Gibson Epiphone Releases Custom Joan Jett Olympic Special Guitar

Joan Jett has played her iconic black and white Gibson guitar since I can remember. She still plays the same one too, only now its covered in stickers and banged up like a good guitar is supposed to be. Well played. And now you can own your own Joan Jett Custom Olympic Special guitar. Joan explains the new axe in this video.

And at only $549 it is more affordable than many rock star models especially if you start looking as Les Pauls or other custom models. According to Epiphone’s press release: “Epiphone is proud to introduce the Joan Jett Olympic Special based on Jett’s longtime favorite stage guitar. A lightweight stage-ready powerhouse with all of the essentials you need to rock, it features a single PowerHammer PRO humbucker wired to a single CTS volume potentiometer, a single black Speed-style volume knob has a rubber grip band for precision control. The adjustable wraparound bridge/tailpiece delivers full intonation adjustability and anchors solidly to the mahogany body for excellent sustain. The guitar features a special request from Joan — a unique “Kill Switch” toggle on the guitar that mutes and un-mutes. A reproduction of Jett’s autograph is located on the rear of the classic Olympic Special headstock, along with custom Jett stickers, and a Custom Premium Gig Bag is included in the guitar package.”

So this a great guitar for anyone whether you’re just learning or already know how to shred. Check out Joan and her guitar through the years. She also has models in all black.
