Members SmoothOcean Posted August 29, 2009 Members Share Posted August 29, 2009 My friend was just given a Bently flat top Acoustic guitar. Its model number is 5104A and the serial number on the guitar is #95011000006. Can anyone give me any more info on this guitar? I'll upload a picture when I can.

Members recordingtrack1 Posted August 30, 2009 Members Share Posted August 30, 2009 I think they were distributed by the St. Louis Music Company, late 80's, early 90's. Rather poor quality and no real value in them. Probably $100 bucks brand new. That one actually looks like it might be in relatively good shape. Looks like it's been in a dust storm.

Members seagullplayer77 Posted August 30, 2009 Members Share Posted August 30, 2009 What RT1 says is correct. That particular model was produced by the St. Louis Music Company from 1995 to 1997: http://www.usedprice.com/dropdown.php?pn=&ob=model&item_id=158848&catname=musical_instrument&mfrid=3674&typeid=149&query= Unfortunately, I don't have an account with the site, so I can't tell ya how much it's worth. Not much would be my best guess, but if it sounds good and plays good, who gives a hoot about how much it's worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members basschick22 Posted August 30, 2009 Members Share Posted August 30, 2009 Pretty cool. My first guitar was a 3/4 size "student model" Bently that I got as a gift when I was 6 years old. I still have that little guitar. When college came around (many years ago), I decided to upgrade and found another Bently, an AC/EL with a cutaway...which I also still have. Neither one of those guitars are particularly noteworthy for their sound, playability, or value, but mine mean a lot to me for sentimental reasons. I think the Bently guitar brand turned into the "Austin" guitar brand somewhere around 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
