September 20th – 22nd, in Arvada CO (NW suburb of Denver).

-- Archtop expo on Saturday and Sunday (23 luthiers currently listed)

-- Live music performances Friday through Sunday

-- Workshops (some on building, but most seem to be on playing)

-- Luthier Demo performances

Lots of good luthiers. For example, in Monday's Live Lesson of the Boutique Guitar Showcase, I was really taken by the Fugue from LHT Guitars...turns out they'll be there. One person in the Live Lesson asked in the chat about Linda Manzer (the Canadian luthier famous for Pat Metheny's Pikasso and baritone guitars)...she'll be there.

A ticket for the expo, two full days of workshops, and admittance to all the live performances is $59, which seems like a steal.

That was me... Linda Manser builds some outstanding instruments, including archtops. Sounds like this would will be a great event to attend. You're lucky to have it near you.

These custom hand made guitars are amazing. 

Only problem is their prices are nowhere near what an average person could even attempt to afford one

You're in luck @NeilES335 Linda has no back log of orders right now, 12mnths to build your dream

She's 67, in Toronto we should look up her studio

@JDK1962, thanks for posting this.  We have to have some members in this forum that are in that area that would have an interest in this.
