Hirer Feedback
Don't take my word for it. This is what matters most!
"Was able to rent this Fender Toronado from Iain on very short notice. He was nothing but accommodating and forward in communication and he was lovely and professional from the first step through the last. I was also able to request a few extra things, such as a special tuning and a drop off/pick-up situation that was suited to my busy schedule. The guitar itself was in absolutely pristine condition and the instrument itself is just beautiful. It held up well with my preferred lower tuning and was not sensitive to the travel I did with it. 10/10 would hire from God's Own again!"
First time out for the gloriously orange Fender Toronado, and a big one. Many thanks to Austrian singer/songwriter Veronika, aka FARCE, for the hire for her mini-tour of the UK, taking in Wombats City, The Great Escape, and The Old Blue Last in May 2023. The future is orange!

"Iain provides a wonderful service & fantastic guitars. Easy to deal with and look forward to hiring again! Jonny."
Big thanks to Jonny from Hardwicke Circus for hiring the 1993 Gibson J-200 for a special night. A live acoustic set for the band at the Pizza Express Live venue in Holborn. Filmed for video, recorded for a live album, and featuring Jonny with this lovely J-200. Looking forward to seeing and hearing the results!

"Iain is a great guy, super easy to communicate with and very accommodating. Would definitely recommend and hire from again. 10/10."
Thanks to John Kye for casting the utterly photogenic Epiphone EA-250 in one of his latest shoots. A big video, with band and full string section. Looking forward to seeing the results!

"Very professional service, amazing guitars and all around easy going dealing with this amazing guy. Get your guitars here!"
Thanks to Thomas from Finnish band Airi's, making their London debut at Soho's St Moritz Club on 12 May 2023 - with a 1979 Black Strat and 1997 62 Reissue Jazzmaster hired for guitarists Tuomas and Joni. Always great to be able to help out with a UK debut!

"I could not have asked for a better experience. Iain was so kind and punctual, and the guitar sounded so great. I will definitely rent from him again in the future!!!"
Thanks to Ignacio for hiring the Yamaha FG-411 12-string. Always punches above its weight, and this time as an addition to one of Ignacio's VHS remaster projects. Not sure I understand that until I see it, but looking forward to it!

"We hired the Martin for a client to be used throughout a several month long recording session. The guitar played fantastically and was a favourite of our client. Iain was a pleasure to work with, being flexible with our changing schedule and I would highly recommend both this guitar and service."
Big thanks to Tom and the studio for the hire of the Martin D-18VS. Obviously I can't say who the artist was, but they're big - and something to listen out for on their next album. That D-18 will just ring through!

"Excellent guitar. In beautiful condition and really well set up! Also, a great experience dealing with Iain through the whole process!"
It doesn't go out often, but when it does, it really does. Jazz player Joe wanted something special for a night session at a curated art exhibition, and chose the guitar inspired by one of the all time jazz greats, a 1969 Gibson Barney Kessel Regular. Big thanks to Joe for giving this one some air!

"Iain is the kindest and most understanding man possible. Through all my personal misfortune he was there to help. What a guy. 11/10 look no further, this is exactly what you're looking for."
When your baggage gets lost on the way over from the States, at least there's always your dream guitar. 1993 Gibson J-200 to the rescue when Matthew's days in London were otherwise messed up by chasing his lost baggage. Only a Gibson is good enough!

"The amp sounded fantastic and Iain couldn't have done more for us to make it all happen within a short time period. I'd fully recommend God's Own Guitars to anyone - top quality service!"
I've never hired to a cellist before - to be fair, until now, I'd never had a cellist get in touch . . . But this was a special occasion. A wedding ceremony, with a solo cellist looking to build on tones with a Fender Twin Reverb. I never knew, but it's not just guitars that sound great through a Twin Reverb! Thanks very much to Jody for the hire.

"This guitar was a treat! Had it for a week on a recent trip to London and really enjoyed the sound. Iain was stellar – punctual, accommodating, friendly, reliable, flexible – truly excellent service all around! Would recommend and will use the service again next time I am in town."
Another hirer falling in love with that Yamaha LA-8. Matt was over for a week visiting London, but didn't want to break his practice routine. The LA-8 was the perfect companion.

"Thanks to God's Own Guitars for the hire of 3 gorgeous classic guitars for our music clip collaboration. The service was straightforward & professional."
Big thanks to award-winning film and TV production designer Nicki Gardiner for the hire of three vintage classics for a video shoot with a well-known band. The 62 Reissue SG, 60 Reissue Les Paul Goldtop, and 92 Telecaster photogenic as ever!

"Excellent communication, the bass was perfect, well priced and just generally an extremely positive experience."
Great little project to help multi-instrumentalist Ollie in his search for an elusive bass sound. A bass a day - from a Rickenbacker 4001 to a Fender Jazz to this Gibson Ripper, sonically the most versatile with its unique varitone and tone control system. Got there in the end!
