Well, it's Fender, but it's Mexican Made, and not American. But it's great for 300 bucks.

Ah well, if only it was a Gibson.... ;)
The strat is nice for some nice funcky stuff, but for metal you'll need a humbucker screaming. And a big piece of woodfor sustain = Les Paul
 
actually, I bet Metallica would probably bow to Judas Priest, seeing as Priest is one of their gods, along with Motorhead and Black Sabbath.

Yes but the music does not compare. Metallica are the gods of the gods of metal my friend...

Strats are good enough for Iron maiden 8)

You can get humbucker that are stuck on top of each other so they fit in single coil holes.
 
Wow, didn't know some of those bands were still around like Living Colour. Would love to see Type-O-Negative.

I saw Type O about 4 weeks ago.

You're right, Jimmy could make every guitar scream, even Spanish ones I think 8)

Yeah, but those humbuckers don't sound like a real one, they just sound like single coils without the humm.

Don't get me wrong, Strats are great guitars, and much more versatile than my Les Paul, I'm going to buy one if my wife will let me :)
 
You can always put different pickups on the strat....mine are standard (I dont have the heart to change them)...but they are less powerful than my friends Les Pauls
I think the Gibsons are also easier to play (I'm also being ultra nice to the wife for a Les Paul )
At the moment I put the Strat through a Boss GT6 and I can get pretty much what sound i want
Find a guitar you like and go for it....
Spank the Plank
 
Greatest couple: les paul+strat :D
About easier to play, well I must say I really love my Gibson. I hardly play any other guitar. I use Fender amps without any pedals (except for food switch, a volume pedal and a crybaby) great sound.

I think Pro-Pain is also touring Europe, but I'm not sure. It's kinda cool cause they're a local band, but they have toured Europe before.

Nice set up,

I want a Mesa Boogie Dual rectofier soon. $$$ though:cry:

Lespauls are lovely just wish Gibson would lift their game on quality control, same with Fender at the moment. Customs yea sure but anything below that are hit and miss. Not good enough for what you pay.
Ibanez are probably my favourite with Gibson behind in Second and ESP coming third. Fender fourth and that will do :lol:
