Ventura V1300 Vintage Archtop 1960s - Sunburst

Ventura Model V1300 L-5 Arch top Style Guitar Made in Japan

This guitar is in good condition, especially for its age. There are a few cracks in the finish on the back of the neck and on the sides of the headstock, as well as a number of small dings and scratches here and there. However the intonation is very good it plays very well. Also the heel joint was been re-glued December of 2023 and is stable.

Imported from to the USA by C. Bruno & Sons, the Ventura line of instruments were produced in Japan's famed Matsumoku factory. Clearly inspired by Gibson's L-5CES and ES-175, the Ventura V-1300 is a surprisingly elegant hybrid and easy to play vintage archtop. Paired with a fully hollow maple body and spruce top, the round and snappy acoustic tone of the instrument works very well in concert with the pickups for everything from biting twang to mellow Jazz tonalities. The guitar weighs 7.3 lbs.
