crunchee Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 No affiliation. Allegedly has a '56 Gibson LP Junior neck. Might be worth watching if they ever drop the price: https://reverb.com/item/34392719-parts-guitar-mississippi-2010s-natural For fun, and especially since we're in the middle of a hot (and getting hotter) Summer during a really lousy year, here's a quasi-related video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerteddybear Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 $2100 for a parts guitar? And so what if it has a '56 Junior neck? It's had a refret and a refin. Meanwhile, the seller is asking 'only' $5699 for a Steve Stevens - https://reverb.com/item/31688694-1986-hamer-steve-stevens-i-factory-autographed-in-gold-sparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi not so much. It took me a minute to realize that the body was something other than a random scrap of wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cynic Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 There's no denying HOA's suck. I moved to MS after 30 years in/around San Diego (the last 20 as a home owner). No HOA but home owners insurance is $2800 more ($3550) and property taxes are nearly $3300 for a < $300,000 house (about 50% higher than what I paid in SD for a house worth nearly twice as much). I also just spent nearly $1000 to register a 2006 Toyota, 2015 Ram, and 2019 Honda. Edited to add: ... and it's freaking MISSISSIPPI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobro Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 When I lived in MS back in the early '80s, it cost me close to $650 to register a new Honda Civic- which only cost $6500! Besides the price of the vehicle registration and "tag" (everywhere else I've been it's a license plate), there was the state personal property tax and the county "Road and Bridge Use Privilege Tax". Nowadays I live in SE Wisconsin. Property taxes for my roughly $300K house are $7300, which is a bargain compared to the Illinois suburbs of Chicago. Home owner's insurance is only $500 a year, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchee Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 What, 11 replies so far, and not one mention of Peavey? If it had a Made-In-Meridian-Mississippi-Peavey USA neck, it'd be more appropriate...and a lot cheaper, no doubt. There are worse-looking 'concept' guitars out there on Reverb IMO, such as this 'guitar, meet bandsaw' series (and again, no affiliation): https://reverb.com/item/32959473-stratocaster-style-douglas-usa-electric-guitar-fender-squire-neck-and-body-partscaster https://reverb.com/item/33582205-telecaster-style-douglas-usa-electric-guitar-fender-usa-pickups-and-saddles-partscaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
