I'd like to throw myself into this thread just to say that I have never been greatly enamoured with dean guitars, and that I would reccomend you look at some mid level Ibanez (Which now come with dimarzio's as standard on prestige lines) or some of the mid level LTD lines. Particularly for playing metal.

If you want something more versatile, I think perhaps the Ibanez hollow bodies should be a port of call. They won't do TEH METHUL quite as well, due to their fixed bridges/classic trems, but they're VERY versatile tonally and you should be able to dial in a perfectly good metal tone with them, while retaining the advantages of a hollow bodied clean sound.
