Gorgeous Vintage  VENTURA " Fujigen Gakki " this baby is almost a time capsule   SUPER NICE WoW!1977 Howard Roberts fusion 2453 Jazz box crafted in Japanat Fujigen Gakki factory which is the Ibanez family Ventura top of the line law suit exact copy Beautiful WoW! Pretty much an Exact 1960s Gibson Howard Roberts Fusion model copy lawsuit This is a 2453 model top of the line built in Japan nearly 40 years ago of all figured and AAA flamed woods. Amazing hand crafted workmanship fit and finish still is in excellent vintage condition. Original super 70's type pickup (Ibanez issue) it sounds warm and clean very touch sensitive just beautiful tone. L-5 appointments beautiful Tailpiece and has its famous gold Star tuners (ibanez issue) still doing a great job, original Tortious multi bound pickguard is good too!at one time the Pickguard had a knob and has been covered and professionally touched upit looks good now and is a solid well bound pickguard, bindings also are very good all round this guitar is very nice overall and much better than average the rosewood fingerboard looks beautiful with a little play wear Re: the frets were fine but we did a fret dress on them and polished all frets they are now slick with the fret edge binding also a top refined refined optional touch and so Gibson has nothing on this beauty! Plays real nicely easily played with a medium slim taper C neck with a nut width of 1-11/16ths, with a full Gibson 25" scale length has the correct H fingerboard inlays for Howard Roberts. Gold looks good but does show some tarnish or wear as seen and looks all vintage beautiful with genuine patina. It's finish is called Antique Violin Sunburst and it shows off its beautiful Flamed figured woods and patina gold hardware really a great combination as you can see, this is a professional grade vintage Japanese well crafted Jazz instrument and has been set up with flat wound strings she's ready to swing. Have a good look this one is worth your serious consideration.
