Classical guitar is commonly used to refer both to the guitar and to the repertoire and to the style of playing. Many words have more than one meaning and sense of usage. This is a polyseme (more applicable here than homonym), a word or phrase with different, but related senses. There is nothing really to do about it. The different senses of the word classical guitar are all correct.
