Product information

Tommy Rodriguez’s Dottie is the Tele-Paul reimagined - effortless feel, endless sustain, and tone that hits you in the chest.

If you’ve ever chased that perfect middle ground between a Tele and a Les Paul - snap and clarity meets power and sustain - this is what that dream looks like, fully realized.

Plenty of builders have taken a swing at the “Tele-Paul” recipe, but few hit the sweet spot like Tommy does. His guitars don’t just check boxes, they move you when you play them. They resonate against your body, respond to the lightest touch, and carry notes that seem to bloom and hang in the air a second longer than they should. Super inspiring stuff to be sure.

We’ve played a lot of guitars over the years - enough to know when something really special crosses your path. One that stops you in your tracks. And this Dottie? It did exactly that. From the first chord, you feel the attention in every detail - the balance, the neck carve, the way the sustain just flows. It’s the kind of guitar that doesn’t fight you.

This isn’t just a hybrid concept. It’s a deeply musical instrument, built by hands that know what a player’s looking for.

Try it - you won't regret it.
