Iconic 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 we share are Artist Owned or Made Famous By the Gods - some of the most iconic guitarists and songwriters from the past 50 years. Better than "God's Own" because you too can get to share and play those very same guitars - through a simple direct hire model. This is your way to enjoy a range of iconic guitars, without breaking the bank or tying yourself to a single guitar.
Just take a look at the many ways our hirers have made the most of the gear on offer to date:
Personal practice
Band practice
Home and studio recording
Live performance
Video shoots
Photo shoots
Film and theatre productions
Themed events and parties
Marriage proposals and weddings
And more . . .
More than a third of our hirers are visiting London from overseas, so if you just can't go without having a guitar during your stay, we're more than happy to help.
In the end, it's really down to your needs and imagination. Our promise to you is a high quality, end-to-end hire experience, with some of the most iconic guitars in the world.
Hirer Of The Month: Noah Kinehan
Big thanks - and a tiny bit of envy - to music student Noah Kinehan for this shot of him in session with this first-run 1996 Fender Jag-Stang. When I was growing up, music school meant a dusty conservatoires, filled with classically trained musicians and very different types of stringed instrument. Why would anyone want a school for modern-day instruments . . . like electric guitars? Nowadays, the options are abundant, the teaching tied into today rather than yesterday, and the students super-talented - not just as musicians, but as savvy professionals that know the industry and how it works for (and against) them. A fabulous opportunity, if one I'm well passed. But still an absolute joy to share the collection with music students as they develop and share their talent. Especially if it's to channel a bit of Kurt Cobain, with this beautiful sonic blue Jag-Stang from the first year of production, 1996. I know Fender have just released a 30th anniversary version to mark the original release of Nevermind, but why spend a fortune, when you could hire a first-run original here? ;-) If you want a touch of its magic yourself, see and hear more of it here.
