ive been playing guitar for 7 years now and id like to learn more about how they are built, how to repair them and maintain them etc... is this a decent block to tinker with and mess around with?

guy will take 40 bucks... from reviews online its a solid maple body? keep in mind i wouldnt be playing this guitar just tearing it down maybe practice refinishing stuff and maybe down the road start to add nicer parts onto it.. just something to do with my spare time, ya know? what do you think

That's a plywood body. Not solid maple. Look at the neck pocket. different grain. Not worth more than $10.00

don't waste your time.
