Vintage Ventura Bruno V-1583 Classical Guitar MIJ

One of the safest bets when purchasing MIJ guitars is to go for a Ventura Bruno. That's how I ended up with 9 of them -- all surviving the ravages of time, abuse and neglect with grace. The bracing is noteworthy and one reason why the tops seldom end up warped, provided the guitar was never strung with steel strings. This is one that likely never was asked to do what it wasn't designed to do -- try to survive steel strings. With a new bone saddle replacing the original plastic one on 9/20/2023, action is set at 3.5 and 3.25 mm, 6th and 1st strings, respectively. It could go lower, but being a classical guitar, action shouldn't go much lower as the strings need the room to vibrate and move. New nylon strings were tuned up and then loosened for storage. Comes with new Wayfinder by Gator light duty gig bag and new electronic clip-on tuner, as well as picks and a strap as the guitar has a strap button on the bottom-side.
