Hi I'm looking for either an Alhambra 4p or 5p and I want the that beautiful classical cedar top sound. But I get confused 2 things:
1) Is there a difference between buying an Alhambra 4-5p produced today vs produced 20-30 years ago?
2) How come some alhambra 4p or 5p sound like a Flamenco guitar while others sound like a classical guitar. Example in youtube video.
If i compare this youtube video to to the other. They sound completely different (acknowledging that the recording is not as good on one) but the one sounds flamenco the other classical how come?
Alhambra sounding flamenco and dirty (not my style)

I want to buy an old used alhambra 4P or 5P because it's cheaper but I'm not sure if the older ones are more flamenco like and it will be shipped since I can't travel the distance to try it. How can i know if it will sound classical or flamenco?
