Do you mean the markings on the third, fifth, seventh, ninth and twelth frets - the're usually marked on the upper edge of the neck as well - but yes they are very usefull

I've been thinking about the 'Warlock' it's an attractive shape and it does look like it's got double coil pick ups - but I would certainly like to play one before buying one and it does look like there's no inlays, which would be difficult to navigate.
The guitars I would buy are Fenders, i've never come across a bad one, they keep their value and are comfortable to play.
They are ideal for Digital recording with PC's
I record with a Fender Squire stratocaster, it's got the best action i've come across.

I don't know about BC Rich guitars (or anything else with a weird shape)...

Like Grambo said, make sure you try before you buy. I can't see how some of the shapes can possibly be usable sitting down. The absence of fret markers isn't a big deal in my opinion.... you get used to it. I've got guitars with none, with vines, with dots, shark teeth and all sorts. It takes a minute to adjust, but then it's easy.

I just don't know whether the shape of the guitars (as cool as you might think they are) is really helpful to advancing as a player. I guess try before you buy is the only answer.

I think BC Rich guitars are purchased for the look rather than the feel... and I can't see that being a good thing.

I'd go with Dean - some of their guitars are 'mean' enough to be metal whilst being traditional enough to be familiar and playable.... Also bear in mind you'll look stupid playing jazz on a BC Rich doomslayerhellraiserdeathdagger, but you wouldn't look stupid playing metal on a les paul / strat / whatever.

I have a bias, but I think Ibanez do a decent line in versatile guitars that look 'rock'.

Is there any way you Can contact the manufacturer - I like that shape of the Jackson - I think they came out in the late seventies, when I was a young man.

I don't like the ESP, becuase of the bridge set up

Yes, quite often it comes down to ' The money ', thats why I stick with fenders for what they cost, they offer real value, and I love um

Yeah possibly, I can't see the bridge that well, no inlays and extremely diffcult to play sat down.
