Dave rarely uses anything else but Fender Stratocaster I think.

As said above, Dave (and Jan) seem to only use Fender Strats. Smith, on the other hand, also uses Les Pauls in addition to Strats. For hard rock/metal, you cannot beat a Les Paul or an Explorer. They pack a much bigger wallop than a Strat. I own both, but use the Gibsons much more. If you do get a Strat, make sure you have a humbucker (either a real Seymour Duncan or an EMG) or a Seymour Duncan "Hot Rails" pickups if the guitar only has room for a single coil. Pickups make a BIG difference. Don't go cheap on those.

I think it's a matter of personal taste. Strats and Les Pauls have different neck shapes and thus a different feel. For example, I prefer the Les Paul ... but the lead guitarist in my band prefers the Strat.

Dave also used a Jackson guitar in the early 90's...
