Classic Guitars, Amps & Effects For Hire

Hire classic, vintage and iconic guitars - electrics, basses, acoustics - plus legendary effects pedals and amps.

"God's Own" because the guitars, amps and pedals you can hire have been owned or made famous by some of the most iconic guitarists and songwriters of the past 50 years.  Better than "God's Own" because you get to use and play that gear, just by hiring.  This is your way to enjoy a range of iconic guitars, without breaking the bank or tying yourself to a single guitar.

Whatever your reason or need, there's a guitar, amp or pedal for you:

Personal practice

Try-before-you-buy

Band practice

Home and studio recording

Live performance

Film and video shoots

Photo shoots

Film and theatre productions

Themed events and parties

Marriage proposals and weddings

And more . . .

In the end, it's really down to your needs and imagination.  My promise to you is a high quality, end-to-end hire experience, with some of the most iconic guitars and gear in the world.

Hirer Of The Month: Keito Kagira, Talk House

The second time that Talk House have featured as Hirer Of The Month, and as much a "Going The Extra Mile" award as a monthly highlight.  I'd already been impressed by their ambition and sense of adventure at the start of the year, when they hired for their UK debut, at Camden's legendary Dublin Castle on 2 January 2025.  With the band spread across the globe, and guitarist Keito flying in from Tokyo just for the gig, that was some dedication.  Mind you, he got to hire the 2011 Graham Coxon Telecaster to record new material and play at the gig itself - some would say definitely worth crossing the globe for.

And then, on 27 February, they did it again.  A bigger venue, the O2 Academy Islington, a bigger crowd, a bigger splash.  And, once again, Keito made the trip all the way from Tokyo, recording new material with the band in the studio and playing the gig.  Even in the short period of time between the two gigs, the band had gained in confidence, and blew it away at the O2 Academy.  Helped only a little by Keito giving some air to this Arctic White Stratocaster, an absolutely failsafe companion, loved by so many hirers.  Looks great, sounds great.  What next, what bigger venue, and what guitar is anyone's guess.  But you'd better catch them before they go global, whatever!

Sean Genockey's specially commissioned 2016 Millman Dreadnought.  Used extensively live and in the studio, and played by James Dean Bradfield at the 2019 MPG Awards.  All that, and a gloriously full-bodied and toned dreadnought, crafted by luthier James Millman.

2009 Epiphone FT-112 Bard 'Oh, Pretty Woman', Roy Orbison

'Oh, Pretty Woman', Natural,

as made famous by Roy Orbison

That opening and repeated riff, so recognisable, so iconic, so no surprise that Epiphone decided to put out a signature model of the original FT-112 Bard that Roy Orbison played on "Oh, Pretty Woman". Perfect for that song - and any song that demands the chime of a 12-string acoustic!

1972 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, Cherry Sunburst

Cherry Sunburst,
as made famous by Scott Gorham

The Les Paul Deluxe.  Probably most famous in the hands of Pete Townshend throughout the 70s.  But for me it's Scott Gorham, Thin Lizzy, and Live And Dangerous - the first live album I ever bought, and still the best!  This glorious 1972 Cherry Sunburst Deluxe brings it all back!
