  P'Migo has a Collegiate La Habanera model guitar with the same decal and pearloid fingerboard, same black and red coloring on the top, black back, but the bridge is red in color, and the peg head is slotted.So far the most obvious problem is that it needs a new bridge and probably a bridge plate. One of the ladder braces is off, also. Needs a new nut (the old one was missing). Back needs to be re-glued in a few places to the sides. Tuners seem okay. Can't tell much about the neck angle with the body, but the neck does have a slight twist to it. I am repairing it now (June 16, 2019) and will go as far as I can toward getting back into playing condition.

  Forgot to add that I'm not sure this was made by Harmony. The decal is identical as are some other aspects, but Oscar Schmidt is said to have made the P'Migo Collegiate slotted peghead guitars.
