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: Black Mirror Season 7
Well, the hirer of the month really should be Broke And Bones, the production company behind Charlie Brooker's wonderful Black Mirror. But the series title is now so much a part of popular culture, it could only be Black Mirror for Hirer Of The Month. Eagerly awaited, finally getting its Netflix release on 10 April 2025, still Top 10 viewing. And, in the final episode, the feature length sequel USS Callister: Into Infinity, three guitars and a small but mighty amp making their fleeting cameo appearances. Which obviously made one geek especially happy 🤓
I'd been anticipating the release as much as anyone else. The guitars and amp were on set for the shoot in April 2024. But as you'd expect, plot details were heavily guarded and I had no idea which episode they would feature in. As I worked my way through the season, I felt sure their time would come in Eulogy, as the lead character played by Paul Giamatti stepped into scenes from a past relationship - one of which featured a live band, with guitars . . . But no, that would be too obvious! The far better casting for these vintage beauties was as the on-show acquisitions of megalomaniac CEO James Walton, his office just one of the shifting worlds of reality and fantasy surrounding global game Infinity. As soon as I heard the line "Want me to say the guitar stuff again?", I knew.
No clues, no spoilers. You'll have to watch it yourself if you haven't already seen it. And if you have seen it, chances are you may not have noticed the guitars and amp at all. No big roles, unassuming and unplayed, just there for context. But at least one viewer spotted their moments 😉. A big thank you to Jeff Clarke at Broke And Bones for the casting, and all credit for a job well done to the four of them: 1977 Gibson ES-335TD, 1979 Fender Black Strat, 1992 Fender Telecaster, and the diminutive but mighty Marshall G10 MK II amp. All now recorded for posterity, for infinity!

1957 Fender Deluxe 5E3
legendary Fender tweed amp,
owned by Maxi Jazz
"As modern as tomorrow". One of the holy grail amps of the 20th century, from 1957, this Fender Deluxe 5E3. Famous in its own right, this one was also owned by multi-musician and DJ Maxi Jazz. God Is A Deluxe ;-).
Sean Genockey's 2016 Millman
Dreadnought, Natural,
played by 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', 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!
