Doc Coyle

“I’ve essentially played every iteration of the EVH amp. These amps are just rock-solid, they’re versatile, and I haven’t found anything that really has made me want to move on.”

Specified in this November 28, 2018 ESP Artist Spotlight about Coyle.

Tell us about the ESP model you’re playing now. We hear you’ve been really into the E-II Series.

Right now I have two of them. Two E-II Horizon FR-7’s, one black one and one in a turquoise burst. Both are seven-string. Both are fitted with Floyd Rose, where I have the trem blocked for stability. I wasn’t using Floyds for awhile, but the band tunes really low, and I blocked them because I didn’t want any variation in tuning.

You’re a guy who really likes to mod your guitars.

Yes. I have them outfitted with Lundgren pickups. One has their M7 pickups, and the other the Black Heaven, which is like a hybrid between the M7 and a JB. It’s a hotter, livelier sound.

I also have an E-II ST-1, which also has the Floyd and a maple neck, and I also put a Black Heaven in there. It’s a six-string. Bad Wolves uses a multitude of tunings, so it’s good to have the variety.

As seen in this Facebook video, Doc Coyle owns a ESP E-II Arrow 7 with a set of DiMarzio Titans, as well as a unique paint job and FU Tone hardware on the Floyd Rose.
