The Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special: a rock icon's stage weapon, now available for every guitarist
Joan Jett is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, frontwoman of The Blackhearts, and one of the most influential rock guitarists of the past fifty years. The guitar that was most faithful to her on stage was the Olympic Special, and Epiphone, in collaboration with her, has brought it to life. This is not a nostalgia item: it is a stage-ready instrument built to be played.
The single PowerHammer PRO humbucker is direct, raw, and full of character, exactly what a rock guitar needs. The kill-switch functionality via the toggle switch gives the player extra control over the sound, a detail that Joan Jett herself considers typical of her playing style. The Graph Tech nut and adjustable bridge ensure good intonation and playing comfort, while the mahogany body lays the foundation for this model's well-known full, direct tone.
The characteristic headstock with Joan Jett's signature on the back, DieCast tuning machines, and a rubber grip on the speed knob are all details that show this instrument was designed with care. Lightweight and stage-ready, without unnecessary frills. Includes premium Joan Jett gig bag and Joan Jett stickers.
The Joan Jett Olympic Special is for the guitarist who shares the direct, no-nonsense approach to rock with the woman who designed it.
