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 are Artist Owned or Made Famous By the Gods - 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: The Preservation Room Orchestra
An absolute treat! The Preservation Room Orchestra recreate Portishead’s utterly beautiful Glory Box, nearly 30 years on from its first release. Back in May, London videographer John Kye hired a guitar for a one-day video shoot. He didn’t give much away at the time, but started sending through teaser stills from the shoot last month, and just released this video at the start of November. Just a wonderful rendition of the spine-tingling original, performed by a hugely talented a full 9-piece band, or, I should probably say, orchestra. John directed and produced the shoot himself, and joins the band on the keyboards on the track. A multi-talented video guy, with a great portfolio to match. See more at John Kye Video Guy.
Don’t be fooled by the cover photo. I haven’t moved into the hire of other stringed instruments. Guitar duties for the shoot are performed by the guitarist only known as GOAT, and it’s the early-70s Epiphone EA-250 that he plays. To be fair, the music was recorded separately, so it’s not the EA-250 you’re hearing live, but it suits the shoot's composition perfectly. And with close-ups aplenty, you really wouldn’t know the difference. One of the most iconic of those early Japanese Epiphones, famous in the hands of other icons Robert Smith and Noel Gallagher, why not give it a try here!
