I have several of their catalogs here:

I saw an acoustic guitar for sale at a local antique shop, I was thinking of trading this guitar in for that one if I don't think this one is worth anything.. I mean, it plays pretty bad and the action is awful (the strings are very high on the neck)
The acoustic I'm looking at needs a bit of work too, but since it's acoustic I figure it would be easier to work with. (no electrical problems like this one has)
It's called a "Bently." and it is written in gold letters and seems pretty old. I've tried looking this guitar up, but the only Bently guitars that are on the net are spelled differently. (Bentley), So I don't know if it's a completely different brand, or if they just changed their name. It has no strings, and needs a tuning peg.. The guitar is stickered for like $25, but I don't know.

The tuners are actually pretty bad. When I try tuning the strings it goes from being really loose, to really hard to tune.. They are probably just worn out. (then again it may have to do with the kind they are, or if they even fit correctly)
EDIT: Another thing. I don't know if this was considered a "full less paul copy." The shape looks like a les paul, but the body is really thin, and flat. (it doesn't have the curve on the front part of the body that the les paul has)

I've taken the guitar apart before to see if there is any sign of name or anything, but I didn't even notice the pickups were single coils until now.
Any idea what it may be worth if it is a Cort?
EDIT: Don't mind the loose string, I never was good at stringing guitars. (old string anyway.)

This is because I have seen the same tuners, truss rod cover & headstock shape on Cort-built LP copies. If you take off the control cover & look at the pots, they'll likely be full-size "dp" - branded units, these were often used by Cort. You'll probably also find that the pickups are single-coils in humbucker cases.

From a few pawn dealers they believe it's some kind of Silvertone or Harmony but I have no idea. It kinda resembles a les paul, but it's very thin and doesn't weigh a lot. Also, if anybody know's what kind it is, if they could tell me how much it would be worth I would appreciate it as well.
thanks.
