Benito Huipe on ebay

Is this a real Bento Huipe?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=260158998198&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016

I emailed a few sources (thanks for the leads, Tom) and learned that Huipe sold guitars by apprentices under his label through Casa Talamantes at one time, and that he has never personally made anything other than his "signature" peghead with the horns.

So is this a B. Huipe or just one selected by him for sale through Casa Talamantes?

Hi,

It looks more like a classical to me. I can't see a tap plate. And the sides look pretty deep like a classical. I could be wrong, but the Huipe's are known for making classicals too...

cheers!
