Share some pics when you get it...

As far as strats go - i have one and with the right pedals you can definitely get a good metal tone. The clarity is awesome too vs. humbuckers. It's not the same though and depends on what flavors of metal you want. The strat can get more of a '80's metal sound if that helps.
