What's going on here?
A section of the soundboard at the soundhole is missing. Something seems to be stuck with gaffa tape as well.
What has the bridge been plugged with? Probably best not to know.
There seems to be a gap between the neck and the fretboard
All for just £219.
A bargain.

Actually not just a good thing... a thing worth doing.
Actually not even that.
I don't get why he doesn't understand that the things he does are a total waste of time, they make the guitar infinitely worse than before and appeal to no one other that idiots who don't know better.

MONKEY JESUS.
Look at that bass.... odd finish screws in the scratchplate, different knobs, those tuners(!!) etc etc. He makes out he’s a luthier and it’s all about the care he takes but he obviously doesn’t give a toss... either that or he’s seriously shortsighted.
Not everyone can afford boutique custom made.
I don't admire his work but I've seen far worse.
Not everyone can afford boutique custom made, ok, but he’s not exactly giving his work away either. For £150 worth of work to a cheap guitar I’d still expect a hell of a lot better.
Why? There were holes for six extra tuners no-one will ever need again, of course.
Well five actually, he's kept a spare hole in case some plucky young guitar pioneer wants to turn it into a seven-string.
I'm not defending his work, I just think people are unrealistic to expect custom shop quality at his prices.
Won't anyone please think of the poor sausage fingered with their gigantic deformed hands?
He received some kind and free advice from experienced professionals on here but didn’t take it onboard.
He’s not hoodwinking anyone - one thing he does do is photograph every detail of his monstrosities - anyone stupid enough to buy one deserves what they get which is a shit guitar.
He’s deluded about what he’s producing but he probably can’t help that.

And if Harley Benton's are almost as good as R9's, why shouldn't an MDP be almost as good as a fender?
I can understand that he's deluded enough to believe that he's doing something worthwhile to those poor guitars.
What I'm having serious trouble believing is his eBay feedback.
I can think of 2 explanations;
1. His alter-ego sets up new eBay accounts any buys everything that he lists.
2. Anyone dumb enough to actually buy one of his things is also dumb enough to believe that they've got a guitar worthy of positive feedback.
