Bently was a brand started by St. Louis Music Supply Co. in the late 1970s as a more affordable line than their other brand, Alvarez. They created the "Series 10" line around 1981. Their guitars were made mostly by Samick at first, but by 1988 switched production entirely to Cort. The brand was eventually replaced by Austin.
