The only feasible way to do this would be to compare identical carbon fiber guitars with and without electronics. CF material is far more consistent than wood (even adjoining flitches of the same log) and each guitar quite literally comes out of the same mold. And there would still likely not be any perceptible difference in a blind test.

If you need electronics, then you a pickup system of some kind is important. If not, then find a guitar that you like without electronics. It doesn't seem any more complicated than that - to me. So: Deal or No Deal? I used to gig and therefore have several guitars with electronics. I no longer gig, so the last few purchases have been au naturel.
