Brian built his guitar himself with the help of his father, Harold. They built it in the early 1960's out of materials such as an old unwanted fireplace, and motor cycle springs.
The company Guild is one of a few companys that later on made replica's of the guitar, which Brian sometimes uses when performing. Also the company Brian May Guitars makes the red special in a variety of colours and also an acoustic version (known as the Rhapsody) and a red-special Bass Guitar. I personally have a Brian May Guitar in antique cherry. :)
Hope this helps.

brian and his father built his guitar in the 60's mainly from an old oak fireplace.
