Handing them out to worthy causes would be problematic, at the very least you’d be looking at stripping out all the existing electronics, replacing them with a conventional wiring loom and controls, removing and replacing the robot tuners, and then covering up the holes left by the absent controls, battery holders, extra sockets, etc, etc. When you’d done that you’d be left with an oddly shaped guitar with a lot of cavities and a very unusual set of non-standard pickups. That’s a lot of work and I imagine it would be cheaper (and better) to just hand out a bunch of entry level Epiphones...

It smacks of a messy divorce or something that a failing business would do to spite its creditors.
The Firebird X was somebody’s flight of fancy. It probably should have been designated a signature model and sold to order only.
A Burberry t-shirt costs £250. In that case, they probably destroyed less than £100,000 worth of over-priced crap that nobody wanted to buy for 28 million pounds. Greed is good.
None at all.

Or someone owning 2+ guitars, some of which they never play? Those would have been manufactured at some point too, with the same environmental etc concerns.
