Microphones for acoustics is really better brought up in Equipment section.
there you will find many prior posts on what others have done.
some , lavalier, clip on to the speaking person, microphones are made, and pretty cheap,
foam cover and stuff in a soundhole,
then you need an amp/mixer too
But, one approach, a budget but proper mic setup.
Behringer makes a battery powered passive mixer,

(you can record off of it too to learn jam tunes better away from the jam)
And a internal battery powered small Diaphragm condenser mic.

a mic-stand and plug earbuds into the mixer headphone jack.
all useful stuff, run off flashlight battery
Another, a buskers Amp.
Crate Taxi, charger and internal battery

headphone cuts out speaker usually,
[its so with my Roland AC60]
Or a doctors stethoscope, perhaps?
loud Banjo-mandolin will do it too .
I like 4 string banjo mandolins, double the Irish Tenor an
octave up.
more traumatic , but you are a woodworker , cut a sound hole in the top rim, facing you,
several examples of them built that way . nice ones, in past pictures.
drill a line of holes (another F hole?) and sand the edge smooth
add some touch up finish and you're good to go.
writing about music
is like dancing,
about architecture
