Sire Headstock

Am I the only one who prefers the newly designed headstock of the Z series? Honestly, this headstock should be on all the other models!

Probably not.  Me, I quite like the headstock of the D5 - with its cheeky nod to the '51 P headstock

Looks the same as it always has to me, maybe a little shorter & broader but barely a redesign.

 

It's still gopping.

Looks pretty much the same to me, it's ok. Then again I don't like the bulbous Fender headstock really.

 

Much better implementation here:

Funny thing is it wasn't supposed to look like this. The prototypes they showed at NAMM had a 3+1 headstock like the Stingray. But a certain mr. Ball probably asked them kindly and politely to drop that design.

I really don’t mind the shape. I just hate that it says Marcus Miller on it. 
 

I really wish they just had the S on the top.
 

The MM name on the headstock makes them look so cheap to me.

 

I know it’s very shallow, but, I just can’t shake it!

Yes, the Z series shape is much better. A subtle reshape and it looks less like a 4 year old drew it originally ha ha!! I think the Z7 looks like a great instrument. Looking forward to reviewing them.

The shape of the headstock is pretty low down in my priorities. Unless it's impractical in any way then it shouldn't matter IMO, and I don't really see anything impractical about it.

Agreed, it's not the prettiest but it's far from the ugliest, and when I'm playing I don't care what it looks like as I'm not looking at it
