It wasn't that bad for as cheap as it was. It sounded better that a lot of guitars I played on such as Fender and Ibanez. Its definetly not as good as my Gibson though. It did have noisy pickups and only when I put it on its so called "humbuker" it would take of some of the noise. The one real thing I liked about it was the fact that it stayed in tune. Most cheap beginners guitars usually come out of tune fast but this one wasn't so bad.

This is a wierd guitar. It has an totatlly different type of body and the fretboard is just spooky! All the hardware is crap, plain and simple the hardware sucks, get rid of it.

I've never heard a guitar that sounds like this, kinda got a lowend to it, different than my fender which it seems to look exactly alike, even the hardware parallels, except that the bently hardware is cheap. I love the sound of this guitar, I use it as my distorted drop D guitar, that is after I replaced every single piece of equipment loaded in this baby.

Once you fix the action and play with it it is great. The tuners are sooooo crappy, and the screachy tremolo is just awful, but i replaced every piece of hardware in this s.o.b. and i am proud of this guitar now.

I could drop this thing out of the window of my car and let a semi run over it and I'm sure it'd still be ok. This guitar has been through alot and it's still the same as when I first laid eyes on it. I like it for the sure fact that when I first hated it I could kick the hell out of it and it'd still be the same old Bently, I love this little guitar now!

Bently is long gone my friend. And I know exactly why, they were too afraid of what people would think of this thing. If you can look past all the cheap ass sautered hardware it is just the most precious guitar, you gotta learn to love a Bentley, but I wouldn't have paid the full price for a new one, no way in heck, I'm glad I got this dude for free.

Hey I've read over these reviews and people talk alot of crap about these poor guitars, this old guy of mine had alot of potential, it just took some lovin' to extract it. If you have somehow come into the posession of a Bently, think of it as the perfect guitar to experiment on, love it and it will become one of your favorites.
