Hirer Feedback
Don't take my word for it. This is what matters most!
"The guitar was beautifully tuned to our specific needs on the day and sounded really good! The service over the phone that Iain provided was top-notch, from offering us an array of guitars from the off to handling delivery to us personally and talking me through all of the equipment. I would definitely recommend renting any guitar equipment from Iain and will be in touch if we need another guitar!"
Always in tuned with specific needs :-). Great to be able to help Mike at digital content creators Little Dot Studios with a client campaign shoot. Hitting the socials in July, a special request for a non-branded guitar, fulfilled with some judiciously applied masking tape. I know. Intriguing. So, what guitar could possibly pull off such an impressive transformation??? Just click the link to see.

"Fast and efficient service, Iain is friendly and accommodating to professional musicians with top notch equipment at an affordable price!"
No, not a new ad campaign (though I should think about it . . ). Just some very kind feedback from Gabe F-T, after hiring the 2007 AER Compact 60/2 for a performance at Burgh House in North London. Gabe used the Compact 60/2 to lift his voice above the startling power of a baby grand. Did the job.

"Immensely satisfied with my rental of the Gibson Les Paul Goldtop. This guitar was in amazing condition and sounded incredible. The pick-up and delivery of the equipment was smooth sailing as Iain was very easy to contact and even kept an eye on our tour around Europe. I can't wait to play this again in the future when I'm touring the UK."
Big thanks to Callum from Australian band Daste for hiring the very special 1996 Les Paul Classic Goldtop for their UK & Europe tour in May & June 2025. Taking in UK festivals Footsteps, Dot2Dot and Cross The Tracks, and headline slots in Paris, Amsterdam, Hamburg & Berlin, just an amazing adventure! And a real honour to have the Goldtop take the stage with Callum throughout. It really is one lovely guitar!

"Great communication and fantastic instrument!"
Ticks the boxes :-). Many thanks to Varvara at Odyxxey for hiring the 1992 Fender Telecaster for Italian singer/songwriter Heith's headline slot at Club Cheek in Brixton. A low-lit gig, an atmospheric sonic experience, this Tele takes it all in its stride.

"Great service, very quick to respond for a last minute fashion shoot! The guitar was the perfect addition for an authentic Oasis prop, which really made the picture. We look forward to hiring from Gods Own Guitars in the future."
There aren't many guitars more suited as an authentic Oasis prop than the 2002 Epiphone Union Jack Supernova. Delighted to be able to help Alun out at short notice for the shoot. Soon to appear in August's edition of Tatler, and released just in time for a certain band's residency at Wembley Stadium. Rock And Roll Star!

"Absolute beauty. Very smooth and easy rental from Iain who was very helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend."
Just one of four truly great vintage guitars hired by Adam at Etwood Guitar Straps for a photoshoot to showcase his gorgeous vintage-inspired straps. The straps are the stars, but the 1956 Gibson Les Paul Junior, 1962 Epiphone Coronet, 1965 Gibson J-45 and 1969 Gibson EB-3 all played their supporting parts with flair and grace. Cannot wait to see the results!

"Great service, great guitars. Iain was very polite and helpful. Definitely going to use his service again!"
Ilia's day job is as lead guitarist with ethnic death/thrash metal band Concrete Age. But he doesn't let that stop a little guilty pleasure moonlighting with tribute band Crazy Little Thing Called Queen. Only one guitar was going to do the job - the 2005 BMG Red Special, the only companion for a prescribed dose of Brian May at The Robin in Wolverhampton in May.

"A fantastic guitar for beginners! The rental process was smooth and straightforward, and Iain was incredibly helpful throughout."
Gia has started the journey! She wanted to learn to play the guitar, hired Alex Trimble's Little Martin, and in just two weeks she's hooked. It's a love that will last a lifetime . . . and I say that from experience ;-).

"Fantastic bass, and super service. Easy, reliable, professional and accommodating. I couldn’t be happier with the rental."
When you're making your double-headline debut in the UK, you've got to go big! So chapeau to Thomas from Norwegian metal band Viking Queen for giving the vintage 1976 Fender Jazz Bass two stages in one day - at legendary venues The Fiddler's Elbow and Iron Maiden birthplace The Cart & Horses. Rock and roll will never die!

"Very nice gentleman with great service. And for the amp, absolutely bargain for the quality. Thanks Iain."
And to hirer Stephen, also a very nice gentleman, many thanks for the hire of the ever-reliable, ever-versatile 2010 Peavey MAX 115 bass amp for Sunday service. Church services are a lot more fun than the ones I used to go to as a child ;-).

"Great hiring experience! Iain was really kind, communication was smooth, and pickup and return were very easy. The Martin D-18VS was beautiful, in excellent condition, and sounded fantastic! 100% recommend."
Many thanks to singer/songwriter and producer Stella Matteoni, casting the 2006 Vintage Series Martin D-18 in her latest video. A wonderful multi-harmony version of The Hollies' Bus Stop. Sounds amazing! One to watch!

"The Hummingbird had new strings and it sounded absolutely gorgeous. I was very pleased with this rental. It's good for the soul."
Hats off to Bay area singer/songwriter Ken Voorheis, returning home and taking a one-night stopover in London to play at the Ruskin House Folk & Blues Club Open Mic in Croydon. He has his own Hummingbird back in San Francisco, but loved this one more! Like he says, "It's good for the soul" 😇

"Great vintage bass, looks cool and works perfectly! Iain has a wonderful collection of amazing instruments and the service is always extremely professional and super friendly. 100% would recommend!"
Great to have Finnish band Airis back in London - a triumphant return to The Dublin Castle on 5 May 2025. A second hire for the 2006 Fender Stratocaster for Tuomas (loves it so much, he's hired it twice), and first-time hires for the 1992 Fender Telecaster for Joni (as much for its colour-match as its classic tones), and the vintage 1974 Gibson Ripper L9-S for new bass guitarist Juho - grinning from ear to ear!

"Iain was such a huge help getting us all geared up for our Netflix series. He has a great selection of interesting guitars and was so flexible with our schedule. Would 100% use again for our next project. Thanks so much."
Not just any Netflix series, but the 7th season of Black Mirror. And not just any episode, but the feature-length sequel, USS Callister: Into Infinity. I knew as soon as I heard the line "Want me to say the guitar stuff again?" :-). Big thanks to Jeff at Broken Bones for the hire! The 1977 Gibson ES-335TD, 1979 Fender Black Strat, 1992 Fender Telecaster, and Marshall G10 MK II amp loved their time on camera!

"Needed this for a quick audition recording, and the hiring process was ridiculously fast, efficient and friendly! Deposit was returned straight away. Thanks Iain!"
Great to have professional guitarist and guitar teacher Rory Mann hiring the ever-dependable 1994 Yamaha FG-411 12-string for his audition recording. A famous West End show . . . fingers crossed for Rory!
