About

Alloy grew out of a simple idea “how can we improve the guitar building experience?”. Our founder Steve Bennett has played the guitar since 8th grade and thought it would be fun to build a DIY kit with his son. Quickly realizing the pitfalls, experiencing frustration with cheap components and parts that didn’t fit well out of the box, he decided to do something about it. Alloy began providing high quality parts and kits and quickly grew into one of America’s top OEM facilities, manufacturing under contract for all types of brands. Producing high-quality, handcrafted electric guitar bodies, necks and kits is a group project. That’s why we’ve worked to develop our manufacturing techniques and designs. Everywhere we can do so, we produce our own products in our factory outside of Portland, Oregon. Additionally, we partner with manufacturers who value craftsmanship and quality. Each of our partners has a long legacy of making and selling products that are beautiful, meaningful, and made to last. In every case, we assure that parts that we source externally work well together.

We love working with OEM customers to see their product ideas realized and on the market.

We are a family-owned company building products and traditions that we expect to last for a long, long time. We produce instrument kits with exacting specifications, high quality production, and domestic, sustainably-cultivated sources of materials whenever possible.
