No, but my mom has this old acoustic guitar that I'm thinking of fixing. I know the neck is fucked in one way or another, and definitely needs new strings.

I'm more of a singer, but my singing voice isn't really that great. I can high notes like you wouldn't believe, though.

how fucked is the neck? are we talking about a crack or it being warped?

well, either way i'd get a professional to look at it. The physical aspects of a guitar are very precarious and require vast knowledge on the subject.

I don't sing, my voice is too low, and my voice is shaky.
XD it sounds like somebody used a tremolo effect on a bass guitar.

do you play any instruments at all?

I'm pretty sure the neck is warped, but I don't know where the damn thing is.

I played piano for a few years. I still know some of the basics.

Pretty awesome man.

I write songs as well, which is a lot of fun. Could've edited a previous post but fuck it I'm lazy.

I've been thinking of just creating a thread for them, actually. Most of them are about fantasy and epic battles though.
