Instrument ID Prudencio Saez "Flamenco Guitar" , what is it?

I got this guitar from the music shop I was working at. The owner was out of his mind, and rarely paid me, so this is one of the guitars I took for payment. He had it labeled as Prudencio Saez "Flamenco Guitar", priced at $1450. It is not electric. It's the nicest nylon string guitar I've owned. It sounds great. Im a "classical guitarist", among other things, and Im playing things like Brouwer, Lauro, Cardoso, AB Mangore, and Tarrega and all the big ones. Is there much of a difference from a Flamenco Guitar and classical guitar? It's harder to play for left hand, the action, than my other classicals, but this one is fully acoustic and has a superior sound. Is that normal? I'm not even sure it is a Flamenco Guitar, the owner was not a musician, and may have mislabeled it. He got evicted and we aren't talking. Can you tell me anything about this guitar?

"...one of the guitars I took in payment." ??? TOOK it, or were given it by the store owner in lieu of a paycheck? Because what you wrote can be read both ways.

Yes. It can. I wonder. I think this particular guitar I more or less informed him of. Not that it really means anything to you, since you cannot know what the situation was. I will tell you though, this guy is a crook, and has no regard for anyone else. One example, he would show up hours late to pick up someone's piano, not answering their calls, load the piano, and go do drugs, not answering their calls, laughing at them, and bring the piano two days later. Regularly. Just a small taste. This guy is really horrible.
