Personal Reflection:
This Rock N Roll Relics USA '59 Heartbreaker Les Paul in Heavy Aged Sherwood Green over 3-Tone Burst is one of the most visually striking guitars we've ever had in the shop. The layered finish gives it a unique depth—Sherwood Green cracking and wearing down to reveal the classic 3-Tone Burst beneath. It feels like a guitar that’s seen decades of heavy use on stages around the world. The heavy aging only adds to the appeal, with perfectly worn spots that make the guitar feel broken in from the first moment you pick it up.
Tonally, the Mojo Tone humbuckers are an absolute dream. They provide the perfect vintage PAF tone, balancing warmth with clarity, and can handle anything from smooth blues to gritty rock. The aging on the hardware, combined with the relic finish, gives the guitar a truly authentic vibe—like you’re holding a well-loved and well-played piece of history.
The '59 neck profile is substantial yet comfortable, making long playing sessions enjoyable without sacrificing playability. The rosewood fretboard is smooth, and the trapezoid inlays tie it all together with that classic Les Paul look.
Condition Report:
This 2022 Rock N Roll Relics '59 Heartbreaker Les Paul is in mint condition, with all wear and aging being intentionally applied as part of the relicing process. The Sherwood Green over 3-Tone Burst finish is heavily aged to perfection, with wear spots revealing the underlying burst finish in a visually stunning way. The aged nickel hardware adds to the overall vintage aesthetic, while the electronics and pickups are fully functional, delivering that rich, punchy tone. The guitar comes with its original Rock N Roll Relics hardshell case and all relevant paperwork.
