Doesn't this just look wrong?

The new Martin D-28M
Looks great..... Until you get to that headstock! What on earth were they thinking?!!!
G!
G!
Looks all kinds of right to me...but we all know I'm a little nuts for something 'different' ???
As weird as they look, six-in-lines like this go back 200 years. Martin even made similar shapes in the 1830s. Of course, Leo Fender took a look at Merle Travis' guitars when he was designing the Strat headstock...
Notice the scratch plate
This is the kind of Martin you buy as a nest egg. They only made 100 of these.
Travis bought a standard D28 many years ago and had Bigsby make and fit a neck that was just like that on one of his electrics. As usual Martin recreated the idiosyncrasies when they devised the signature edition.

The headstock looks as if it was designed to gut animals. Like most of Bigsby's inventions, it looks as if it would be better off in a butchery ?
Looks like a Fender crossed with a Batmobile....
