This timeframe is indicative and mainly depends on the availability of parts currently in stock in our workshop. Delivery can be faster, as reducing the delay between order confirmation and shipping remains one of our main priorities. We continuously work to keep the necessary parts available in order to optimize production and assembly.
Take the time to discover the instrument in your own environment with our 30-day return policy. This approach allows you to experience the feel, balance, resonance, and response of the instrument without pressure or compromise. For more information, please refer to our FAQ or home trial section.
Each instrument is assembled, adjusted, and carefully inspected in our workshop before shipping. Action, intonation, neck adjustment, electronics, hardware, and finishing details are individually checked on every model. Every instrument leaves the workshop in optimal playing condition and ready for immediate use.

Details
The Alpha Junior keeps the original design in a more direct, stripped-back approach. The setup around its raw hand-brushed aluminium body brings the guitar to a lightweight 3.1 kg. A selected African mahogany neck with a 24.75″ scale pairs with a single humbucker, keeping the instrument simple and focused.

An original design you can trust.
Built from selected African mahogany with a rosewood fretboard and a 12″ radius, the Alpha Junior offers a familiar and well-balanced feel. The neck profile, designed by Steelyjam, is shaped for a natural and comfortable grip across all playing styles. The high-gloss finish brings a smooth, refined touch while supporting long-term durability. Each neck undergoes a tension-based leveling process, improving accuracy and consistency along the fretboard. The Junior neck features our standard 16:1 ratio tuning machines. With its traditional 24.75″ scale length, the instrument feels immediately comfortable and intuitive to play. In partnership with Elixir Strings, all our models are equipped with OPTIWEB .010-.046 strings, selected for their crisp tone, natural feel, and extended lifespan.
Only one humbucker is enough.
A single Steelyjam humbucker drives a focused and direct tonal approach. The pickup can be switched between series and parallel modes, offering two distinct responses without adding complexity. Series mode emphasises depth and output, while parallel mode brings a more open and defined character. The winding has been developed to maintain clarity in both configurations, keeping the sound controlled and usable in any context. A simple control layout keeps adjustments immediate and intuitive. Each wiring is based on our original and universal PCB, enabling clean assembly and quick component changes without soldering.
The beauty of raw material.
The hand-brushed finish reveals aluminium in its most authentic and raw expression. Pre-brushed with a random pattern, each instrument features a unique surface that evolves over time, naturally capturing the marks of the player. Rather than remaining fixed, the finish develops its own character through use, creating a subtle and organic patina. Over time, the instrument becomes truly yours, shaped by your playing and your touch. If needed, the surface can easily be refreshed or reworked using regular 180-grit sandpaper with water, allowing you to redefine the brushing lines.
The advantages of an aluminium body.
The one-piece aluminium body defines the foundation of Steelyjam instruments. It combines precision manufacturing with long-term reliability, using advanced CNC machining and laser cutting to create a rigid, stable welded structure. Aluminium delivers a clear and balanced tonal response, with direct vibration transfer across the entire body. Its conductive properties also help reduce electromagnetic interference, resulting in a clean and noiseless signal. Like wood, it can be endlessly customised using techniques such as anodising, painting, surface treatment, or laser engraving. Resistant to temperature and humidity variations, it maintains its structural integrity over time.
