The options are to mic it which, the mic will hit feedback before you hit the proper volume. You cannot move away from the mic even an inch
Clip on mic. Maybe the best option but you have to get the expensive one
Install pickup - has to be a great pickup and then has to go through a pedal for processing. That is the route im taking. I've looked at it every way and cannot find an easier path. This is the guitar I like and I want to get it amplified.
Not real excited about drilling a hole. Putting it off as long as possible
A pickup amplifies the vibration. A microphone amplifies the sound. What you need is a microphone with an extremely wide dynamic range as well as an amplifier with an extremely wide dynamic range then you will not hit overload.
Feedback is handled by making the output of the speaker the directional enough that it does not come back to the microphone. This also means the microphone itself must have a very directional pickup and it's line of pickup acoustically must never cross the line of the output of the speaker. If you ever watch a movie or TV show being made you'll notice a man has a boom microphone which has a very directional line of pickup and it's held over the head of the actor or whatever sound they want to pick up and it's pointed directly at them and no other person's speaking voice or other noises can typically affect that boom microphone.
