Guitarra Magazine
Guitarra magazine was published in Chicago by Antigua Casa Sherry-Brener Inc. from 1963 through 1987. It appears not to have been published from 1969 to 1978.

The content list and files were sourced from the website archives on Archive.org’s Wayback Machine. The archives are incomplete so I have posted everything that I was able to collect. Any dates or issue numbers where there aren’t contents are just best guesses on my part since I don’t have access to all published issues. There are a few libraries which seem to have large numbers of issues so I won’t list all the sources. It appears that Sherry-Brener ceased business in August 2019.
Published dates: 1963-1987
Total number of issues: 69
