Bernie Rico Sr and Jr made excellent custom guitars Tony. So, I'm definitely not buying the "nothing good since 1985" nonsense. I've owned many (and played several of my friends') USA BC Riches and they were absolutely outstanding. I can't speak for Neal Moser, but you sound super biased and I'm skeptical you've played many 90's USA BC Rich customs. The one I own now sounds, plays and looks simply amazing. So has most of the ones I ever owned.
I can't speak for what BC Rich is doing now, but if youre talking about imports, then we're in agreement. But the USA Custom Shop has been putting out awesome guitars for a long time, even since 1985
