Wow that is a great Telecaster sound. I am a guitar player but just listening to this I wouldn't have realized it wasn't actually a guitarist playing a Telecaster. Thumbs up from me.
Yes Nigel, I agree that the sound is great, but it was already present in the Tyros 4; I remember Martin Harris saying in a demo that they had sampled a vintage Telecaster from the Fifties (I wonder how much it would sell for...maybe the equivalent of ten Tyros 5) and they did a great job, no question about it. With the Tyros 4 Harris used this same sound to do a mean version of "Lay down Sally".

I play Lay Down Sally just about every night, mainly because the style fits so well. It is just as good on PA3x as it was on S950, but the SA sound makes it easier to some of the signature licks. My friend James Burton had a little to do with making the Tele sound famous too!

Yes, I was thinking of Burton as well, but in the videos I found on YouTube his Telecaster has a different, more bell-like sound, maybe because the pickups don't look like Fenders (and he added a third one in the middle):
Don, since you mentioned the S950, do you (or anyone else) know if it has the same Tele sample?
