Herb I assume it was built in '64 and was the 9th one made. What does the W mean?

I thought it meant woodneck, since I've owned both #1164007W and 1164008W (still own that one... great sounding horn) and they are both woodnecks. But my friend owns 1164010W and that one's a wraparound, so my theory is kind of blown there. Is 009 a stereo guitar, or monaural?
Perhaps these guitars were retrofitted with metal necks after serialization. I believe the number indicates the 9th guitar serialized, since there were unnumbered prototypes and other guitars that went out the back door, apparently.

Which changer does it have on it? Does it have the 1964 changer with cast fingers and no spacers between the fingers, and a few other oddities under the guitar, or the more conventional Emmons push pull changer seen on 1965 onward?
Sounds like the guitar may have been a Wood neck that was converted. Is there a longer than normal control panel mounted on the top deck between the necks, or are switches built into the side of the neck? By longer than normal, I am guessing 5 1/2 inches or more.
I know of one other 1964 "W" guitar that started life as a woodneck and was converted to an aluminum neck guitar.
