Just letting you know my experience with renting musical equipment.

I just loaned 3 of my Electric guitars to an event company for just 1 night at a club. I was paid RM200 for EACH guitar...... and that's just for 1 night. On top of that, it was insured at full value as well for the event.

It came back with a few scratches, and they paid to have it retouched up.

Yes, I know as uni students, your budgets are SIGNIFICANTLY less. I was one too.. but you have to cover all these things........
