Hot or Not? Glenn Tipton LTD GT-600

I know almost nothing about Judas Priest or Glenn Tipton, but I kinda dig this hideous SG (Viper) spin off.

The bridge is kinda wonky looking but I'm liking the rest while simultaneously being disgusted by it.

The red on the bindings and pickups is just wrong, the pick-guard would be better if it was black, another volume knob and a tone knob or 2 would be cool.
 
The Viper body is ugly to start with. It doesn’t exist to look good, it exists to keep Gibson from suing ESP for getting too close to Gibson’s best seller. Coupled with the ugly 3x3 waving flag headstock it’s a lost cause no matter how it’s decked out.
 
Glenn used to play SGs a lot back in the day (late 70s & early 80s). It's too bad that he just wouldn't pull out his old Gibson SG, and Rock out in it, instead of this one.
