They both refer to a classical guitar with a slot head, tie bridge, nylon strings, a wide, flat fretboard, and light bracing, with the neck joining the body at the 12th fret. This guitar is used almost exclusively for playing classical music. Unless you're interested in playing classical music this is a bad choice for you. For most people, a steel string flattop acoustic guitar is a much better choice. It can be used for playing rock, pop, folk, bluegrass, nd much more. Don't buy a classical guitar because someone told you that the nylon strings are easier on your fingers. After a few weeks with light gauge steel strings there won't be a problem and you'll have the right guitar. Those terms are synonymous.
