I have this presumably '70s Ventura guitar that belonged to my wife's deceased mother, which I acquired out of a shed on the property in a standard fiberboard case and left in the elements for years. I got this in my possession about 5 or 6 years ago and cleaned it up, adjusted things, etc and surprisingly it plays fairly well until you get too high up on the neck..

The ones I've googled have always had the Ventura name across the headstock, and also there were serial numbers above the model number on the tag inside. This one has neither. I know she got the guitar sometime in the mid 70s but no one knows for sure when, and I'd sure like to get an approximate build date if it's at all possible..
It's honestly a great kickaround guitar and I enjoy playing with it more than my Martin DM. Btw, it's strung lefty for obvious reasons.
