I'm thinking of getting a yin to it's yang (or would it be the other way around?), and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions in terms of:

Guitar body (does this matter? None of those cheesy flying V's, though)
pickups
etc.

I tend to focus more on composing and playing with VSTs than on tone so I'm sort of a newb when it comes to guitar gear, so if you guys can help me out, I'd appreciate it. I'm basically looking for the optimal setup for killing somebody using a guitar...something that's mean, heavy, and aggressive, and would produce solid modern metal rhythm tone. I don't even care if it's one dimensional...like I said, I've got the other guitar if I want something pretty. I'm looking to record some material that I've written and I trying to find the right guitar for the job.

Price range?
