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.

The Steelyjam deluxe hardshell case combines a rigid protective structure with a vintage-inspired aesthetic. Its textured beige tweed exterior is paired with brown leather-style corners and handle, white bindings, and gold hardware details. The interior keeps the instrument stable during transport, while the large internal compartment provides space for accessories and documents.

Designed and built for comfort.

The Alpha Origin features a neck profile entirely designed by Steelyjam, shaped for a natural and comfortable grip across all playing styles. Built from roasted maple with a rosewood fretboard and a 12″ radius, it combines stability with a familiar tonal response. The high-gloss finish brings a smooth, premium feel and supports long-term durability. Each neck undergoes a tension-based leveling process, improving accuracy and consistency along the fretboard. Locking tuners allow quick and easy string changes while maintaining solid tuning stability. 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.

Two humbuckers, one voice.

The Alpha Origin is equipped with two Steelyjam humbuckers designed to deliver a balanced and expressive tonal response. Particular attention has been given to the winding process to achieve a sound inspired by classic PAF-style pickups, combining warmth, clarity, and definition. This calibration provides a controlled output with no excessive compression, preserving dynamics and articulation across all playing styles. Each pickup position offers a distinct and usable voice, from rounded neck tones to tighter, more focused bridge sounds. The result is a versatile, classic, and reliable electronic setup, built for precision in both studio and live environments. Each wiring is based on our original and universal PCB, enabling clean assembly and quick component changes without soldering.

Bolted by design.

Origin revisits Steelyjam’s original body construction, where two waterjet-cut aluminium sheets were mechanically fastened around a manually bent aluminium profile, with exposed bolts giving the instrument its distinctive industrial character. This limited edition is the “V2” of that original design. It preserves the same visual identity with a laser-cut aluminium top mechanically secured to a one-piece machined aluminium body. The result combines the raw industrial look of the first Steelyjam instruments with today’s precision manufacturing and a smooth, bolt-free back for improved playing comfort.

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.
