Does this look like a real Pedro de ...

Hey all, the headstock is definitely not the current one, but the guitar dates from 1994 according to the seller. Can anyone familiar with older Pedro de Miguels tell me if they would have used this headstock or tuners?
There's apparently no model number.

Thanks!

Doesn't look like the two PdM headstocks in the headstock library

I decided that it probably is real because who would cannibalize a label for PdM, especially in '94 when they were only 3 years old. It's probably a low end student model w/ different headstock. I might offer like $500 for it.

Myself....I think it's a Conde, but made by somebody else who is trying to diguise it from being a Conde made by somebody else.

cheers,

It looks like an older Estudio model. Now they use the same headstock design for their student models like 8F. I think from their beginning, they turn the label that you can read it when you play the guitar only for 1A guitars with their signature on the right side.
Btw didn´t one of them died in the nearly past?

Hmm I think you are right. Weird that they didn't even put a date or model # on the label. I'm waiting on better pictures.
I had no idea one of them died, that's too bad.

Heck maybe it IS a Conde in disguise
