I went to a Staind show with a friend of mine the other day, and something really struck me. Staind is a fairly heavy band, and Mike Mushok plays a baritone (no surprise there), but what did surprise me were the guitars that Aaron Lewis played. Gibson ES-335 with Bigsby, Strat, Danelectro U2, Tele... The only typical "metal" guitar he played was a cherry SG.
I've never been a big fan of saying that one needs a particular kind of guitar for a particular genre (a friend of mine played jazz by day and prog metal by night on a Fender Tornado), but that show really cemented by opinion. I think as long as your guitar feels and sounds right to you, you can do anything with it.
