a “regular” accoustic uses steel strings and has a smaller neck than a classical guitar, which uses nylon strings and has a wider neck.

Classical guitars have a wider fret board than regular acoustic guitars.

All guitars that are not electric and have a hollow inside are acoustic. Classicals have nylon strings and a wide fretboard which has a slight or no taper. If your guitar has a tapered neck and fretboard and steel strings, it’s a regular old acoustic.

Classical guitars usually have catgut strings and are strung through the stock head. They usually tend to be a bit wider in the neck and depending on make and model are usually more baritone in their sound. Acoustic guitars are strung to the pegs approximately the same as electric in neck width and tend to be more tenor in sound due to the metal nature of the strings.
