Robb Flynn Epiphone Signature

[Guitarman700]

Buy gibson V. Heat neck over open flame until it becomes stretchy. Pull neck out to baritone scale length. Install EMG's.
Instant Rob Flynn sig. See how easy that was?

I honestly dont think its that bad...
I'll be very interested to see what price tag comes with it

 

[themike]

it seems there is a clear pick guard on the V ... so a change of a white pick guard and regular EMGs would be a solution ...

Wow you right, thats a great idea!

Eh... I kind of hoped that he was going to have a B.C. Rich or ESP signature, based on he has the red acryl warlock + a bunch of ESPs. Cool guitars, so I'm baffled why he went Epiphone.

Pretty simple, I guess. A lot of Machine Head's fans are in the younger demographic.

maybe he went with the heart and skull after they told him they couldn't do the spade with "fuct" written on it like that shirt he seems to wear in every picture.

 

[aleXander]

I think it's a killer guitar.

And sayin' the dude is gay cause there's skulls and hearts on it is pretty stupid.
And throwin it in with emo music makes it worse.
Machine Heads music is NOT emo music and I would never throw them in with that crowd.

I played this at NAMM, the finish/inlays did not bother me, I really liked that it's a baritone, the string tension was perfect.

 

[habicore_5150]

Why couldn't he have done something like use The Blackening cover art for the body and for the inlays use the Machine Head "MH" logo? I think that would have looked 10x better.

thought one of the Vs that Robb owned had the MH symbols as the fret markers (below 12th)

I am so gonna get it! the whole concept is growing on me ... baritone 27" Scale Fly V man!

Me to. Baritone & V could never be a bad thing

 

[Lucas_061287]

Interesting...


I want a Baritone Explorer though lol.

 

[Desi]

It's a really nice looking guitar....just not for me.

Btw, this is not a crack at Rob Flynn AT ALL, so please do not take this out of context..but, that guitar would look REALLY hot on a gorgeous metal chick.


JUST SAYIN!!!


Oh, and another thing; if Machinehead plays in B, why not..well..I dunno...play a 7-string?

 

[UltraParanoia]

Finally watched the video...single coil in the neck = fail

They tune to Drop B.

They tune to Drop B.

Mutiny Within tunes to Drop B live and Brandon plays a 7 string.
He just recently bought a RG2228 and he's going to use it live also.

So if Rob really wanted to he could use a 7 string.
But seeing as his signature is a 6 string I don't think he wants to.

It's actually an EMG HA which is a single coil in a humbucker sized casing. Electric Guitar Pickups & Accessories - EMG Pickups | HA

I watched that video in the Ibanez site wher he explains the RGD and the 7th string is an F#. I'm not saying it's impossible to play a 7 string in Drop B with a high F# sharp (assuming that's what you were implying), Hell, that's what All Shall Perish does IIRC, but in Flynn's case it's unnecessary.

No they don't play with a high f#.
There's a post on here by Brandon saying he plays with the extra low string. I don't remember what the tuning is for that string though.
