Honestly that brutal bevel looks lazy. Why obliterate a matched top like that?
I agree 100%. They went overboard with it in what was probably an attempt to be different. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though.

Kiesel is the Ed Hardy of guitars when he gets to pick specs.
Do any real people care that the maple top is an inch smaller, or that the burst is 'off-center' (duh) - or is it just the OCD nutjobs with too much internet time?![]()
I actually really like the shape. It's probably my favorite Superstrat one they've done since the Bolt.
They really should have fixed the bevels, though. Just throwing the single huge-ass bevel covering 1/3rd of the guitar seems like a huge afterthought. Should have REALLY shrunk the bevel, add a matching in-horn bevel on the top horn, and added a lower-body bevel much like the SCB.
Also, more headstock options. The non-pointy standard 6-in-line would have been perfect for this one, and the 3x4 non-pointy one would have been perfect for the 7-string. At least there's the option for the 6-string Jackson ripoff on the 6-string.
The more I see the guitars in real photos, the more I could see myself getting a build of one. I can definitely see how some builds just won't work well for this model. I'm considering going for one with a 1pc Swamp Ash body and with the Ultra-Thin raw-tone finish in black which is no upcharge (I called and asked).
Like this SCB7:
