Default Cutaway=electronics?

For some reason it seems very common to find cutaway crossovers only offered with factory electronics. I like a cutaway but don't want electronics, or a guitar that was designed to be amplified.
What would be some examples of crossovers (that street at 2k usd or less), that feature a cutaway but no electronics?

Kenny Hill New World crossovers offer a cutaway/no electronics option. IMHO, the best crossover bang for the buck.

I'd suggest checking out the Kenny Hill New World La Curva Crossover cutaway.

http://www.fernandezmusic.com/ usually has some cutaway models that are purely acoustic.

The R. Fernandez Model 70-cutaway is made by Esteve in Spain, all solid wood (Cedar/Indian Rosewood), Spanish heel, standard classical dimensions (not a "crossover", so that may be a deal breaker for you), for around $1700.

I own a similar, slightly higher-end non-cutaway model that Esteve used to make (the Model 75), and I love it.

The Cervantes Crossover I or Crossover II would fit the bill for you perfectly. I'm anxiously awaiting one I have coming in Indian Rosewood/Spruce that should be here any day
