Please help with identifying this guitar

Hi hoping someone may have some clues on this guitar which is being sold by the owner/friend thinking of buying it myself so would appreciate any info or speculation...hoping maybe the rosette, headstock or pegs may give it away...no label... it has a case from Conde Hermanos but unclear if the instrument is connected thanks in advance..always appreciate the wealth of knowledge at foro...

Thanks Kieth, Sean and John...huge help came upon this also a few hours ago.. http://www.catoosatrading.com/images/cat_1970sventura_page_09.jpg the rosette did remind me of a KYairi or Matsouka... being in Australia it makes sense as alot of japanese guitars were taken up by retailers in the 70's... quote:
How does it play? the guitar is 2000 km away but my friend says it is easy to play and has an aged, deep sound..so no idea from personal experience...but if similiar to a k yairi imagine they have a bit of charecter and a good setup... again thanks for your help...will let him know. Bruno Ventura...sounds like a continental Austen Powers...

hey Al, I thought you do own some nice high quality guitars right now , dont you? why would you buy this one? hey Kudo.. a couple reasons 1. flamenco guitars are a hard find here. if it plays well, sounds good and is well made i would buy it to move onto a student...save them the hassle of finding a decent entry level instrument until they are ready to upgrade.. 2 beach or holiday guitar.. 3 dont have a less precious guitar to take to spain in september [ not sure what ia available over there at a budget price...] all this depends on price...but picked Marduk up a nice japanese made blanca recently..find they are well made, light with a good sound and set up...often direct copies of ramirez 1a's quote:
Ryoji Matsuoka. thanks Sig...it could be...crossed my mind too...or K Yairi..or Tama never heard of Ventura guitars before...but seem to be many out there.. quote:
Juan Orozco another bruno ventura? Matsouka guitars are fairly common here... just checked... a luthier who outsourced to japan in the 70's http://orozcoguitars.blogspot.com.au/http://www.savageclassical.com/guitars/Sold/juan_orozco_flamenco_1965.html
