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.
Hirers Of The Month: Sarah Crean & Talkhouse
Ending 2024 on a high, kicking off 2025 with a bang! The last gig of 2024 and the first of 2025. Irish singer/songwriter Sarah Crean making her headline debut at London's Paper Dress Vintage on 10 December and Tokyo indie guitar band Talkhouse making their debut at the legendary Dublin Castle on 2 January.
I first met Sarah when she recorded a session for Waterloo Sunset's PRIDE 22 series in April 2022. A wonderful set, including first single Show Me Nuance, and very clearly just the start of something big. So a real pleasure to be able to catch up and help her out at her first headline show in London just before Christmas. With full band, and her own Jazzmaster for most of the set, Sarah hired a 62 Reissue Fender Jaguar for a couple of songs in open tuning (clever!) - including single and new crowd favourite "Nosebleeds". She's in the studio recording her first album in 2025 - it's going to be a very big year for her!
Tokyo-based Talkhouse are new to me, but in many ways so familiar - blending their Japanese musical heritage with the sounds of bands like The Strokes and Blur, they serve up a unique set of upbeat anthems in the making. Not even the first working day of the year could stop a packed audience loving it. Band members Keito and Hikaru hired the perfect pairing of a 2011 Fender Graham Coxon Telecaster and 1982 Fender Precision for the gig. I'm sure we're going to see a lot more of them this year!
Ignore the doom merchants - the guitar band is well and truly kicking! Just get out there and see some live in 2025!
What's New
Three gorgeous beauties, the newest additions to the collection, ready for you to hire now. Click the image to see more about each, or hit Hire A Guitar, Hire An Amp or Hire A Pedal to see everything on offer!
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!
1972 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe,
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!
1990 Gretsch 7594 White Falcon,
White Duco,
For Goths, Rockers & Lovers
