Series 10 guitar. Says made in Korea. VERY heavy with a HUGE neck profile.
Light Pink metal flake going on for the paint. Pinkish Red knobs and three, three way switches. Look at the humbucker, it looks like the old westone magnaflux rail pickup only with dark metal instead of the alloy silver look.

Appears to be all orginal. I took the back plate off and It appears to be made out of a solid piece of wood. It has some major hardware on it.
Someone scalloped the neck but I like that.

What kind of value would this guitar have? I know its nothing crazy but for just an idea. My guess would be maybe 200? I have not been able to find another one like it.

Hi Onetoomany.

This guitar is a Bently, a brand distributed by Saint Louis Music (SLM).

It is known as a Pink Ariel (model 2246) and retailed for $300 in 1987.

It looks to me like the knobs and the humbucker pick up surround have been changed. It's possible the humbucker pickup itself is a replacement but I can't tell from the picture.

Your estimate of $200 is probably pretty accurate.
