I actually rather like it ... 
Putting the jack socket on the edge means a. you don't have to have a right angled jack to avoid bashing your hand on the jack plug if you do 'windmill right arm' (yes I do ... embarrassing, but there you go). Also, I have lost count of SGs with nasty cracks around the jack socket as it's normally just backed by fairly thin wood rather than a metal plate.
Having two extra frets seems a good use of otherwise wasted space.
The colour scheme ... I don't mind it. 
The odd thing about that image is the humbuckers seem to have no mounting feet or height adjustment ... 

I think the humbuckers mount through the back. Needs a custom shape pickup for that though.

Socket on the side is probably the only good thing about it imho as it's a pita having it top mounted on an SG

I actually really like top-mounts - they're easier to plug in when on a strap! SGs, Jags, JMs, ES-330s, etc

It looks like the pickups mount from the front but adjust at the back

Judging by the 'leaked' info on the 2019 range, they're dropping the unusual pickup mounting. If this requires a special pickup design, supply might prove to be short lived.

I’d like to see it with a 5 ply Batman scratch plate...it might actually look ok then. As it is...not really my cup of tea
