Hirer Feedback
Don't take my word for it. This is what matters most!
"Lovely guitar, very playable, and the service is fantastic. Will definitely come to London more often just because of this!"
Hopefully not the only reason, but great to help jazz guitarist Edward out on his trip to London with a cross-compare of a 1977 ES-335 and 1997 62 Reissue Jazzmaster. And it's a tie!

"The Hummingbird was a great option to have during our recording session. It gives you a particular feel and tone that is great to have when you are going through ideas, getting inspired, writing and recording. It performed very well all around. Can't recommend Iain enough."
Big thanks to Javier at 5dB Studios for the hire of the Gibson Hummingbird, and a couple of other classics, for the recording sessions of a much anticipated third album . . . can't wait to hear the results!

"Hired this guitar for a gig and couldn’t have had a better time playing it and working with Iain! Everything was flawless!! Thank you so much!!!"
US singer/songwriter and actress Kathryn Gallagher needed a guitar to match the greatness of her voice for an intimate gig in London's LAYLOW. Over to the big-toned Martin D-35 to do everything it needed to do!

"Great service, beautiful instruments, and all the accessories you need. We were able to have a fun group jam session at our conference with minimal worry about the logistics. I highly recommend if you are ever in need of guitars in London. Thanks Iain!"
Philanthropy. And guitars. Thanks to Chad for hiring the 1997 Yamaha LA-8 to bring something different to The Philanthropy Workshop's annual conference in London.

"Been wanting to hire this beauty for ages and when I finally got my hands on it the other week I was not disappointed!! Hired it for a video shoot as it looks absolutely stunning, but had time for a quick noodle back home and it played as good as it looks! As always with Iain the whole hiring experience was smooth and effortless with the guitar arriving all prepped and in immaculate condition - can't wait to use GOG for future upcoming video shoots :)"
The Dust Coda. New Wave Of Classic Rock. New album ready to launch. It could only be a classic Flying V for the first video. Thanks to guitarist Adam for coming back to hire the V98. Can't wait to see the video!

"Iain was brilliant to deal with and went above and beyond throughout. And the guitar was excellent. Highly recommended."
Love is . . . a Rickenbacker 330, delivered on Valentine's Day, and played every day for a week. Thanks to Helen for arranging the best Valentine's Day present - a perfect surprise for a delighted boyfriend.

"Iain is a true professional and very experienced lender. The amp was in perfect condition and Iain is very organised and responsive. Highly recommend."
Thanks to events organiser Tim at Groove Empire for hiring the classic Fender Twin Reverb for a band reunion celebration in London. All original members in their 60s, all still rocking!

"Fantastic lender on all levels: communication, competence, safety to name a few. Would hire again. A++"
Thanks to Greg for hiring the 1983 TS/9 Tube Screamer. He'd done a lot of research on which Tube Screamer he needed for his studio session, and it had to be the 1983 with that legendary JRC4558D chip! A 40-year-old pedal for an amazing synthesis of choir, guitar and electronica!

"This was hired for recording, after 2 failed attempts with 2 different guitars! :) We were so pleased with the sound of this excellent guitar, absolutely zero problems with tuning. Beautiful instrument. Iain was super helpful, thanks very much!"
Thanks to producer/engineer Chris at 113 Studio for hiring this always reliable Martin D-35P for his session with singer/songwriter Maria Marchione (aka Meri). Big sound and perfect intonation. It's a Martin!

"Lovely guitar at a surprisingly reasonable price. Really felt this added a touch of class to our gig. Plus Iain's a friendly helpful guy. Thoroughly recommended. First choice any time I need to hire a guitar or amp in future."
Chris and his band Skylarks were on the line-up at Clapham's Bread & Roses, and needed the real-deal for a cover of Mr Tambourine Man (and other jangly classics!). It could only be the Rickenbacker 330/12!

"Rented the guitar for a few days and delivery and drop off was quick. He was also very responsive which is great when you’re traveling and sometimes plans change by the hour! Would definitely recommend to any musician in need of gear."
US singer/songwriter Christina Li making the most of her time in the UK with Alex Trimble's ever-popular Little Martin. Great tone for such a small guitar - but that's Martin guitars for you!

"Hired this guitar for my friend and bandmate's birthday show. It was a real hit and a delight to play. It sounded wonderful. Iain was also great to deal with. I look forward to hiring from him again. "
If you're hiring for a birthday gig, nothing better than a Les Paul Goldtop. I don't know who the birthday boy was, but he's got a special friend in Nathan who arranged the hire!
