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: Kayati
Congratulations to Maltese sister-duo Kayati on taking the first Hirer Of The Month award for 2026. And they might even have made the December 2025 award were it not for the unbeatable late entry of guitarist and author Ted Beesley celebrating his 80th birthday with a 1964 Harmony Rocket. Hard to beat, and impossible to resent!
But made it they now have, and rightly so. Early participants in Malta's inaugural X-Factor in 2018/2019, the sisters have refined and enhanced their song-writing and delivery ever since, with soaring harmonies that put you in mind of Wilson Phillips at their very best, Just magical, It was only a question of time before they made their UK debut. And that time came towards the end of last year when they appeared for a showcase gig at Haggerston's Signature Brew. A stripped-down acoustic only set, giving the perfect platform for their voices to shine through. Check out the clip above of their recent single Tell Your Mama and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Truly wonderful!
They were joined on stage by producer and guitarist Peter Borg. Peter has his own collection of classic guitars in Malta, including a 1970s Hummingbird. But, like many others, he chose to hire in London rather than take on the expense and risk of bringing one of his own guitars from Malta. He had nothing to worry about - and he loved the 2006 Gibson Hummingbird, hired for the night. So much so that he even posted his own picture of the guitar pre-show. And why not? It's as much as a looker as it is a player, and did its job perfectly for Peter and the sisters. This will not be the last time we hear from them, I'm sure!

FIXED! Ibanez SR305EB 5-String Bass
Need A Set-up/Light Maintenance?
Happy To Help!
Thanks to Aswad for bringing his Ibanez SDGR SR305EB 5-String Bass in for a check-up. Mainly to fix some loose electrics, plus a full set-up. All sorted now. Lovely bass, with one of the lowest, buzz-free actions I've ever played!
No surprise, but I do spend many a happy hour doing set-ups and maintenance for all the guitars in the collection. So it's always nice to get under the hood of someone else's guitar. And, if I can't fix things myself, happy to put you in contact with the next level pros that have helped me over the years. If you've got problems with your guitar and want me to take a look or just chat through the problems, click Contact to call or email!
1979 Fender Stratocaster
Tuomas Hokkanen, Airi's
Abbey Road Studios
OK, you'd have to be a proper studio geek to recognise the location from the carpets and wood flooring - though I'd put money on there being a chosen few out there that might just get it right without clues.
For the rest of us, big thanks to returning Finnish band Airi's for the big reveal, as they make their debut at legendary Abbey Road Studios! Lead guitarist Tuomas Hokkanen hired his favourite guitar from the collection for the session, the weighty powerhouse that is the 1979 Black Strat. Joined by the 1982 Fender Precision and 2000 Epiphone Union Jack Supernova (when in Abbey Road, of course), the results are going to be immense! I can feel a Hirer Of The Month coming on . . .
FOR SALE!
2009 Epiphone 'Oh, Pretty Woman' FT-112 Bard 12-String
If you've ever fancied a gorgeous high quality 12-string acoustic, this could be the one for you! A brief run Roy Orbison signature model, replicating the 1962 Epiphone FG-112 Bard that he composed and played 'Oh, Pretty Woman' on - and many other of his songs.
Plays beautifully and sounds great, balanced across all 12 strings, with the higher octave notes ringing through clearly. A nice low set-up, it's as easy for picking as for strumming. And, added bonus, 'Oh, Pretty Woman' isn't the only song that sounds great on this big-bodied 12-string!
Just making room for new additions to the collection, and offering this one for its next happy home. Listed on eBay, or just click Contact to chat!
