EITHER IS GOOD FOR METAL BUT YOU MAY HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS ON THE FENDER
there's a video on youtube that shows how to make frankenstien ( a fender copy of his original guitar ,a fernandes stratocaster) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuN2WzXfg34
Not that I know of. Why would that be necessary?
okay, for example, there is the Fender Stratocaster, this is a very common and popular guitar. Guitar companies who make beginners make whats called a "strat immatation" this is a guitar which looks pretty much identical to the real thing, but is a knock-off
Rick Springfield used a blue sparkle Fender Stratocaster on the Ryan Seacrest show. The Stratocaster is well-known for its versatility and iconic sound, making it a favorite among many rock musicians. Springfield's choice of this guitar adds to his classic rock image and showcases his signature style.
Instead of making a guitar from scratch, I think I would try to find a kit for a guitar, such as the kits that some music stores have for such instruments as the Fender Telecaster, Fender Stratocaster, and Fender Bass. These usually run $100-$150 for the kit. Other than that, you could try to buy all the components separately and assemble it, but it would be good deal more expensive that way.
There are many different types of fender guitars. One is the Fender Stratocaster. The fender Strat. is what some people call the universal guitar. People call the Strat this because if you look at any type of music (jazz, rock, blues, funk, country) you will find at least one artest that plays a fender strat. I own an American Fender Stratocaster Deluxe and I love it. If you are a rock fan, then go with the Telecaster which was made to play rock music. Fender also makes acoustic guitars but they are not the best quality I think. If you are looking for an acoustic guitar then look at Ibanez. They make a good acoustic guitar. I hope that this helps. If you have any other questions about guitars, I would suggest looking in the fourms of this website. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ This is the best website for all your guitar needs.
I would suggest an electric guitar as they are easier to start playing and would say something like a squire by fender stratocaster starter pack which includes an amp as well but if you are on a limited budget you may wish to get a similar then get an unknown branded product.
The Fender American Stratocaster comes highly recommended for beginners. They sound smooth and have a thinner neck. Epiphone makes a Les Paul style guitar designed specifically for beginners. Squier and Yamaha also make for a good starter guitar.

If you find a heavy gauge string is bending the neck, then you are probably either tightening it too much or the string was not designed for the guitar. It is generally best to buy strings designed for a stratocaster and Fender make strings designed for certain guitars.
