Not as smart as I think, not as funny as I look

Avi Alt Text: A stuffed tiger (as in plush, not as in taxidermy) mugging for the camera, being photobombed by a human, visible from the eyes up, wearing glasses with frames in subtle purple. Both subjects' eyes are a similar shade of green, but it's likely coincidental

Were you demanding to see where they keep the party animals again?

Fender Kingfish Telecaster Deluxe
Fender introduced the Telecaster Deluxe in 1972 in an effort to compete with rival Gibson in the rock scene, even going so far as to hire Gibson’s pickup designer, Seth Lover, to create a new “wide range” humbucker. (We would go into more detail about that, but unfortunately, these aren’t those pickups.) While the inspiration for the control layout is already obvious, Fender would later release an even more explicit “Troublemaker” Telecaster with a mahogany body, rosewood fretboard, half-pickguard, and tune-o-matic (sorry, “Adjusto-matic™”) bridge that was clearly just a tele-shaped Les Paul.
This signature guitar by blues artist Christone “Kingfish” Ingram has a blend of features from the Troublemaker and the standard Deluxe. Notably, the original large pickguard combined with the Adjusto-matic™ bridge and rosewood fretboard. It also has an upper bout three-way pickup toggle switch and separate volume and tone for each pickup. Also of note, the knobs on all Tele Deluxes (not just this model) are more like the ones used on Fender amps, with a smaller central cylinder and numbers that face inward rather than outward as on other top-hat style guitar knobs. Speaking of numbers, this particular guitar actually has indicator markings on the pickguard to show the knob positions, instead of having to basically go by feel.
The pickups are custom, complete with Kingfish ‘K” logo. While they retain the three-and-three pole screw placement of Fender’s wide range humbucker, they are actually regular humbucker sized, albeit with the same curious three point mounting screw system that we previously saw on the Fender Lead III. https://beige.party/@Neat_hot/113088006925909995
We always love a chonky 70s-style Fender headstock with bullet truss rod, and of course the Mississippi Night finish, which has a subtle sparkle that allegedly “comes alive” under stage lights.

It's like a mad anti-scientist: "No one laughed at me‽ I'll show them. I'll show them ALL!"

Stand-up comedians often talk about how they developed humor as a defense mechanism because they weren't athletic or good-looking or whatever else.
Whereas Elon Musk is the opposite, in that he had to become a billionaire fascist to make up for being congenitally unfunny.
