May has his own line of custom-made replicas as well. Burns
doesn't make their model any more; fortunately I was able to pick
mine up fairly cheap (~$600) several years ago, before they were
in great demand. I sunk another $300 into it, having a badly
dinged-up fretboard repaired and at the same time converting the
neck from about 7.5" radius to 12" (which is more like Brian's
original) and getting a refret and Plek job.

Didn't Guild or someone else also make a Brian May model?

Yes, they made them before May switched his endorsement to Burns.

I actually tried one of them out many years ago. I wasn't impressed at all. They didn't use the Burns pickups, of course, and I think that's a big factor in capturing the "correct" tone.
