What happened to B.C. Rich, after Bernie died? What happened to Mossman after Stuart Mossman died?

I also wonder what will become of Santa Cruz Guitars after Richard Hoover is no longer in the picture? Neither Santa Cruz, nor Collings, has, or had, an "heir apparent" to take over, like Taylor is doing with Andy Powers...
