This page an example of Ventura instruments available from C. Bruno Distributors in 1968. Click any image to enlarge. I think these may be from the era before they started putting the "Designed in the U.S.A. - Crafted in Japan" logo stickers inside the soundhole of the acoustic guitars. However, notice page 5 states: "They produce the sounds of America." Just a hint at the obvious likeness of some of their models to famous American guitar models. Ventura seemed to be particularly fond of copying Martian guitars.Though they made their share of Gibson copies as well.
