    I have '57 Classics in my SG - great pickups!

    With the right amp, I'm sure that they can pull off metal with no problem.

    I really liked the 57 classic, great pu's. It depends on the kind of amp and pedals he will use like Plank said. But I'd recomend him to try the 500T(its not that versatile though) and the Seymour Duncan JB model (really versatile but less "metal" souding) on the bridge too.
