IMO more like Pooss, with a long "u." And the end is a true s sound rather than z or sh.

No, came across it on a YouTube vid and hadn't seen the brand before. They have some interesting takes on classic shapes.
My American-English speaking mind was squarely in the gutter pronouncing this one at first, though I figured it was probably Czech or Polish in origin :biglaugh:

"Stunning"?
Did you actually say "stunning"???!!!
In what respect?!
The hideous "tobacco" stained pickguard and paint?
The magnificent fake relic/antique job?
The absolutely horrendous fake wear on the fretboard?
That it has one chrome and one cream pup (cream color that doesn't match or coordinate with anything else...even though they tried to tobacco stain it too)?
Or is it the orange three-way tip? Yeah that's pretty "stunning" (but not in a good way).
I'd be afraid of catching some flesh-eating bacteria from touching it.
I have to admit, though, that the offset looks kinda ok (but just not quite).
The chrome Tele knobs are ok. Yeah, they look fine. But still, not even close to "stunning".
Uhhhh......... what else? Maybe the screws, but I can't see them clear enough to tell for sure if they are stunning or not. They probably have stripped heads to match the rest of the fake "relic" job.
I certainly wouldn't buy that guitar at ANY price and I probably wouldn't even accept it if it was given to me...too much work to fix it up.
If I were looking for a guitar that I could do a Hendrix or Townsend thing to on stage, maybe I'd accept it as a gift. But, then again, no...not quite the look. It has to at least LOOK like a decent guitar to have the right impact.

Didn't actually say it, but yes, that's what I've typed. And I meant it.
Well, yeah. All of it. I like it. All of the stuff that seems to piss you off, I seem to like about it. The world is a colourful garden, what can I say.
Well, boy do I have great news for you! You don't need to buy it, and I highly doubt anyone will give it to you for free, so you're off the hook.
I mean, we're talking about something as subjective as can be - looks.
Can't be that shocking to you that tastes differ wildly, right?
And say what you will, but you definitely seem stunned!
Yes I get what you say. And I DO appreciate that everyone has his own taste about esthetics. I personally love variety myself and I do like things that are different and innovative that can add something to the variety that I love.
I love Renoir, Monet, Van Gough, Rembrandt, and even early Picasso...and some Kandinsky. Classical music, rock from the 60s, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Joplin, Hendrix, CSNY, Chicago, ELO, Eagles, Mammas and Pappas, Carpenters, Amy Grant, Yes, soft rock, hard rock, punk rock, some metal, and even some rap (but not much), Country music.
Thank goodness I'm off the hook. I was afraid they may come to my house and force me to buy that monster "or else". Or even worse...make me touch it!
You are absolutely correct...I am definitely stunned. I know how much work goes into making a custom guitar. And to end up with such a waste...I am stunned. Doing a good classic relic job or antiquing is one thing, but doing an obviously fake (and a bad one at that) is totally another. Yes, I am stunned that someone would waste their precious time doing such a bad job. And more stunned that someone would actually like it. Yes, I get subjectivity and taste. But let's face a little reality here. Put your acceptance into a job well done.
So I guess, after all, I AM "stunned", as you say.
Totally and completely.
(And in that respect, yes, that guitar is indeed "stunning"...at least to you and me).

Now that one looks ok. Better with a black soapbar.

Interesting, we have very similar tastes in that regard. Just not about this specific guitar. I'd say we have much more in common than not, as far as I can tell, atleast.
I took the liberty of bolding completely subjective words and phrases from this paragraph. Seems more productive than commenting on it in a derrogatory manner.
Oh, and BLACK SOAPBARS ON THAT POWDER BLUE FINISH? R U FKN KIDDING ME???
See what I did there?
