Well I think it's fair to say their strats are geared for metal, they have Floyd rose locking trems and those crazy little Duncan mini buckers in them. I think it is fair to say that brands and genres don't correlate too much. Maybe some guitars are just more versatile than others? Strats, Teles, Les Pauls and SGs spring to mind here. But you don't see too much metal being played on things like 335s, Jags or Jazz Masters.
