[Closed] Fender.....or not!

I'd go for a first series 59 Strat Relic. Love mine.

I prefer Gibsons personally

.....I should have guessed 🙄

Fender? What's wrong with mudguard?

Solution: DPM/waterproof shorts, bibs underneath, stone/tile/wood floors between the front door and the shower.

Crud catcher on the downtube and an old innertube between the fork crown and brace (+ a mug of MTFU!) and an ass saver on the rear.

So often rides are wet even in Summer - I just leave a set of mudhuggers on all year round.

Wouldn't match the colorway on his decals, braw.

Mine has an awesome massive shockboard- the endurocanoe- on the front. Looks awful, rattles all the time, stops mud like a force field. I may have been a [i]little[/i] smug when other people's forks blocked up around their bender fenders today...

The hardtail usually gets a rear one for winter. Actually, maybe the new full suss will take one too- old one wouldn't, only reason it didn't have one. I always wonder what sort of riding people who're against the idea do, waterproof shorts are no real alternative (as good as they are), can't see any reason to make a long winter ride any more unpleasant than it has to be. Any idiot can get muddy/wet but some seem to think it's a badge of honour.

Wish Crud would bring back the 3-bolt crudcatcher, maybe with the new mudguard blade... Best mudguard ever, after a couple of revisions the replacement is still shit sadly. 5 minutes with lathe and soldering iron to make it work right but that's a bit beyond normal fitting advice...

16 Back Duke Ellington for a start, on guitar (8)

Mucky nutz front guard just lives on my bike, unobtrusive & pretty effective, use with a crud catcher there even better Imo

Telecaster for me. Though was thinking of a hollowbody PRS.

Telecaster through a '59 Bassman every time.

Or mudguards.
