It could be worse definately. I like the headstock, even if it is a ripoff of the BC Rich Pointy from back in the day.
I tried to see if some different variations might make it more appealing (reverse headstock, reverse headstock & inlays). They didn't seem to do much for me.
Here are my suggestions for this guitar:
1.) Inlays - Get rid of the dots. Also make the inlays slightly smaller (maybe 25% smaller) & center them between the frets & ends of the fretboard.
2.) Bevels - Continue the bevels from the points up to where the body meets the neck (like on a King V). That stop & chip/ledge looks stupid & takes away from the symmtry of the guitar.KV DM PRO, SLSXMG, RRXMG, DXMG, LP P90 Goldtop_GSP1101_RM4: JF SL-OD100_Randall RT2/50_Peavey 4x12 cab

I also thought the headstock looked a little compact/stubby.
So I modded it a little in MSPaint. I increased the Horizontal 130% of just the point of the headstock. I think it gives it a more streamlined look.

This gives you an idea of what I meant by the point.

Now if I could just find a way to get rid of those ugly bevels or mod those as well.KV DM PRO, SLSXMG, RRXMG, DXMG, LP P90 Goldtop_GSP1101_RM4: JF SL-OD100_Randall RT2/50_Peavey 4x12 cab

The body looks ok, might be better if the "bevel tips" were at different places, ie. not symmetric.
Anyone got a link to the interview (with the cute girls ) ?"It wasn't the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat. [ ... ]
The truth will seem utterly preposterous, and its speaker, a raving lunatic."

Looks to me like Dave stole his glove-design from Darth Vader!
As for the new guitar, if it's ugly, don't blame Dean, blame Dave.
He could choose any guitar manufacturer he'd want. I don't think he'd let other people screw around with his idea for a guitar.. Not that he invented the King V btw..!"This ain't no Arsenio Hall show, destroy something!"
