  1. I actually garbage picked a Bently 5105G while walking my dog one morning. It had the tuners and pegs removed. I looked at it though and noticed it had a very worn fret board and new frets. I was intrigued. I took it home cleaned it up put in new tuners and strung it up. Then I saw why it was pitched. The wood on the heal by the body had separated parallel to the top. A little Elmers glue fixed that. So I tuned it up, adjusted the neck and WOW. This guitar rings out. The action is not quite as nice as my Rosewood Martin Special that I got from Guitar Center for about $1300 but it rivals the sound and intonation. I have about $50 in it. I love it. I found very little info about the 5105G. Plenty about 5106G and other models. Does anyone know anything more about the 5105G? The one reference was one that Johnny Cash had used and performed with (signed) and authenticated selling for about $50 G. https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25138/lot/20/
