Maton does a good job with their pickup system, but it still doesn't sound quite like a true acoustic guitar to my ears.

One of the reasons I bought a Cole Clark is that, to me, it sounds just like itself when it's amplified through its pickup system. Of course, that's my personal experience, YMMV, but if that's what you're after maybe it's worth checking out one.
