If that was flamed, it would be my perfect dream guitar. BRJ really knows how to make em. Can't wait til I can afford my own.

Yes completely separate. Bernie Rico Sr founded BC Rich, but the family has had nothing to do with the company since 2001 IIRC. As for BRJ:

Let me google that for you: Bernie Rico Jr guitars

Yeah, he's doing his own thing now, but....
These dudes are claiming that Bernie is making some of the B.C Rich Masterbuilt series:

He did build the BC Rich guitars in that video, and a few others. I saw them at his shop. I'm not sure of the details... but he did say that he was building some of their high end stuff on occasion.

Nick had a limited run of Jekyll's built that are based off a "slimline" jekyll body that I guess him and Bernie collaborated on.

The one I purchased is actually pictured on his facebook as an "in progress" shot. Nick explained his main influence for the "copper metallic" paintjob was he saw some really high end european sports car like an Audi or whatnot with this paint color, and he asked Bernie if he could replicate it on the guitar, which apparently he did. This color is apparently a one-off custom paint blend for Nick, and its the only guitar Bernie is gonna make that has this color. As for the specs on the guitar this is what I am getting.

Specs:
27 frets
Semi-shredder neck profile
Mahogany body wings w/ Mahogany neck-thru design
Ebony Fretboard w/ Stainless steel frets (no inlays)
Custom Copper Metallic paintjob w/ Black binding on body, neck and headstock
Black Sperzel Locking Tuners
Black TonePro Locking Bridge/Tailpiece
Bare Knuckle Painkiller 7 calibrated set

sweet man! do you run a clean boost in front of your amp? I find that running the od808 really tightens the lowend up and i get a very tight chunky tone with tons of clarity

Sounds like maybe they're sub-contracting some of the custom shop orders to him. Not surprising really, but BRJ isn't owned by BC Rich or anything nor does BRJ have anything to do with running BC Rich. Not really any different than a couple of the major manufacturers outsourcing their custom shop inlay work to Thorn.

Bernie told me to let you guys that he is selling the blue/purple Jekyll If any one is interested he said to either contact him through the shop 760-956-3419 or www.ricojrquotes.com Tell him you saw it in my thread and mention my name!! hopefully some of you guys are interested!
This is the guitar
