Hirer Feedback
Don't take my word for it. This is what matters most!
"We hired this guitar for Keiji Haino's 3 day residency event in London this March. Keiji is very particular about the guitars he uses and how they were set up, and God's Own Guitars did a brilliant job preparing it exactly as specified. On top of that all the correspondence, delivery and pick up was on time and spot on. Thanks so much!"
Many thanks to Fielding at OTO Projects for arranging the hire of the 1989 Gibson SG 62 Reissue for Japanese multi-musician Keiji Haino. He wanted a particular set-up for the guitar, and pleased as punch all went to plan. Now into his 6th decade of live performance, and still one of the most extraordinary and innovative artists out there. Check out the video in the link to see the amazing things he does with an SG!

"It has been an incredible experience, whenever I need a guitar in London I will contact Iain. Personalized and very professional attention!"
I'm sure the incredible experience was more to do with Ismael and fellow bandmates in Spanish band Vecinos making their London debut in March 2024 - at latest hot venue Dream Bags & Jaguar Shoes. How great is that! A double hire, with fellow guitarist Miguel, pairing the Arctic White Stratocaster with the Metallic Blue Telecaster. Perfect neighbours ;-).

"Iain has very good material. He is a very professional person. We are going to recommend him to anyone who needs a guitar in London."
Many thanks to Miguel from Spanish band Vecinos, making their UK debut at Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes in London in March 2024. A joint hire with fellow guitarist Ismael - the perfect pairing of the Arctic White Stratocaster and Metallic Blue Telecaster.

"Iain was brilliant and very easy to rent with. Great communication, very accommodating and would 100% rent from him again!"
Not a guitar this time, but the truly versatile 2010 Peavey MAX 115 bass amp, hired by Stephen for an end-of-term school concert. Just one 15" speaker, but loaded with enough circuitry to give you anything from vintage boom to modern attack. Just what Stephen and his band needed!

"What a great guitar! The instrument itself is fab - great action and setup, controls all smooth and the pickups sound amazing. The hiring process was really easy - pickup and drop-off in London. Great experience all around, and now of course I'm looking for my own single cut guitar :D"
Mission accomplished! Big thanks to Dave for hiring the 60 Reissue Les Paul Goldtop. A dedicated Strat player, but wanted to try the competition for a week while in London. Loved it so much, he's now going to get his own! Can't blame him - that Goldtop plays and sounds amazing!

"The guitar is lovely, sounded great on recordings and handled different tunings really well. Iain is really communicative and it was an easy pickup. Would definitely recommend."
There's something about that Martin D-18VS - pretty much every time it goes out, it comes back with a different and very beautiful open tuning. This time, thanks very much to hirer Tim, for taking it out for a week's sessions in the studio, and returning it in an open Dsus4 tuning - lovely!

"I was very happy with the LX1. A great little guitar and excellent, prompt and reliable service from Iain. A pleasure to deal with."
Hirer Robin already has his own Little Martin, but wanted to keep his daily practice routine going while staying in London - so hired an exact match for the week, Alex Trimble's Little Martin. Seamless!

"Renting from Iain was a great experience, from handover to returning; everything went really well. We had tight timings for a music video and Iain showed up when required to deliver one of his beautiful guitars which we made sure to look after (and showcase) in the music video. Glad to have come across him and his wide collection of guitars, and will definitely be looking to hire again when in need."
And that guitar was the utterly classic Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty. Perfect for the video that hirer Sam and band The Curious were shooting at Tate Modern Tanks. Big thanks to Sam for casting the guitar, and guitarist Alex for rocking out with it. Can't wait to see the video!

"This Rickenbacker slaps! Perfectly balanced, beautiful sound. A lovely bass, nice and subby, makes a deep characterful vintage rickenbacker sound. I wish I owned this guitar. 10/10 would bass again xxx"
One of two classic basses taken into the studio by singer/songwriter Hatty Taylor. The 72 P-Bass for the wood and warmth, this Rickenbacker 4001 for the twang and attack. Looking forward to hearing the results!

"Wonderful bass ! Super characterful and woody in the nicest way. Can really hear it’s a beautiful tasteful vintage bass. Perfect for rockier tracks. Love it ! Xxx"
Big thanks to Hatty Taylor for taking this 1972 Fender Precision into the studio - all the classic tones of a 60s/70s P-Bass. A double-hire with the equally vintage 1974 Rickenbacker 4001. Only the release will tell which one came out on top!

"Fantastic service, a joy from start to finish. Everything was exactly as described, and the guitar's action and set-up were perfect. Thanks Iain will definitely use your service again."
Many thanks to Wayne, over in London for a week and wanting to try out something vintage and different. Step forward the early 1970s Epiphone EA-250 semi-acoustic - easy to hear both plugged and unplugged, perfect for a hotel room!
