  • Hera - Epiphone Joan Jett Olympic Special in Aged Classic White Unboxing and Demo
    Was so excited when Epiphone announced this guitar, and had to order it from Sweetwater right away! Joan Jett and The Runaways molded me so much. Here's me unboxing this beaut, then playing some classic rock tunes by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, The Runaways, and more!

    I have this same guitar. I ordered it from Sweetwater on Jan 21 and was told it would arrive the next week and I just got mine a week ago lol. I guess you cant put to much into what the sales reps tell you. Anyway I love the guitar, very addictive and fun to play. So light.

    Congratulations on the new guitar. Been thinking of getting one myself. Fun fact; Joan Jett's original Melody Maker used to belong to The Raspberries' Eric Carmen. It was originally in Pehlam Blue. At some point he had painted white, and routed it for the additional humbucker. Carmen sold it to Jett sometime in 1975 I believe, shortly after the Berries broke up. In case you already knew that, well... thanks for indulging me for a moment.
    Congrats and enjoy.

    Cool Epi. I agree the white is nice because that's more the look JJ is known for. She uses the kill switch whenever she takes her hands off the guitar, like when she's prompting the crowd to clap, sing along etc.

    Ordered mine in February from alto music. ETA went from mid March to late March - Early May. I'm hoping it comes soon because I've been dying to play it. I'm nowhere near as talented as you but I'm more than sure that this guitar will inspire me to push myself to that level and beyond. I cannot wait. With all that said, awesome video and awesome playing! 🤘

    Awesome review. I am so tempted by one of these for the punk/rock type tracks we do in our band. My only concern was that at 6ft 2 and 230lbs it may look tiny on me. The weight is perfect as don’t like heavy guitars . Do you think would look like a kids guitar on me or be ok. Can pick one up equivalent of $130 cheaper than lost price as well. Ideally would get the melody maker but can’t find one. Love your enthusiasm . Respect from across the pond in the Uk 🇬🇧
