Ventura/Bruno guitars of this era are not super common. One theory is that this is the 977th V-25 built in 1973, but there is no official data on serial numbers. If you know any of your dad's friends who knew him in the mid 70's, might help you to more closely date the guitar by when he bought it. Bruno catalogs, so obviously it dates from this time. The closest I can tell you is this was a popular offering in the mid 70's C. Bruno, so accurate dating of this guitar is impossible.

There was no known records kept by the successors to C. Is there a "Takamine Guitars" logo branded into the wood? Look in the body from the sound hole, and look towards the neck. However, many clues point to your Ventura, which incidentally is a Martin Copy, having been made by Takamine Guitars, who have since become well known for their quality. It's not clear who the actual Japanese maker was, and different makers may have been used at different times, for different models. Ventura was a brand name used for Japanese guitars imported by the C. Here's a bit about the company (this is in response to a query about a V-25): I've not heard anything about that particular model number, though, and the fact that it's a purple guitar leads me to believe it's of recent issue. I don't think they're still made, or if they are, that they have the same rep. We're talking about 1970s vintage guitars, however. The ones made in Japan are supposed to be fine guitars, especially the V-25. I've heard of Ventura (or Ventura Bruno) guitars, though I've never played one. Seems like not many people have heard of them. Any idea what it's worth Ventura guitars were made in Japan in the 1970's, and distributed to the US market by C. It's a Ventura Bruno model V-10 serial 88204. My 75 yr old mother has guitar given to her by my grandfather. I was drawn to it because of the appearance and color.
