Congrats man! It looks fucking sick. I'm glad you finally got it. I'm sorry your dealer screwed you over so bad and made you wait so long. Hopefully it was worth the wait bro. Now you have me really wanting a black one too.
Both guitars were built by Bernie Rico Jr (unless his BC Rich is post-2002), and he's gotten a lot better over the last couple years, so I'm fairly sure his new one is better. Doesn't mean it sounds better though, that depends on his personal taste with woods, pickups, etc.
