Contreras Estudio 1981

I have been playing my Contreras Estudio flamenco for about three months now. It is labeled as 1981 without any signed signature on the label. I am assuming it is a factory made instrument for Contreras shop. I am curious to know if any makers know about. This model. It plays really nicely and has an ebony fingerboard. I bought it in Malaga.

Just a few days ago I notice two tiny hairline cracks on the lower bout inner curve. When I lightly press the it seems almost like a laquer crack and not in the wood. Any ideas on this and/ or can anybody tell me about these guitars

Thanks
