loar LH 600 or 700.
closest you'll get to Julian's sound at about 1k. it may need a little fret and nut work and a good setup out of the box though, mine did.
you might also look vintage...a Gibson L50 is nothing special tone wise, its just a cheap way to get that name on a guitar...id avoid it. old Epi's are great, but something small and affordable like Rawling's guitar will sound nothing like this. the Godins are great, but laminate...also will not sound anything like this, nor have that great volume.
yunzhi and Eastman are x braced...different sound. Nice guitars though.
if you want the best acoustic tone, you want no pickups routed into the top.
