Hirer Feedback
Don't take my word for it. This is what matters most!
"I had the pleasure of renting a Little Martin for two weeks from God’s Own Guitars while I was touristing in London. Iain delivered the guitar to my hotel at appointed time, explained everything I needed to know about the instrument and its care, and then promptly picked it up before we departed for the States. Iain was thoroughly professional and a delight to work with. The Little Martin had fabulous tone and was so fun to play. I give both Iain and God’s Own Guitars five gold stars. My experience could not have been better!"
That Little Martin working its magic again. It's a travel guitar - and lives up to its name as one of the most popular hires for travellers to the UK. Big thanks to Cathy from the US for the hire!

"Super easy, quick and no fuss. Iain is a legend and we'll definitely be coming back for other gear needs in the future!"
Thanks to Nora at record label/management company Leafy Outlook for hiring the classic Fender Twin Reverb for a showcase gig at London's Hoxton Hall - with featured artists Roo Panes and Beatenberg, a wonderful night.

"We rented this along with a couple of other guitars and amps from Iain for a film shoot. The experience was absolutely amazing - Iain is so helpful and accommodating, and the instruments themselves were gorgeous and so well looked after. Highly recommend!"
A great project to work on! Recreating a well-documented but little-known moment in shoegaze history with film-makers Peanut Rodriguez and Jenny Logan. Big reveal to follow when the film launches! And the first outing for Peter Hook's 1976 Thunderbird IV bass, alongside the 1988 Gibson ES-335, 2011 Graham Coxon Telecaster and a handful of amps. Looking forward to seeing the results!

"I wish I could give him 6 stars… everything amazing, the guitar was super regulated, the collection point is very easy to find, Iain is very punctual and friendly. I highly recommend this item for anyone who is interested in rent a guitar!!! Again thank you very much Iain!"
Generous praise from Winicius for the Les Paul Classic Goldtop. Delighted it rose to the challenge of tribute band Monsters Of Metal, shaking the rafters of The Cart & Horses in Stratford . . . the same venue that Iron Maiden made their name in in the 1970s!

"Wonderful. Wonderful service, wonderful guitar and wonderful clarity. I couldn't have been more delighted with the service Iain, God's Own Guitars, provided when hiring the 1963 Gibson for a film and stills shoot for The Ivy. Everything went very smoothly indeed. Thank you."
Big thanks to Portland Mitchell for hiring two Gibson beauties for cameo appearances in a shoot for the Ivy Restaurant Group. A 1963 J-160E and a 1993 Gibson J-200 - supermodels!

"Can you play jazz on a Jazzmaster? Yes (Joe Pass did also). Is this better than my Squire 40th ann vintage jm? Yes. it's a beautiful guitar, very playable and great sound, very versatile and as a pure solo instrument hard to beat. Again service from godsownguitars is fantastic. Thanks again!"
The second of the pair of guitars that Edward hired for his trip to London, the 62 Reissue Jazzmaster. And not only jazz, but surf too. Check out the link to hear him playing.

"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.
