  worst case is try a feedback supressor

  I'd suggest an acoustic guitar preamp/DI. There are several brands, I myself use L.R.Baggs ParaDI with my K&K:

  It's very easy to use. You just find the feedback frequenzy and cut it to a level where it no longer bleeds. For a 14-fret oval hole like yours it probably is around f-sharp or g. Then you adjust your volume and gain, EQ your tone to match your taste, and you're ready to play anywhere.
  
  The cool thing about it is that you always sound OK, regardless where you plug yourself into, be it your own amp, a borrowed rack or a house PA, because you've got the outgoing power and EQ in your own hands.

  The Baggs is great, a real workhorse. Here's another option with even more capabilities:

  I'm actually thinking about that Lunchbox acoustic amp, now.

  If you're not using the k&k preamp you might have an impedance mismatch. Try soldiering a 1 megohm resistor in your cable. It will drop the bass frequencies and should help with the low feedback.

  I actually get less feedback with my K&K without the K&K preamp. Your amp may have something to do with it. Electric guitar amps tend to be midrangey. I use a keyboard amp, and have few problems.
