Build it by thinking like a guitarist.
Find a steel string sample library or synth patch and run it through an amp simulator and or distortion plugin. I’ve done this with various VSTs, admittedly none were free but there are some out there. Really any musical pluck type synth starts sounding like metal when you run it through a compressor, limiter, distortion and eq.
