Mid Sixties Japanese-made Ventura-V-10 w/NEW Case (ZERO Fret)

Description

This is a Ventura V-10, a 40 inch Japanese clone, with X-bracing.  It has a 25 5/8 inch scale lenth.  the lower bout is 15 inches at its widest point.  I am guessing this was made in 1966.  It has an abalone inlay on the headstock that says "Ventura", and is fully two inches long.  That sort of craftsmanship ended long before the 1970s.  It also has the "ZERO" fret.  (see pictures.)
The condition is remarkably very good.  This guitar is more than fifty years old.  The white binding is intact.  Action is low.  The old-style cast tuners work perfectly.  This Ventura V-10 guitar has been recently set-up, and has a new intonation-adjusted saddle.  It is set-up like new.  Tone is extra-fine in every range, like all the good Japanese clones.  It has light strings on it.
This is a collectors' guitar that will increase in value if it is not abused.  It is also in perfectly playable condition, and will provide decades of musical enjoyment.  Perfect for Bluegrass, folk, blues, etc.
The pictures provide the best description.  Buy on my reputation.
