The lad you see here is Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad). He recently did an endorsement with Peavey guitars, a series of his signature models were released but not the one you see here. So what's with this one? I don't know if Mr. Townsend wrapped his strings round the machine heads as such intentionally but it's the wrong way round, take a closer look at the arrowed section (click photo if you need clarifications); not one but all of the strings were wound as such.

In some of his youtube videos, he's got them wrapped the same way. I'm thinking it's intentional, though I can't imagine the point.
one of the reasons would be to prevent slippage, angled wrap-around like that provides a 'locking' grip as opposed to the conventional way.
