I can't remember if this has been asked yet this thread... but what kind of amp are you using? if you've only been playing 7 months, I would assume it's something pretty bad... dude, the amp makes a much bigger affect on your tone then the guitar does. if I were you, I would get a new amp instead. something with tubes... those peavey valveking amps look tasty at a mere $400, and if it isn't metal enough for you, through a distortion pedal in there. I'm positive you would get a better sound with a $215 guitar with a $450-700 amp then you would with a $450-700 guitar with a cheap amp... just saying... but maybe you've already upgraded your amp, and now you need a guitar... this i do not know. but it just occured to me.
