What sets Thomas Rodriguez’s work apart is his commitment to the old-school, by-hand approach – every detail meticulously crafted, every curve shaped the traditional way. Why does this matter? Feel.

The “Tele-Paul” concept – blending the best attributes of a Fender Telecaster and a Gibson Les Paul – has steadily earned its place in the electric guitar world over the last decade or more. Many luthiers have attempted their own take on this hybrid recipe, but every resulting guitar reflects a unique vision.

Tommy’s guitars don’t just sound great; they respond to you. They feel alive, vibrant, and soulful in a way that only instruments built with this level of care can. The sustain is breathtaking, the resonance undeniable – and every note seems to linger just a bit longer.

We’ve played countless guitars here at the shop, but Tommy’s work always stops us in our tracks. This Dottie is no exception. From the first strum, you’ll know this is something special – the kind of guitar that feels like an extension of yourself.

Guitars like this don’t just happen; they’re crafted by hands with decades of experience. Check it out. Trust us – you’ll feel the difference.
