or it could have been a slimx that looked similar.bbut not even close 
to a 545 
i have an old 545 and never liked it cause it feeds real bad. very 
thin 
sounding. i can not figure how butterfield had such a nice tone 
through his.and 
walter i do not believe LW ever played through a 545, i could be very 
wrong.

*****Yeah, those old 545's are no good!  Let's lower the demand and 
keep the prices down for me.  :-)
No insult intended.  Personally, I don't find that they feed real 
bad.  And I'm glad LW didn't play one; it would just drive the price 
up higher -- it's tough enough that Butter did!  (It's my current 
fav -- that's why I felt compelled to reply.)
Be well, all.
