Joining female rock n’ rolls greats like Nancy Wilson and Izzy Hale in Epiphone’s line of artist electric guitars is the Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special Electric Guitar.
Based on Joan Jett’s longtime favorite stage guitar, the Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special Electric Guitar is a lightweight, stage-ready electric ax that has everything you need to rock but without the frills.
In other words, it is nimble and delivers. And mind you, it does not just deliver rock ’n roll sound; it delivers the familiar Joan Jett’s signature sound made possible by a single PowerHammer PRO humbucker wired to a single CTS volume potentiometer.
Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special Electric Guitar further features a rubber grip band single black Speed-style volume knob for precision control, an on/off toggle switch for “kill switch” functionality, adjustable wraparound bridge/tailpiece to deliver full intonation adjustability anchored solidly to a mahogany body, and die-cast tuners and a Graph Tech nut that anchor down the strings on the other end.
Finishing the rock icon’s iconic guitar is a reproduction of Joan’s signature around the rear of the classic Olympic Special headstock and a custom premium gig bag.
The Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special Electric Guitar is available in aged classic white and for right-hand ax-shredders.
It can be had, if you desire, for US$549. For many fans of rock n’ roll, this is probably the closest they can get to the legend.
