.@tompetty and the Heartbreakers stand among America’s most influential and beloved rock ’n’ roll bands. Through unforgettable live performances, timeless recordings, and a catalog of songs that continues to inspire generations of musicians and fans, Tom Petty’s legacy as a songwriter, performer, and storyteller remains as strong as ever, proving that great songs never go out of style.
We are honored to partner with the band to celebrate 50 years of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and their profound impact on rock music with the limited-edition Tom Petty Flying V 50th Anniversary.
These special guitars feature mahogany construction, a fast-playing SlimTaper neck, a pair of 70s Tribute humbuckers, and exclusive commemorative details inspired by the iconic Heartbreakers logo featured on the band’s 1976 debut album. These include a Heartbreaker 50 truss rod cover and a reproduction Tom Petty signature decal on the back of the headstock.
Only 50 guitars were produced in each color; the Tom Petty Flying V is available in Heartbreaker Red, Graphite Metallic, Pearl White, Pelham Blue, and Gainesville Gold gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes.

“When I would go out to open up on stage...I wasn't used to playing these big arenas…[so Tom] walks with me out on stage and introduces me to his crowd, you know, ‘cause he was so worried that I didn't feel comfortable. See, he remembers. He never forgets. He remembers what it was like when he was at the level I was.”
The second episode of ‘One on One: The Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Official Podcast,’ is out now featuring @HappyWoman9.

Everyone felt a kinship with Tom Petty – alt rockers, metalheads, pop divas, rock icons, country artists, countless rank-and-file fans and, yes, rock critics. We all somehow felt like Petty was our guy. That’s what it’s like when rock music is genuine.

“When you have the multitracks, you get to hear what happens after they faded it out in the stereo mix…Usually bands kind of go to a certain point, the energy kind of drops. These guys, once they got into a groove and they got to the outro, they would just keep going. And in some cases what they did was so interesting and so cool, I just decided to let it go all the way to the end.” - Ryan Uylate
The extended mix for “Fooled Again (I Don’t LIke It)” is out now. More extended versions of tracks from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ first two studio albums are available on ‘Origins 1971-1978’. Pre-order your copy now.
