Unleash Your Inner Rebel with the Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special

In a thrilling union of artistry and instrumentation, Epiphone has teamed up with the legendary Joan Jett to unveil the Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special. This guitar isn’t just a reissue; it’s a revival of Jett’s original Epiphone Olympic, reborn in a striking Vintage Sunburst finish that pays homage to her iconic Gibson Melody Maker. Now, this rock ’n’ roll beast is available worldwide, ready to ignite stages at authorized Epiphone dealers and online at Epiphone.com.

For those who know Joan Jett, it’s clear she’s never been one to follow the herd. Her music, activism, and indomitable spirit resonate through every note she plays. The Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special captures that very essence, delivering a lean, stage-ready weapon that screams attitude. With its single humbucker™ pickup, this guitar offers unapologetically powerful tones that demand to be heard, making it the perfect sidekick for any player looking to plug in and turn it up.

Crafted with performance in mind, the Olympic Special’s lightweight, asymmetrical double-cutaway mahogany body provides the comfort and freedom of movement that rock musicians crave. Paired with a glued-in mahogany neck shaped to the Olympic Special profile, it’s a design that prioritizes playability. The rosewood fretboard, equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and pearloid dot inlays, invites players to unleash their creativity without distraction.

The heart of this beast lies in its single PowerHammer ProBucker pickup, which delivers a raw, immediate tone that cuts through the mix. The guitar’s control layout is refreshingly stripped-back, featuring a solitary CTS® volume pot with a rubber-gripped black Speed knob for precise manipulation during those high-energy performances. An on/off toggle switch rounds out the setup, giving players the kill-switch functionality they crave for those dramatic pauses and sudden bursts.

This instrument is a tribute to Jett's iconic style and spirit, embodying the fearless approach to rock ’n’ roll that has inspired generations. The Vintage Sunburst finish, paired with a streamlined control layout, reinforces a singular philosophy: eliminate distractions and let the sound take charge. One pickup, one knob, one mission—pure, unadulterated rock.

With every detail meticulously crafted to celebrate Joan’s independent spirit, the Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special isn’t just a guitar; it’s a manifesto for every player who dares to be different. It ships in a custom premium gig bag, complete with an artist sticker set, urging you to pick it up, plug in, and make it your own. Don’t just play; make a statement with the Olympic Special.
