Yes--I believe the correct answer is "any guitar with a K&K and a good outboard preamp."
Something like a
Bedell MB-17 (all solid, great guitars, $500) +
K&K Onboard Trinity ($500) = great playing, great sounding, plugged in or not, for $1k.
I tried the Aura and various LR Baggs solutions and they sounded terrible to me. It wasn't an installation problem--I tried them on showcase guitars set up by the pickup manufacturers.
