Ah...the reverse Firebirds!
Mini-hunbuckers...an answer to the Strat...and a whammy bar that was so simple it actually stayed in tune...with a fatal flaw! The head could break IN THE CASE!
There weren't many made in 64 and not many survived. They've been remade, I hear, and the remakes aren't equal to the originals.

The remakes used a different pickup, just don’t have the same sound quality. A friend has one of the originals and I used it one night at a gig when my guitar malfunctioned. It was like having a cement block h*****g around your neck! Sounded great through my Peavey Classic 30 tho. 👍

Joe Bonamassa plays one from time to time. It has very cool clean sound.
Scott Grove bought one and demonstrated it but the vid is no longer available on YouTube.
I'd actually prefer a maple neck and fingerboard.
