Named after the horse that helped power the Clyde’s shipyards in years of yore, The Clydesdale is a commission specified by and built for Stewart Matheson of the Glasgow band Layaway. The Clydesdale was the first guitar that we built all the way from CAD model to finished object: based on the classic offset shapes of a Mustang, The Clydesdale was designed to Stewart’s specifications, with each pieces being custom designed to what he wanted.
The combination of a beautifully crimson stained ash body, birds-eye maple neck, and Wenge fretboard ensure that The Clydesdale looks like no other offset you’ve seen before. The House of Tone pickups built to specification for this guitar, along with the custom wiring combination Stewart wanted, ensure that this guitar sounds like no other offset you’ve heard before.
You can see it here in action on Layaway’s most recent video, Falling Knives:
