Gildeavalle -> RE: Flamenco and Classical Guitars - Differences (May 31 2014 23:58:17)

Yes, Torresepithicus Robustus was the starting point, the different types of music and the guitar players' requests was what shaped the contemporary guitar classical or flamenca.
Flamenco: woods with less density and less body witdth so that the sound get it out of the body in a faster and stronger way, which is the base of Flamenco music.
Classical: woods with more density that define the personality of the guitar and give more harmonic aspects to the instrument.
And basically, apart from my definitions of classical or flamenco guitar, I always use the following simil when it comes to a simple explanations: the same difference that a woman and a man, they are the same but with few differences at first sight, and a bit more from the organological point of view, their behaviour and how they sound.
