Hirer Feedback
Don't take my word for it. This is what matters most!
"Iain was lovely to work with from start to finish, and provided expert advice for the hire. The guitar is truly unique and was the perfect instrument for our production - sounding brilliant on stage and looking beautiful as a prop."
It's not every day the Royal Opera House casts an electric guitar in its productions. But this was a special moment - the world premiere of Last Days, an opera based around the final days of Kurt Cobain. Glowing reviews, and a cameo role that could only be taken by one guitar. A big thank you to Grace at the Royal Opera House for casting the Sonic Blue Jag-Stang in the production!

"Such a gorgeous sounding guitar! And Iain was amazing with delivery and pickup."
Staying in London for a couple of days on his way back to the States, Deren wanted to try a D-28 for the first time, and loved it! A vintage beauty from 1974, with that gorgeous tone that everyone who hires it falls in love with!

"Saved me while my Les Paul was out for repair for the better part of a month. Fantastic guitar and great service. Thanks Iain!"
A Mexican Arctic White Strat that can match a Les Paul. now that's something. Just what Tanuj needed while his Les Paul was in for repair. No surprises that this is one of our most popular hires!

"Thoroughly impressed with the service offered by Iain and the quality of the amp. She’s small but she is mighty! I needed something quite last minute to practice with before a gig and the booking, collection and return process was very straightforward. I won’t hesitate to recommend God’s Own Guitars to friends in future."
Thanks to Ballu for hiring the small but ever so mighty Fender Champion 110. An amp I've gigged with over the years - all the classic Fender tones, and an overdrive that will blow you away!

"We rented 2 guitars for a casting and all the musicians said what amazing guitars they were. Iain was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble."
But did they get the part? Over to Ilisa Richter Casting to answer that one. Just happy to be able to put a 1992 Telecaster and 1997 Yamaha LA-8 in the hands of some rising stars!

"What a fantastic bass and a real privilege to play."
A special moment. Secret Affair launch their Very Best Of album in an intimate gig at London's legendary 100 Club. Bass guitarist Edwin Pearson trades his double bass for the 1964 Hofner President, making its own debut on the 100 Club stage. A lovely man, and a lovely guitarist - just great to hear him making this vintage bass sound so good!

"Great practice amp. Perfect for hotel rooms and small apartments/lets. Sound is warm and full even at very low volume. and with booster for gain to get a little louder if necessary. Super light. Great all around!"
OK, it's never going to fill Wembley Stadium, but for at home/hotel practice, the 10W Marshall G-10 packs a punch. Thanks very much to Howard for the hire - and the patience of those in adjoining rooms ;-).

"The guitar was amazing and Iain was incredibly helpful. He even offered to personally setup the guitar since our band plays in D standard."
No better way to make your UK debut than with the iconic Epiphone Union Jack Supernova. Which is exactly what Bulgarian band Panic Station did for their first London gig at Roadtrip & The Workshop in September 2022. Big things to come!

"Great service. I needed a bass fast, Iain sorted me out. Met me at the station for collection and drop off. Very professional. Deposit returned promptly. Very satisfied, highly recommended and will be my first port of call next time. Thanks, Iain."
Great to have the vintage 76 Jazz Bass out for a big band open-air gig. Thanks very much to Ger for the hire.

"Great guitar - low action, flat fretboard …just great to play lead with. Tone was rich and full. Would definately be interested in expanding my relationship with Ibanez."
Just how it should be - try before you buy! Thanks to Joe for taking on the 1976 Ibanez Destroyer. A killer guitar, and the start of a new relationship!

"Iain is a very friendly and flexible bloke, provided us a great little amp for a gig at my birthday - 10/10 would use again. Thanks."
If you've got a big milestone birthday coming up and want to relive part of your younger days, there's no better plan than putting on a gig. Which is exactly what Freddie did for his 30th, bringing a classic noughties Marshall amp into the backline. Days of glory!

"I have hired last minute this vintage guitar for one our VIP guest. Communication with Iain was very seamless and paper work are very clear. Guest was so happy with the guitar and loved it. Guest even post playing the guitar in the Instagram. Highly recommended."
Thanks to concierge Mario at Nobu Portman Square for arranging the hire of the vintage Martin D-28. I'm still intrigued to know who that mystery VIP guest is, but full respect to Mario for maintaining guest confidentiality!

"Great gear and top guy. Iain is doing great things for London music!"
Thanks to Pete for hiring the Arctic White Strat and Fender Champion 110 for some demos with his band. Honestly, it's the musicians that hire that are doing great things for music, but I'm flattered and honoured to play a small part!

"Iain is always so good at responding even very last minute! He really saved us for our last tour!"
Great to hire to Tummyache's Soren Bryce once again. One of the hardest working bands I know, and a tip for the top! A repeat hire for the 2000 Marshall G-30R amp. It may be small, but it's very mighty!
