Craig Goldy's Gear
According to this article from Guitar List, Craig Goldy rocked an ESP M-II guitar.
His main guitar was a B.C. Rich Warlock, however, he now uses an ESP M-II through ENGL Powerball amplifiers. He has modified the guitar by switching the EMG pickups with Seymour Duncan pickups. He also played a Yamaha Pacifica 1221M on Insufficient Therapy solo album and the 2001 tour with Dio. (From Wikipedia)
"John Kasha put years of know-how and professional amp modding experience into the QUIKMOD III, a unit smaller than many pedals on the market. The QUIKMOD III was born out of the modification work Kasha did back in the heady ’80s rock scene for some of the biggest names in guitar. Names you certainly know, such as Jake E. Lee (who liked the QUIKMOD unit so much he attached it to his Marshall with duct tape), shredder extraordinaire Chris Impellitteri, and Dio’s Craig Goldy."
