I recently attend a Guitar show where there was about 1,000 Guitars for sale.
Is there any type of show that specilized in Banjos or Blue Grass instruments????

I've been to the Bee3Vintage show in Charlotte (They have several each year in other towns too) and I've seen several dealers that have mostly bluegrass instruments. Years ago Curtis McPete would set up a booth. Then there is the IBMA convention in Nashville for the new stuff. Going to Gruhn Guitars most anytime would be as good as any guitar show and they have lots of bluegrass instruments.

Tell her you taking her to the best BBQ made in Tennessee. It's a few doors down from Gruhn's Guitars on Broadway. She can spend time at the HardRockCafe while you drool in Gruhn's.

The guitar shows I've attended have all kinds of guitars, but more electric than acoustic, and are so noisy that it's really hard to evaluate an instrumentThere are a few banjos, but not many. Not a place I'd go to buy an instrument. I've attended several, and when I went with no money I found a couple I wanted to buy, but the one time I had a checkbook in my pocket with $40,000 (from a house sale that day; a little wouldn't have been missed) I didn't see a thing. The one time I brought an instrument to trade (a 1930s Martin uke) dealers yelled at me because I asked for their offers rather than giving my price. Not a single one made an offer ("Come back when you get an offer, and I'll beat it" they all said), and I eventually sold it for more than I would have accepted.
