all this looking around, I stumbled onto the fact that Thomann sell unplayable instruments at massive discount, sold for decoration only:

This thread says that some folks bought them and only found small flaws:
http://basschat.co.uk/topic/227421-thomann-selling-harley-benton-basses-as-decoration-only/page__hl__7 string
as an example,
£40 for an acoustic bass, normally £105

a nylon cutway with spruce top for £45, normally £120:

I'd suggest that for projects these are a more economical starting point
I can only see acoustics in at the minute, and a banjo
And a sax for £150!
