I relate to the OP's issue, and not all manufacturers even offer their full instrument line without electronics. As an example, I have become quite fond of having a "cut-away" type body style (easier access to the higher frets), but it is often impossible to get the cut-away guitar
without the electronics already installed by the manufacturer. Because I have a finicky ear with respect to pick-up systems, I have found myself installing a higher-end pick-up after the fact, often leaving a *dead* barn-door electronic panel in place....or otherwise trying to cover the hole. I really hate that. I would pay more just to have had the manufacturer not install the electronics, and never have cut the hole in the side of the guitar in the first place.
Idea for a side business: Offer replacement wood panels to cover the holes created when barn-door panels are removed. *sigh*
