Robb Flynn's Guitars
Robb used this as his one of his main guitars from 2007-2013. It can be seen frequently live during that time and in the videos for Now I lay thee down and Halo.
In this video, Robb Flynn discusses his signature model Flying V guitar made by Epiphone. He says, "…its taken a beating, its held up ***** awesome. It's a big solid hunk of mahogany, its got a 27 inch scale baritone neck, its got EMG-81s for super crunchy metal tone and right now its got an EMG HA in it, which is a single coil for like Hendrix-y, Ritchie Blackmore kind of a sound which I really love that type of a sound especially for clean tones and for some type of leads…"

This is a custom ESP Flying V made for Robb by the company. It's got a black finished, white pick guard, mahogany body, baritone scale neck (27" I believe), 24 fret rosewood fretboard with dot and Machine Head diamond inlays, black hardware, and an EMG81 in the bridge and EMG HA in the neck. This guitar was used heavily from 2002 - 2007, starting with the end of "The Burning Red" era, until the early "The Blackening" era until he switched back to Gibson in 2008.
Robb is seen using a Jackson Soloist during this Dynamo 1995 gig, specifically for the songs tuned to C# Standard. It is heavily stickered, and is HSS. One of the few guitars used by Robb that had a Floyd Rose on it.
In this Instagram photo, Robb Flynn gives praise to the Epiphone Matt Heafy Les Paul Custom-7 guitar: "Morning Riffin'. Just channeled some new album inspiration from the Matt Heafy 7-string. Good stuff, great axe!"
This guitar was used extensively during the "The More Things Change" touring cycle, and is seen in a couple music videos as well (it was an interesting time for Machine Head).
Robb tweeted: "Getting ready for "An Evening With", dug out the clear-blood-red BC Rich and the 1997 Gibson SG from TMTC tour," which is the source of the pic.
At 7:45 in the video, Robb is showing off his ESP baritone which he recorded most of the album with.
