Martin necks?

[mickthemiller]

When did Martin start to make necks with stacked heels and wings on the head stock on some models?

I was unaware that Martin had ever used stacked heels on any of their guitars.

Probably when they realized they could profit handsomely by selling guitars to people with lower budgets.

Wasn't aware they have..Is this on entry level models...My 2014 0-15 has a sold heel.With no wings.

To many people not enough trees.

I have two dread jrs. One all sapele 2016 model, has stacked heel and wings on head stock. The other is a 2015 spruce top which has a one piece neck and I was looking at a 00015 special on eBay which appears to have wings.

Wings started showing up on Martins a few years ago. Cost cutting thing.
