Gibson Guitar introduce the Joan Jett Blackheart

Fri, 16 Apr 2010

Gibson USA are celebrating Joan Jett by introducing the Joan Jett Blackheart, seen below.

The guitar was made in the image of Joan Jett's simple but poweful Gibson but with upgraded features.

Gibson describe the model as below:

'With the Melody Maker’s light and incredibly resonant solid-mahogany body, a quarter-sawn solid-mahogany neck with 17-degree headstock pitch, a Tune-o-matic (ABR-1) bridge with stopbar tailpice and a Corian nut to keep it all ringing true, and a single zebra-coil BurstBucker 3 pickup in the bridge position for a hot yet vintage response, the Joan Jett Blackheart is equipped for your most aggressive sonic assault, while still capable of singing sweetly when desired.'
