I like it. The bottom horn wing is a bit weird.

That said, I probably wouldn't buy one - too untraditional

I think its the headstock that I love

I like the Firebird-ish aspects of the design, but it's ridiculously big.  

Is R Smith some kind of giant?

I voted against but it would probably look better on. Other than that, not my cup of tea.

I really want to try one.

It looks somehow not quite right, much like Robert Smith I suspect (come on.  A Goth?  At HIS age???) - but I kinda like that.
