Distant cousins to the electras I think. I had a standard Bently LP CSB model I bought in 1981. It had super distortion Dimarzio pups but the tuners were low grade and the body was plywood. These were just later models of the same I guess maybe manufactured elsewhere. They are OK beginner guitars and maybe OK backups but I would not want to gig one unles I upgraded the tuners. The pickups were the selling point for these models I think. The price was great. Overall I would rate them at about a 5/10 . Not bad but could be much better hardware wise.
