Joan Jett has always played by her own rules, and that certainly applies to her guitar of choice. As she continues to inspire new generations through her music, activism, and fearless presence, the Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special captures her raw, unapologetic energy in a stripped-down, stage-ready rock ’n’ roll machine. With its sleek finish, no-nonsense setup, and single roaring humbucker™ pickup, this guitar is all attitude and zero compromise. It’s built for players who want to plug in, turn up, and make a statement, just like Joan.
Based on Joan’s original Epiphone Olympic Special, the new Joan Jett Olympic Special features all of the essentials you need to rock, with nothing extra to get in your way, including a lightweight, asymmetrical double cutaway mahogany body with no extra weight to hold you back, a glued-in mahogany neck with an Olympic Special profile that is equipped with a rosewood fretboard with a 12” radius, 22 medium jumbo frets, and adorned with pearloid dot position marker inlays. The headstock features the historic Olympic Special shape. It is outfitted with die-cast tuners and a GraphTech® nut to ensure solid tuning and features a reproduction of Joan’s signature on the back of the headstock in gold. The Joan Jett Olympic Special has a single PowerHammer ProBucker™ pickup for raw, unfiltered tone. It is paired with a single volume control using a CTS® volume potentiometer. The volume control has a black Speed knob with a rubber grip for reliable performance, a sure grip, and precise control. An on/off toggle switch for kill-switch functionality completes the simple yet effective control layout.
The Joan Jett Olympic Special captures Joan’s signature style and is a focused instrument for players inspired by Joan’s fearless approach to sound and performance, crafted for Joan’s fans and fellow players alike. It comes packed in a custom premium gig bag and includes an artist sticker set. One pickup, one knob, one mission: pure rock. Get one today and make your own rules.
