I bought one from Sam Ash over a year ago for $199! I think the guitars
were a big flop in the USA, and aren't sold here anymore, though Burns may
pick up a few dealers soon, as their Brian May Signature and Steer guitars
are getting great reviews on this side of a pond. Anyway, for now, your
best best is eBay. Beware though: these guitars need some work on them
before they work well. I had to get the tremolo block drilled out
(strings would get lodged in there!), a part of the tremolo replaced (the
screws were stripped after a few months), and a new nut (the original is
bad), in addition to several hours of setup time before the guitar started
working properly. But now it's quite nice, stays in tune well, plays
well, sounds good. And it's very unique looking in addition to being
incredibly resonant and fun to play. Good luck!

PS For a lot more info from Marquee owners on their guitars, check out:
Many of them changed the pickups, too, but I don't mind mine.
