==Equipment== {{BLP unreferenced section|date=September 2020}} [[File:Robb Flynn, Machine Head @ Sonisphere.jpg|thumb|Flynn at [[Sonisphere Festival]] 2009]] Flynn used two Ibanez strat styled guitars in the early days of Machine Head, a white one used in 1992 until 1993, and a black one covered with stickers which he used to record ''[[Burn My Eyes]]'', which was stolen from his home in 2010 along with a Washburn Dimebolt which Dimebag Darrell had once given to him.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://loudwire.com/machine-head-robb-flynn-reunited-stolen-dimebag-darrell-guitar/|title=Robb Flynn Reunited With Stolen Dimebag Darrell Guitar|first=Joe|last=DiVita|date=May 26, 2016|website=Loudwire}}</ref> For the Burn My Eyes tour he used a Gibson Explorer and a Jackson Soloist. He used these guitars for ''[[The More Things Change...]]'', after which he switched to a Gibson SG. His Dimebolt and all the guitars that were stolen were returned to him by a woman who bought a storage unit, which either belonged to the person that stole them or she received them from the person that stole them. For ''[[The Burning Red]]'', he began using a Gibson Flying V, which became synonymous with him after this period. In 2002, just before the recording of ''[[Through the Ashes of Empires]]'' he began using his ESP SP210 baritone guitar. For ''[[The Blackening]]'' tour he used a custom ESP flying V which was identical to, and often mistaken for a Gibson V. By ''[[Unto the Locust]]'' he was using a more modified version of his earlier ESP/Gibson V, with this one having mirror inlays of the Machine Head logo on the fretboard and headstock. Flynn had signed a deal with Epiphone in which he could get signature models<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blabbermouth.net/news/machine-head-frontman-discusses-epiphone-love-death-baritone-flying-v-signature-guitar|title=MACHINE HEAD Frontman Discusses Epiphone Love/Death Baritone Flying-V Signature Guitar|date=July 7, 2012|website=BLABBERMOUTH.NET}}</ref> based closely on his designs with ESP. His new guitar for this period was the Epiphone Love Death Baritone Flying V, along with a custom Explorer, which he occasionally used on the Locust tour. For the ''[[Bloodstone & Diamonds]]'' era, Flynn has so far been using several Epiphone Flying V's, including an alternate version of the Love Death V, with this one having a tremolo bar. Currently he uses both his Love Death models, a satin black V, and a glossy black V with white binding and a white pickguard. In January 2015, Flynn posted a picture on his Instagram page, showing his red BC Rich Warlock along with his Gibson SG from 1997, announcing that he was bringing them out of retirement and bringing them on the US leg of the Bloodstone & Diamonds tour. Other gear includes a modified Peavey 5150 and an Electro Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress flanger pedal.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.guitarworld.com/gw-archive/dear-guitar-hero-robb-flynn-and-phil-demmel-machine-head | title=Dear Guitar Hero: Robb Flynn and Phil Demmel of Machine Head | date=March 13, 2012 }}</ref>
