To celebrate the 40th anniversary of rock ‘n’ roll icon Joan Jett’s landmark albums ‘Bad Reputation’ and ‘I Love Rock ‘n Roll,’ Epiphone has just created an Olympic Special electric guitar in ‘Aged Classic White’ in honour of the legendary artist.

Modelled after the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductee’s long time favourite stage guitar, the Olympic Special is a lightweight stage-ready powerhouse with all of the essentials built-in for your convenience. 

Not only does it feature a single PowerHammer PRO humbucker wired to a single CTS volume potentiometer, it also boasts a single black Speed-style volume knob that has a rubber grip band for precision control. 

On top of that, the wraparound bridge/tailpiece delivers full intonation adjustability and anchors solidly to the mahogany body for excellent sustain. 

The guitar also features a special request from Joan—a unique ‘Kill Switch’ toggle on the guitar that mutes and unmutes.

A reproduction of Joan Jett’s autograph is also located on the rear of the classic Olympic Special headstock, along with custom stickers and a premium gig bag included in the package.
