There are structural difference, such as the types of wood used, body depth, and the position of the bridge. One of the most important differences is that the strings on a flamenco guitars are closer to the frets to create the typical flamenco sound. – Juan Manual Canizares
It is more of a “broken” sound, especially with the fourth, fifth and sixth bass strings. It is a “nastier” sound, like when a singer’s voice cracks. Flamenco guitar is more aggressive, has more attack, and sometimes sounds less clear. – Juan Manual Canizares
Classical guitar is sweeter. The articulation and phrasing are softer, more elastic. Flamenco is much more rhythmic and percussive. - – Juan Manual Canizares
