Classical Guitar vs Flamenco Guitar: What’s the REAL Difference?

We’ve just released a video on our YouTube channel. In this short and informative segment, GSI President David Collett breaks down the essential distinctions between classical and flamenco guitars—two types of guitars that may look similar at first glance, but are actually built with very different goals in mind.

David covers a range of topics including tonal qualities, historical development, and specific construction features that define each type of guitar. Whether you're a player, a collector, or simply curious about what makes these guitars unique, this video offers a clear and concise explanation. The video also features a guest artist, Cody Noriega, performing sound samples on both guitar types.
