Yes. Do not mix this up with a "Mexican" guitar, as this refers to manufacturing quality.

Spanish/classical Guitars are known for their widely spaced frets, nylon strings, and fingerpicking technique.

There is no "Spanish" guitar although a classical guitar is sometimes called a Spanish guitar. A classical guitar has nylon strings but an acoustic guitar has steel strings. There are many differences as well.

So that, No, a Spanish or classical guitar is not an acoustic guitar.

SongScouting: Sorry. There IS no Spanish guitar - but there WAS a Spanish guitar a few hundred years ago - which would make it acoustic.

Also, my acoustic nylon strung "Folk guitar" is also called a "classical guitar". A guitar is acoustic or electric. An acoustic guitar can be nylon or steel strung.

A 'Spanish Guitar' is another term used to describe a 'Classical Guitar' or 'Nylon-String Guitar'. Obviously the term 'Spanish Guitar' is in part subject to what style of music the 'Nylon-String Guitar' is playing, usually flamenco or something similar. Another example of one instrument having different names in different styles would be what is known as a 'Violin' in classical music being known as a 'Fiddle' in folk music.
