"We needed an acoustic guitar at short notice for a community concert and found God's Own Guitars online; Iain was incredibly easy to liaise with to select a guitar, and to agree hire and collection dates/times. He was very knowledgeable about the model, swift to respond to emails, and all around straight forward - we would definitely use God's Own Guitars again, and highly recommend to anyone looking to hire good quality instruments with both a professional and personal service."

Robert "Throb" Young's

(Primal Scream)

1989 Gibson Les Paul Standard

. . . probably. Bought from Henry Olsen, bass guitarist with Primal Scream in the Screamadelica/Give Out But Don't Give Up years, a beautiful Les Paul Standard that keeps Robert Young's legacy alive.

Noel Gallagher Gibson B-45-12 N 1963

Noel Gallagher's (Oasis)

1963 Gibson B-45-12 N

Played extensively, if behind the scenes, during the Definitely Maybe and What's The Story? years, a gem of a guitar with a huge warm tone - not to mention one of the earliest of Gibson's B-45-12s.

Gibson Flying V Kirk Hammett 2012

2012 Gibson Custom Kirk Hammett Signature Flying V,

as played by Kirk Hammett

The Vaccines Danelectro Dead On 67 2009

Justin Young's (The Vaccines)
