A sleek single-humbucker powerhouse based on Joan Jett’s own favorite stage guitar.
The Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special electric is based on the longtime favorite stage guitar of the legendary rock musician herself. A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Joan Jett’s artistic vision and pioneering spirit have inspired countless musicians of all ages worldwide. The Joan Jett Olympic Special is a lightweight, stage-ready powerhouse with all the essentials you need for unstoppable rock tone. It features a mahogany body and mahogany neck in a custom Olympic Special profile, topped with an Indian laurel fingerboard with 22 frets and dot inlays. Its sound is driven by a single PowerHammer PRO humbucker wired to a single CTS volume potentiometer, with a Speed-style volume knob and on/off toggle switch for “kill switch” functionality. The adjustable wraparound bridge/tailpiece delivers full intonation adjustability, and is anchored solidly to the body for rich sustain. Die-cast tuners and a GraphTech nut anchor down the strings at the other end, and a reproduction of Joan’s signature is located on the rear of the classic Olympic Special headstock. Comes with a custom premium gig bag.
