Its a Bently 5106S. Everything on this guitar looks great. This guitar was gave to me, and till this day Ive never stopped playing it.

Sound : No Opinion
This guitar is amazing! I love its sound, It gives off such a rich deep sound. If you have one and it doesnt sound good you need to change the strings, and you will be so impressed. I have two other guitars alot more expensive and Ill pick up my Bently first.

Action, Fit, & Finish : No Opinion
Such a easy guitar to play.

Reliability/Durability : No Opinion
I know this is a old guitar but those korean's know how to make a tough guitar. Ive dropped, banged, hit, and played alot and it still shows little use.

Customer Support : No Opinion
This guitar is very hard to find. If you read this and you come across a Bently acoustic... GET IT!

Overall Rating : No Opinion
My rating is 10 out of 10. Ill never get rid of it.

Features : No Opinion
This guitar was made in 1979, in Korea. It has 20 frets, and the body is almost identical to the Gibson Hummingbird, except for the fact that the Bently has dot inlays, whereas the Gibson doesn't. I'm not even going to begin to guess at what wood it's made out of.

The neck isn't too bad, it actually plays pretty good, despite its age and low price. The neck was straight when I got it, so it can obviously take 23 years of abuse (the old owner didn't know what she was doing).

Sound : 8
For an acoustic, it plays pretty loud. I think it has very good sound quality for something in its price range.

Action, Fit, & Finish : No Opinion
I can't really say anything about this, since I bought it used, but everything seems to be in order on the guitar, except I had to replace the string holder pegs, as the previous owner had them bent and warped.

Reliability/Durability : 10
If this thing has survived 23 years so far, it'll endure a lot longer. The finish is on well, it doesn't dent easily, and scratches are hardly visible. The pickguard is starting to come off a little around the corner, but that's nothing carefully applied wood glue won't fix.

Customer Support : No Opinion

Overall Rating : 8
I've been playing guitar and taking lessons for four years now. I own a Jackson Randy Rhoads RR3 and a Samick strat copy. I needed an acoustic, and someone in my town was selling this. The finish on this thing is absolutely beautiful, it really does look exactly like a Gibson Hummingbird.
