If you are serious about it I would email martin they are very helpful.

My 00-18V has no wings and a solid mahogany neck and it's serial number is well past the start of the winged era.
Again, wings don't stop my PRS from being super easy to play and sounding good, and I've played some superb Martins with the Spanish Cedar necks and wings.
Martin, Taylor, Fender, Gibson and PRS all have quite the name, but I've found Martin to be surprisingly not full of themselves when I've contacted them for support compared to some companies so I'd second the statement that they are helpful.
