In its original form, B.M.G. (Banjo-Mandolin-Guitar) magazine ran from 1903 until 1976. There were 26 issues with flamenco guitarists on the covers. The first of these was dated July 1944 (Vicente Gomez), and the last one was from March 1976 (Paco de Lucia). The October 1970 issue features David Rubio, then a keen flamenco guitarist but most famous as a luthier, and probably best known for making classical guitars for Julian Bream.

Guitar (later Guitar International)
Complete gallery of issues with flamenco guitarists on cover.
Guitar magazine ran from August 1972 until February 1992 (the magazine was known as Guitar International as of the August 1984 issue). There were 17 issues with flamenco guitarists on the covers. The first of these was dated September 1972 (Paco Peña) and the last one from September 1991 (Marcos). My favourite issue is the classic April 1976 issue with a Paco de Lucia cover and containing a great interview with him (click here for PDF of the interview).
