I imagine they are either genuine Grovers or Japanese Gotohs and, either way, that's good hardware. Most models are described as having factory fitted Grover or Grover-like tuners. The sides and back are either rosewood or mahogany - this is where a pic would help me - and the neck probably the same. Photos of your guitar would help but, from the descns I've read on Harmony, it sounds like a solid spruce top (good thing) as none of the other Venturas sunk to using a laminate top. It is very well appreciated nowadays that the Japanese were making excellent instruments in the 1970s and acoustics seem to improve with age. Second-hand prices range from $80 to $150 but, with careful description, you should see the higher end on a sale. Venturas seem to have the legend "designed in the USA, made in Japan" and sold at this time in the region of $200 new. I reckon the V10 reviewer is ten years out and your guitar is likely to have been made in the late 1970s. However, there are plenty of other Ventura acoustics reviewed (V11, V12, V14 etc etc) and it's possible to make some educated guesses. June, there is a single review of the Ventura V10 on Harmony Central:Īnd it's not exactly the most informed one I've ever read.
