He explained in June 2007, "I don't [share secrets] only because my sound is important to me and I've spent a lot of years just working it over with little tricks here and there, I almost feel like if you reveal too much of that you give away something that's near and dear to you. It's like you put it up on the altar and say, 'Here, everyone take a slice.'"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hobbs1767.tripod.com/band/equipment/joshsetup.html|title=QOTSA &#124; Equipment|website=Hobbs1767.tripod.com|access-date=September 22, 2023}}</ref>

Homme relaxed his secretive approach to the subject in the 2010s, though much of his known equipment has been compiled through amateur photos and screenshots of him performing live and in the studio.<ref>{{cite news|author=J. Bennett|title=The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets|newspaper=Musicradar|url=http://www.emusician.com/gear/1332/the-lost-art-of-keeping-secrets/35212}}</ref> In choosing his equipment, he tends to look for the odd or unique, opting to stay away from the typical choices of other guitar players. In an interview about guitars in 2008, he claimed at the time to own close to 35 guitars, and said that only three of them were "really good". He has said that he purposely does not use famous guitars such as [[Fender Stratocaster|Stratocasters]] or [[Gibson Les Paul|Les Pauls]], but that he is always in search of intriguing and unique guitars that are not always generally accepted as high-quality. He said that he tends to buy "weird Japanese guitars" or guitars that are "scarred" and have an interesting story.<ref>{{cite web|title=Episode – Josh Homme Interview Part 1|url=http://www.guitarings.com/episodes/2011-11/josh-homme-interview-part-1|access-date=March 30, 2012|website=Guitarings.com|archive-date=November 11, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111111050805/http://guitarings.com/episodes/2011-11/josh-homme-interview-part-1|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtTHcTW9DZY|title=YouTube|website=[[YouTube]] |date=October 29, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151029041643/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtTHcTW9DZY |access-date=September 22, 2023|archive-date=October 29, 2015 }}</ref>
