True that man!
All in all, doesn't matter on what kind of income you are on for a good guitar, you could take a $50.00 starter guitar, not all that well built, normally they come with 1 humbucker and 1 or 2 pick-ups, with that little setup, all you really need is a pedal and an amp and you can make your guitar sound like anything you really want too really.
If you are really wanting to get hard into the metal, and I mean fast paced metal, for say... Slayer, Evile, Metallica(old stuff.. Ride the Lightning, ...And Justice For All, etc.), Megadeth, Destruction, etc. you will be wanting to look into getting a guitar with active pick-ups.
My old one before I knew the reason why my guitar had blown out it's pick-ups, I blew them out by playing to fast. Now I know better and well.. My current custom is very nice for the music I like to play.
