Yamaha CG122MSH (low action classica...

I played a Yamaha CG122MSH at a shop a couple years ago and really like the sound. I had not started playing flamenco at this stage. I already have a Yamaha CG172SF flamenco which i think is a great guitar.

Do you think you could get a flamenco sound out of the CG122MSH albeit with a darker nato/ mahogany tone

or do their classical guitars have different bracing for different tone?
