A Rock Icon's Iconic Guitar

Joan Jett is without question a legendary rock musician. A member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, her artistic vision and pioneering spirit have inspired countless musicians of all ages worldwide. Epiphone is proud to introduce the Joan Jett Olympic Special. Based on Joan’s longtime favorite stage guitar, it is a lightweight, stage-ready powerhouse with all of the essentials you need to rock, with no frills to get in your way. It features a single PowerHammer PRO humbucker wired to a single CTS® volume potentiometer. The single black Speed-style volume knob has a rubber grip band for precision control. An on/off toggle switch provides “kill switch” functionality. The adjustable wraparound bridge/tailpiece delivers full intonation adjustability and anchors solidly to the mahogany body for excellent sustain. Die-Cast tuners and a Graph Tech® 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. A Custom Premium Gig Bag is included.
