I actually own a Les Paul copy that I wrote a review about, here. Everything from student guitars to Acoustics made for solid wood and Fishman pickup systems. Manufacturing in China, at least for the most part, they make a wide range of instrument. I won't speak to the particulars (because I don't actually know them) but in the last few years the brand has been revived. If you go to Ebay and type in "Ventura", you will most likely see the vintage instruments that are associated with the brand.
Thirty something years ago, Ventura was a small but respected brand of guitars. Ventura might be the biggest secret it the music industry. So when I learned that Ventura supported the same guys that let me play with their fun, new guitar stuffs, I felt good about that. I like to find used gear and save some money, but sticks, strings, picks, capos, and the occasional pedal will be bough in a local music store. However, I am cheap and often deal peer-to-peer when buying a lot of gear. I try to support my local music stores as much as I can. Local music stores are slowing going the way of the buffalo. This is because Ventura wants to protect the local music store. No dealer is allowed to post Ventura guitars online, or mention there prices. Obviously, this does not apply to used Ventura instruments. In a day and age when everything is available on the internet, we don't know what to do when you literally can't buy something online.
