I'm getting a Fender electric guitar for the holidays but I can't decide what model to pick. Should I get a Fender Vintage Hot Rod '57 Stratocaster or an Eric Clapton Stratocaster? I love to play tones that range from vintage to metal.

Fender has american and mexican models ... the pick ups on the american strats are better quality and sound better.. they're also more expensive, but make sure that you're getting a US one. The EC Strat has almost a more bluesy feel and sound to it if that helps!
Are you stuck on a Fender? Gibson SG (if you get an unfinished wood stain it would be around 699.) is a great guitar... they're used in everything from country to metal (toni iommi had one).

You might want to check out the Fender Big Block Stratotocaster, two single coils and a humbucker with coil split, jumbo frets. ($769@americanmusical.com).

I personally am a fan of the tenor medium Fender Telecaster. I have a deep red one, myself.
