From what I can tell, this is a pretty rare guitar made in Japan by a company called Ventura in the 70s or possibly late 60s.  I could not find a serial number lookup but please feel free to research yourself.  The serial numbers are #a761845 and #a761573, one for the 12 string and one for the 6.

Ventura made a lot of copies of famous guitars and this one looks to be a copy of the Alpine White Gibson EDS-1275.   

I am not much of a guitar expert so I took this to a local guitar tech/luthier.   He said it plays great and is in very good condition.  He noted some small cracks around the neck and said that this is very common for bolt-on necks and is not a problem.  There is a small chip on the back/top of the body.  There are some scratches here and there but overall it looks pretty good for it's age.  

What I've noticed about the guitar, which I've owned for more than 20 years, is that the body/neck is super solid and so it stays in tune very well.  Hard shell case is included.

The last 2 photos of the guitar in the case and the full body shot make the guitar look brighter white than it actually is.  The rest of the photos more accurately show the off white front and cream/yellow back of the neck.
