Ventura VWD0NAT Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Steel String Dreadnaught. I picked this up from some students who were leaving town. I changed out the worn out wound strings for D'Addarios and mixed a little baking soda and super glue to raise the string slot for the low E, which was buzzing. It turned out to be a great sounding guitar! It's got crispy brightness, with enough low-end to satisfy. It would be a great beginner guitar and, with a few upgrades, could even be a lifetime guitar. If I were ... more

This is a popular brand from the 70s as it was built like a more expensive version of a 12 string acoustic guitar. The nut is the full 1 875 inch width, not easy to find on inexpensive acoustics.

I also noticed a bulge below the bridge, which is common to find on older laminated body guitars, so I installed a bridge doctor, which ... more

Based on the logo, I think the guitar is made in late 70s, early 80s.
As it is shown in the photos, the machine heads are changed by the previous owner.
It seems that the nut is changed or repaired too
