Classic 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, 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: Talk House

They're back!  Great to see Tokyo's finest, Talk House, back in the UK.  A two-stop tour, starting with Mr Wolf's in Bristol and ending with a triumphant return to The Dublin Castle where they first played more than 18 months ago in January 2025.  Masters of high energy guitar-based indie rock back then - and many of the rock god poses that go with that - the buzz, the crowds, and the moshpits have definitely got bigger in the intervening time!  One of the hardest-working bands I've had the pleasure of meeting, and a delight to kit them out with gear for their explosive shows! 

The band hired exactly the same guitars as they did for their debut in 2025 - loved them so much the first time, no need to change this second time.  So it was the 1982 Fender Precision for Lou and the 2011 Fender Graham Coxon Telecaster for Keito.  Which was the perfect excuse for the band to treat The Dublin Castle crowd to a roof-raising cover of Blur's Song 2 on the final night.  So many boxes ticked, a no-brainer for September's Hirer Of The Month!  Woo hoo!

Camera - Colour Telly

1974 Gibson Ripper L9-S

1997 Fender 62 Jazzmaster

South East London's finest, Colour Telly, with latest single Camera, released on 7 August 2026, and as hot and sultry as the day outside.

Ollie & Evie from the band both get to pose with the 62 Jazzmaster, while Ollie sits and lies with the 74 Ripper Bass.  Ollie's been hiring for more than 4 years now, always wanting to push boundaries with the guitars and pedals he hires.  Always something special.  Back in 2023 he used the Ripper for some high neck chords on the magical and beautifully entrancing Nobody Knows.  This time the Ripper and the Jazzmaster are just for show - and yet still play their small cameos with cool assurance. 
2006 Gibson Hummingbird, Anjela Rose

Anjela Rose

2006 Gibson Hummingbird

"WARNING: Serious risk of falling in love with this guitar."  It happens every time.  One of the most hirer-posted guitars - sometimes just on its own - this 2006 Gibson Hummingbird has the power to turn heads and hearts, with US singer/songwriter Anjela Rose the latest to fall under its spell.

Over in London for her first time, and inspired by her experiences to write new material, sounds like Anjela couldn't have chosen a more compatible companion than the Hummingbird for a perfect long weekend.  Can't wait to hear the results!

Tourist Mind

Miss Grit

2016 Martin LX-1

A beautifully stripped-down version of Tourist Mind by Miss Grit‬, at Rough Trade Bristol.  Part of a short promotional tour with label Mute Records in August 2026 - alternating between electric and acoustic sets.
  
Many thanks to Eve at Mute Records for sharing the short clip, and for hiring the 2016 Martin LX-1 as Miss Grit's acoustic for the tour.  It may be a smaller-bodied guitar - but it's a Martin guitar.  Just love how much tone comes through in support of the vocal.  A perfect combination.
