Yeh changing string gauge should solve that little "bouncing" problem. Maybe some hotter pickups if your after the metallica tone?

I think playing on any guitar is just a matter of personal preference. If you don't feel comfortable with strat guitar playing Metallica, then maybe you should purchase ESP too.
btw, from my point of view it doesn't matter on what guitar you play, as long it has humbuckers it is good for metallica

Guitars have very different characters. You were asking about playability but I think sound makes the most difference... Pickups are definitely a big part of it
If you ask about playbility I think it is easier to play metallica in a strat than a Les Paul, because of the thinner neck. But I would choose the Les Paul over the strat, because then I can get closer to metallica sound  For rock sound I would choose humbucker over single coil anytime. Mainly in the bridge. So a fat strat would do the job About the normal strat, with 3 single coil, I always found myself using it for clean songs. However, some people get really good distortion out of it... (not really metallica alike. Think of green day distortion) This post has been edited by Gus: May 14 2008, 07:49 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

Nothing insane there
Strats are great guitar and they too can sound heavy with some modifications But no I can't imagine the James Hetfield holding one

I don't think it is useless to play metal on strat. It is universal guitar and with some mods you can make it sound whatever you like. Perhaps you should check with some luthier about that string bouncin' - maybe it's a problem or something
