Just a cheap guitar that I found at a yard sale, thats what I thought till I put a set of strings on it. Its a great guitar, no features except it plays great.

Sound : 9
I usually play my Taylor all the time, but I find myself playing this alot. I now take it with me to the parks, the lake, you know places that I don't want my expensive guitars taken to. And whats cool is that is plays and sounds great.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
What finish.......just some pledge, and a rag to rub it in. The action is amazing for such an old guitar.

Reliability/Durability : 9
I have had it for 10 years, been knocked around, bumped, moved almost 2000 miles, and has with stood 3 sons learning to play the guitar. Yea is pretty durable.

This is my favorite acoustic guitar. I've been playing for 3 years now, and this is my first guitar. It's a 20 fret guitar, nice woods used on it.

Sound : 10
This guitar is perfect for me. The sound is great, it keeps up with many name brand guitars. Loud enough for jam sessions with other players, great recording tone. No fret buzz to speak of, even at lower actions.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
This guitar was set up with care. Everything is good, and wouldn't change much with it. Give it strings every 6 months and its good.

Reliability/Durability : 9
Very durable guitar, that can handle the rigors of playing live. It has a few scratches in it, but it looks great still. The possiblility of me getting rid of this guitar is non-existent. I have my mother to thank for this one, she just gave it to me, and it has been my guitar of choice since day one.

Customer Support : 1
Well, can't find anything on the company, but I don't need to.

All these lucky people buying their guitars for $10-$40. Wow! When I saw my Bently, I was not impressed at first, until I played it. It would compete with many Martins and Gibsons. Mahogany sides and back, fine spruce top. Tuners are quality and fretboard and bridge are rosewood. I may record my next CD playing with the Korean-made Bently. Who knows?

Sound : No Opinion
Bright and deep with very nice sustain, and that is with the old strings that came on it.

Action, Fit, & Finish : No Opinion
Finish not bad at all. I have seen better though. I have adjusted the nut and bridge since I bought the guitar, so action is good now.
All true on the twelfth except a slight deviation on 1st E. Will work on that.

Reliability/Durability : No Opinion
Very durable, I would say and for a hundred-dollar guitar, I don't need to be too careful as with some I own.

Customer Support : No Opinion
No idea about this.

Overall Rating : No Opinion
33 years of playing and I've played many guitars. Tacomas that outdo Martins, Gibsson J35 that puts many top-brand guitars to shame, and flat-top Bently that none would recognize by the sound as a Korean guitar.

Bought at a yard sale for 10 dollars. Put new strings on it and it's good. Holds tune well and sounds good, but doesn't really look impressive.

Sounds better than it looks. Rich, full sound with a very slight vibration.

The guitar fits very well, but isn't finished.
