The neck had 21 frets, the last one without indication and it was made of Maple, like the fretboard, but it was rude like a piece of sandpaper! The body was made of a bad wood, i don't know what wood it was, but when I smashed the guitar, it broke in so many parts. Te tuners didn't have even an armor! It went with some tools and I bought a gigbag case for it. Tonante sucks!
Sound

I used 20W Meteoro Atomic Drive amplifier and a multieffect Zoom 505 and a Tonante Starlight guitar to play some kind of music like Pantera and Sepultura. I still use the same amp, but with a Boss GT3 multieffect and a Washburn WG580 guitar, cause Washburn guitars are the most apropriate to play heavy metal in the world. Tonante's pickups were noisy and the sound was horrible and it used to make only one sound, because there wasn't a selector or a push-pull system!What a bad guitar!

When I bought the guitar, it was out of tune at all and the pickups were so much bad adjusted. The top was so much bad and the sound looked like the guitar was with a problem, but it wasn't and the hardware was oxidized and the bridge was without some parts.Starlight noisy Starlight!

The guitar was really bad and I smashed it in my 1st gig cause the bridge went out in the middle of a solo and I thought about how bad that guitar was and I smashed it. The finish was easy to get out and the buttons were bad. I used to depend on the pickups but thhey were so much noisy.Smash it!

I always called them to fix all the problems, but the guys were so much arrogant and always told me that the guitar was out of warranty, even on the day that I bought the guitar! This is for suckers!

I have been playing for 5 years and I own now Washburn. I asked if the guitar was good, because my bandmate said that it was bad and I bought because I didn't have money to buy another guitar, so I bought this one. But i got rich with the band and I smashed this and I bought a Korean Washburn, that is better than my friend's American Jackson! Washburn rules!
