You will have to use an acoustic amp of some sort to get what you want. Then with an acoustic amp you can still get as much electric tone as you desire using pedals. I use an acoustic amp for my archtop to get more of an acoustic sound but then modify it as needed with pedals from chorus, reverb, wah, flange, tube screamer, etc. A great little pedal is the Valeton Choral Mod. It has several effects and works well on an acoustic or archtop. Its very clean and cheap too. You can add a floating humbucker at the neck position and that will help a lot too. With both pickups and an acoustic amp with a multi-effect pedal you are set.
