This is the only Dean headstock I don't want to throw on a campfire, so good for them.

Finally, someone makes a rear routed V, my dislike of gold/binding/inlays notwithstanding. Could live with the headstock if the guitar were awesome.

Re: Ehrmagherd Dean has finally done something right!
And honestly, how ofter do you look at your guitar's headstock?
Sure I can see myself not liking a particular headstock but still, I'd prefer a headstock I'm not thrilled about to one where I constantly need to re-tune...
You're right, of course, it is a clear case of form over function. But at least the Jackson and Kramer headstocks were always meant to be used on Floyd guitars with locking nuts, thus making it a non-issue. But when you use a "normal" nut then the fewer points of friction / angles equal the least chances for the strings to bind. What one should be aiming for is a completely straight line from the bridge to the tuner post, preferably with no aids such as string trees and such.

This post doesn't make me want to throw YOU on the fire. :lmao:
FOr pure 'none blacker' secks, I gotta go with Mincer's Dean V. It was actually shipped to the depths of Hell to painted black by Satan himself. Took long enough...
I personally like the big V headstock. It's part of Dean-ness of them. But I think for fans of the guitars - and they are as good as any good guitar out there, and usually way better for the price, great job.
I personally dig the headstock shape in general. It comes on those Mustaine's I've been GASing on. But I don't generally l;ike it on the classic V/ML/Z's I think they need the Dean stock. Now, on the new V's and Zeros, excellent choice.
I'd rather see a shrimpfork on a Caddy.

The Jackson headstock was designed by Randy Rhoads to be used on his Concorde, which had a Tune-O-Matic. To Floyd or Not to Floyd was not the question. It was never even on the same table as the napkins and pen.
In theory, yes. In practice, as soon as the string vibrates it has contact on all edges that can have contact, and a properly cut nut will still alleviate all of these issues and more. If the theory held 100% true and headstock shape did not have actual effects on tone and playability as well, then even acoustic guitars would have been using Stauffer headstocks (the original 6-inline design) for well over 100 years.

This. Totally agree. Those don't really spin my wheels at all.

Worst...headstock...ever. Give me that shrimpfork any day.

I've never had a neck-heavy Dean, and I've owned more than a few.

Deans are usually really well balanced by merit of the huge bodies.

I like the Z with that headstock just fine, if you took off the gold **** and the binding.
That headstock really doesn't look right on anything else there though.

GAAAAH. If I knew earlier I would have made time to go. Plus I have class at 10:00 And not enough gas to get to Tampa. When is the next one? I would love to make another trip down there.
