Hirer Feedback
Don't take my word for it. This is what matters most!
"Great service and great price. Hired the Gibson hummingbird for a gig in London and it played like a dream. Worked out cheaper and handier than buying an extra plane seat for a guitar. "
Irish singer/songwriter Joshua Burnside, on a one-stop gig at London's Old Blue Last, hiring a beautiful Gibson Hummingbird - and saving money by not flying his own guitar over! Another benefit of hiring when you're visiting London ;-).

"Stunning guitar, such a pleasure to play, and Iain is wonderful. Will definitely be coming back!"
Top session guitarist Brydon Hulse gives the 1993 Gibson J-200 top marks. Brydon was called in to support US country star Ingrid Andress at an intimate pop-up gig in London in July. Just her, him and the guitar. It really is a stunner!

"Amp was in great condition, and sounded fantastic. Iain was really helpful and accommodating, and would be delighted to hire from him again."
Classic Fender tones from the 62 Reissue Fender Twin Reverb - just what James needed for his gig in South London in July. And a looker too.
Apparently, the blonde finish matched both his Strat and his shirt!

"Iain was really helpful and responsive and was able to get me a much needed Strat in record time (same day) for a jam session that day. Very professional service and the guitar was perfect! Thanks again."
With friends in from the US, Adeel needed a guitar quickly for a jam session. The Arctic White Strat worked perfectly! I can't always do short notice hires, but it's just great when they work out!

"Had the absolute pleasure of using this stunning instrument during a week long studio session for a new album - it gave me everything I hoped for and more. Amazing tones and clarity, and came to me in impeccable condition and set up as is always the case with Iain. Will definitely keep an eye out for one of these for my personal collection!"
This 2011 Graham Coxon Telecaster always punches well above its weight. And it's perfect if you're more used to a rosewood fretboard on your guitar. Thanks again to Adam Mackie, The Dust Coda guitarist, for including it in the recording of their latest album. It's going to be mega!

"First time I have used this guitar and I hope won't be the last - what a treat! Hired it for a week long studio session making an album and it really stood out as a stunner. Amazing tone and clarity which was an absolute pleasure to play. As always, it arrived in fantastic condition and set up just to my liking :)"
Great to have The Dust Coda guitarist, Adam Mackie, gives this vintage Martin D-28 some time in the studio. Can't wait to hear the results when the album's released!

"The guitar looks even better in real life - could say brand new - amazing sound and portability! Couldn't have asked for a better option for our uni showcase. Fabulous service from Iain, provided us with everything we needed (a pickup for amplification!) and was very flexible with meeting times as I worked around my lab schedule. Very much looking forward to hiring a guitar again! A final positive note: it's affordable for students!
Alex Trimble's Little Martin once again working its magic, this time for a student showcase gig in London. And especial thanks to Valentina for the free marketing - hire prices to suit all budgets!

"This is really cool guitar and synth, its unlike anything else. If you want this sound, it has to be with the original gear as the myriad other ways of getting near the sound never truly satisfied me! Iain was also really helpful and attentive. 10/10 would hire again!"
First time out for the classic 80s Roland G-303/GR-300 Guitar Synth. A full week's studio session of orchestration and final overlays with UK band Demob Happy. Looking forward to a 2023 release!

"We came as a band and ordered two guitars. Was a great experience. Great service and great sounding guitars. Would really recommend renting from Iain he is a real professional and his instruments are absolutely incredible!"
Israeli band Almog Einav And The Mushrooms, making their London debut. 4 gigs, 2 classic guitars - a 1974 Gibson Ripper L9-S bass and a 1985 Rickenbacker 330. They will be back!

"Excellent, friendly and professional service, Guitar and amp in exceptional condition. Dad sat and played all day and night. Came with complimentary pack, plectrums, stand, strap etc."
The perfect Father's Day present. Thanks to Zarah (from me and her Dad!) for hiring the vintage 1977 Gibson ES-335 Walnut and Fender Champion 110 for giving her Dad a day and night to remember!

"Fantastic little amp that packs a punch. Don’t be fooled by its size! God's Own Guitars have saved us a few times now! Thanks so much."
Big thanks to John, bassist with South London band Casino Moon. A hire for one of the local Platinum Jubilee weekend street parties, the Peavey MAX115 doing what it does best!

"Guitar was great as ever (second time I hired it). Love the door to door service!!"
Thanks to Howard for a second three-week hire while over in London from the US. If you want to keep your hand in while you're away from home, there's not much that can beat the classic tones of the 1992 Mexican Telecaster!
