I'd have the pickups dipped in wax. Also I've heard (but not tried myself) of stuffing the body cavity full of foam rubber to slow down resonance.

Use a eq to find the frequencies causing the feedback then cut those frequencies.A parametric eq with adjustable Q is the best choice,a graphic would also work.

stuff some t-shirts into the cavity. I dont know how Ted Nugent did it. He played those Birdlands...and he was LOUD as heaven!!!

I had the same problem with my Dean Chafin Del Sol when I played on stage. Feedback was always a problem.
Several different sources suggested that I stuff the F-holes with insulation.
I ended up buying a PRS for the stage, I still have the Chafin but only use it in the studio.
BTW, the sound man had a love/hate relationship with the Chafin guitar. The tone was great but he spend considerable time at each gig trying to move mikes and monitors around to eliminate the feedback.

Ted was the king of playing "with" feedback. Its kind of sustain on steroids. I have plenty of feedback when I play live. Volume peddle are really good at controlling what is basical an out of control sound. Flat out while playing, peedle volume of when you stop. I get a more controlled feedback setup in the studio by cranking guitar and amp up till it screams then back the guitar vol back a bit till it goes. Usaully one or two notches does the trick.
Feedback is good. It lets your amp share the pain.
