Classic Guitars, Amps & Effects For Hire

Hire classic, vintage and iconic guitars - electrics, basses, acoustics - plus legendary effects pedals and amps.

"God's Own" because the guitars, amps and pedals you can hire have been owned or made famous by some of the most iconic guitarists and songwriters of the past 50 years.  Better than "God's Own" because you get to use and play that gear, just by hiring.  This is your way to enjoy a range of iconic guitars, without breaking the bank or tying yourself to a single guitar.

Whatever your reason or need, there's a guitar, amp or pedal for you:

Personal practice

Try-before-you-buy

Band practice

Home and studio recording

Live performance

Film and video shoots

Photo shoots

Film and theatre productions

Themed events and parties

Marriage proposals and weddings

And more . . .

In the end, it's really down to your needs and imagination.  My promise to you is a high quality, end-to-end hire experience, with some of the most iconic guitars and gear in the world.

Hirer Of The Month: Nathan Thomas, HTB Brompton

Sunday Service!  I hadn't heard of HTB before church guitarist Nathan got in touch to hire a guitar for the service on Sunday 19 January 2025.   But now I know!  A hugely active church and community based in West London, with Sundays devoted to 10 services across 6 different locations - and the late morning service from Holy Trinity Brompton livestreamed and available for replay.  

 

Nathan's own Strat was in need of some TLC.  Step forward, the ever-popular 2006 Fender Stratocaster, in divinely pure Arctic White.  Nathan, the guitar and the band just sound amazing!  Hugely uplifting, and just great to have God's Own Guitars in God's place ;-).  Watch the full service here.  If it's just the band you're after, they kick off at 11 minutes into the video, and round things off with a second set at around 1 hour 26 minutes in.

Not only a guitarist with a future, Nathan could equally make a great career in marketing.  "5* service, smooth from start to finish, Iain was able to meet me to drop off the guitar very last minute before a gig I had the next day. The Strat was setup to perfection and sounded great on stage. Quick and clear communication throughout, overall an excellent service at a very fair price, would definitely hire again!"   Thank you, Nathan - it was my absolute pleasure!

Sean Genockey's 2016 Millman 
Dreadnought, Natural, 
played by James Dean Bradfield
2016 Millman Dreadnought, Sean Genockey, James Dean Bradfield
Sean Genockey's specially commissioned 2016 Millman Dreadnought.  Used extensively live and in the studio, and played by James Dean Bradfield at the 2019 MPG Awards.  All that, and a gloriously full-bodied and toned dreadnought, crafted by luthier James Millman.
2009 Epiphone FT-112 Bard 'Oh, Pretty Woman', Roy Orbison
2009 Epiphone FT-112 Bard,
'Oh, Pretty Woman', Natural,

as made famous by Roy Orbison
That opening and repeated riff, so recognisable, so iconic, so no surprise that Epiphone decided to put out a signature model of the original FT-112 Bard that Roy Orbison played on "Oh, Pretty Woman". Perfect for that song - and any song that demands the chime of a 12-string acoustic!
1972 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe, Cherry Sunburst
1972 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe,
Cherry Sunburst,
as made famous by Scott Gorham
The Les Paul Deluxe.  Probably most famous in the hands of Pete Townshend throughout the 70s.  But for me it's Scott Gorham, Thin Lizzy, and Live And Dangerous - the first live album I ever bought, and still the best!  This glorious 1972 Cherry Sunburst Deluxe brings it all back!
