A solid body electric would definitely cut the feedback but sound significantly different. See if you can angle your body differently to the speaker or get further away from it to see if it helps with the feedback. You could also shove a small towel into the cavity of the instrument that will dampen some of the sound as well.
Keeping feedback in check is a game of constant minor adjustments.
INTERESTING! I must assume this to apply to guitars as well, does it not?
