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: Stella Matteoni
Hats off to singer, songwriter and vocal arranger Stella Matteoni for bagging this month's Hirer Of The Month. With stiff competition from the likes of singer/songwriter Ray Williams opening up for the legendary Pamela Des Barres, Nordic metal merchants Viking Queen making their double-headline UK debut, and Australian soul groovers Daste touring the UK and Europe, it was always going to be a tough choice. But this is absolutely irresistible.
On top of her own compositions, Stella has a wonderful talent for bringing new life to classic covers, lifting them to another place with beautifully layered harmonies. And accompanying each with an inventive and playful video. Check out more from her on YouTube @StellaMatteoni.
This one is no exception. The Hollies' Bus Stop given the Stella Matteoni treatment. It's all about the arrangement and delivery, but a delight to have Stella featuring this 2006 Martin D-18VS throughout the recording and video. The VS stands for Vintage Series, so this takes you back to the birth of the first Martin dreadnoughts in the 1930s, with its flatter, wider fretboard and 12-fret neck. Light as a feather, with classic Martin tone and projection, the absolute business. And the perfect companion for a retro reboot!

Sean Genockey's 2016 Millman
Dreadnought, Natural,
played by James Dean Bradfield
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', 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!
