Hirer Feedback
Don't take my word for it. This is what matters most!
"Wow! Amazing guitar!! Thanks to Iain! Great job - great guitars.🔥🔥🔥Great Service. Yeah!"
It's that Arctic White Strat working its magic again! Visiting from Germany, Michael loved it so much, I found him still playing it when we met for the return, entertaining the passersby at London's Victoria Station! Rock N Roll :-)

"After Iain saved the day with a Gibson Hummingbird for Kyle Daniel (after BA damaged his own guitar), Shy Carter from Nashville requested a Stratocaster for his band's performance at the Nashville Meets London Festival. This Black Strat was the answer so much so that Shy's guitarist Adam wanted to keep the guitar. Iain is a pleasure to work with and his overall service and care of the guitars is excellent. Look no further than God's Own Guitars!"
The second of two hires for the 2022 Nashville Meets London festival - and thanks again to Peter Conway Management for the trust. This time a 70s Black Strat for Adam, guitarist with headline star Shy Baldwin. Loved it so much, he wanted to take it home with him!

"Iain is the man! Prompt, professional and came through in a pinch when my guitar was broken on the way to London on this last tour. This Gibson Hummingbird played like a DREAM! Iain made sure that the guitar was set up properly, as I play a half step down with a lot of capo songs, so it’s very easy to hear when the guitar hasn’t been cared for. I can tell you first hand that Iain knows exactly what he’s doing when setting up a guitar! I will absolutely be using him for any needs moving forward!!! Thanks for saving the day!!!"
Couldn't be happier to help out US country star Kyle Daniel in his hour of need - the opening show of the 2022 Nashville Meets London festival went without a hitch, with the 2006 Gibson Hummingbird doing everything it needed to do. Not only a country star, but a lovely man too!

"Iain is now my 'go-to' person if I need a guitar to hire. Singer Kyle Daniel from Nashville arrived in the UK with a damaged guitar courtesy of BA. One call to Iain resolved our pressing need for a similar guitar so Kyle could perform that night in London. A beautiful guitar with a great sound - loved by Kyle! And Iain is easy to deal with, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. A real find!"
When the worst possible thing happens . . . US country star Kyle Daniel arrived in the UK only to find the neck had broken in transit on his vintage Gibson. Thanks to global music management and promotions company Peter Conway Management for picking up the Bat-Phone and getting a lovely Gibson Hummingbird into Kyle's hands for the opening night of the 2022 Nashville Meets London festival. Privileged to be able to help!

"Had the best experience with Iain! Guitar and all the accessories were in perfect condition and and came with instructions which were very helpful, so much attention to details and you could see he’s a pro when it comes to his instruments and how much care he puts into it. It was my first time hiring a guitar for my 11yeat-old son and we couldn’t be happier, will definitely use Iain’s services again. Thank you for your encouragement and help!"
A future guitar god in the making - no better way to do it than with a vintage Gibson Flying V'90 in glorious Nuclear Yellow!

"Had an amazing hire experience with Iain. His communication was timely and to the point, you can really tell he has been doing this for a while as he thought of all the little details and made the process super easy. We had one happy teenager with a very special guitar. Everything was packed nicely and had few extra bits that one would need. Thank you Iain! Will use your services again."
If there's one guitar that's going to put a smile on a teenager's face, it's a Nuclear Yellow Flying V :-). One pick-up, 24 frets, Steinberger whammy, super-low action, no regrets. School holiday activities, done!

"Iain was such a pleasure communicating with and so accommodating with the rental. Guitar was in performance condition, great and incredibly cared for collection. Best service in london! Would recommend 100/10."
Just great to be able to help out Nashville/LA singer-songwriter Austin Max on the London leg of his European tour in August. Check out the video in the link to hear a Ricky at its mellowest, beautifully played!

"Rental was very easy and the guitar was absolutely beautiful with brand new strings. Iain was really easy to communicate with, friendly and helpful. Will definitely hire from him again!"
Self-proclaimed Beatles-nerd Obadiah wanted to recreate a particular chord that introduces a famous song by The Beatles. I'll leave you to guess which one! For the chord, it had to be the 1989 Rickenbacker 330/12, all that ringing tone to bring in an instantly recognisable song . . . podcast to follow!

"All perfect, definitely recommended."
Italian jazz guitarist Lorenzo Morresi flew to London to record a session at Jazz FM, on the back of them naming latest release "Cosmica Italiana" their Album Of The Week. It may be a simple Mexican Tele, but the 1992 always delivers - even as a jazz guitar!

"We visited London for two weeks and rented this beautiful guitar from Iain so that my daughter could play while we were on extended holiday. Our experience was stellar from beginning to end. Iain responded to my inquiry the same day, and we were able to arrange a handoff at our hotel (which I especially appreciated because I was unfamiliar with London). The guitar came in mint condition, and Iain included accessories that were tremendously helpful. The pick-up was also equally seamless and easy. I so appreciated that we were able to borrow this beautiful instrument, and Iain was truly an amazing international ambassador of music for us. We would recommend renting from here without any hesitation, and we most certainly will do it again when we are back in London!"
Great pleasure to hire to Sejal during her family's stay in London - and to help her daughter keep up her practice while away from home. Again, the Yamaha LA-8 punches well above its weight. If you're visiting London and are missing your guitar, I'm more than happy to help . . . even without "International ambassador for music" as a new tagllne :-).

"Wow! Super convenient! Super nice to work with! Guitar sounded great! When I had a one week business trip to London I thought “wouldn’t it be great if I could rent a guitar for the week so I don’t miss any practice time”. Voila! There was Iain and godsownguitars once I did a Google search. Reasonable price. Security deposit returned to me immediately after returning the guitar. Fantastic service. Use these guys if you need a guitar they are great!"
There's not much to add to that! Thanks very much to Adam for hiring the Martin D-18VS while visiting London - a guitar that takes you right back to the 1930s, built with 21st Century craftsmanship!

"We hired this guitar for a Charity event in central London. Iain was so accommodating and made sure the guitar was with us and collected in plenty of time. A pleasure to deal with and can't recommend Iain highly enough! Thank you for making our life so much easier! "
It's not often you have a professional golfer hire your guitar, but turns out that John Daly is not only a player, but a country & western artist too. The 1993 J-200 was the perfect companion when he rounded off his speech at a golf charity event in London. Thanks so much to Sarah-Jane from Variety Golf for the hire!
