zorrow Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 It looks like NAMM Expo 81 was covered in the October 1981 issue of Guitar Player Magazine. Does anyone here have it? It might contain a picture of the Hamer booth, where one guitar I own might appear —the guitar is pictured below. If you own the mag, would you please share with me some pictures of the NAMM feature? Thanks a lot in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmatthes Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 I had a subscription back then and vividly recall that issue. I don't recall seeing the camo Vector in there, but there's a possibility. I have a pretty photographic memory of a lot of those old magazines because I read them and reread them dozens of times as a kid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM OF HAMER Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Nope! One of the one I missed...................I remember seeing that issue at a guitar show though. The only MAG I get now is The FRETBOARD JOURNAL..............GUITAR PLAYER really went to pot quite a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
