After the Classic Stingray, after the Sabre, after the mighty amps... I think the time has come!
So reissue the Stingray guitar...

Yeah, look at all that wood between the bridge and the strap button. Heavy! Of course with a headstock like that you'll need the counterweight to stop it diving to the floor. 
Besides, I think of these guitars more as part of the G&L story than the Music Man story. I see this guitar as the overweight older sister of the G&L F-100, which was the first instrument that Leo Fender and George Fullerton produced when they broke away from the original Music Man company. EBMM have pushed so many boundaries lately, with the Armada, Majesty, Cobalts, M-Steels, etc., I think that re-releasing these guitars would be a step backwards rather than forwards.

I think that the MM offerings today is so wide that a classic line of their heritage instruments would be a smart move. It's the same thing they are doing now with those "vintage" products(Classics, Sabre, the Markbass reissued amps...), so the next logical step is releasing the Stingray or Sabre guitars...

There is a lot of love in the vintage community for old Stingrays and the MM amps but there is really zero love for these guitars. I think it would be cool of EBMM did an offset style design like this at some point but I see no reason for them to re-release a guitar that most people don't remember fondly. It makes sense for Ford to keep making a Mustang but not for them to bring back the Pinto.

Preach! I agree on all points.
