If you want to use a mic and a regular guitar amp, you can use something like a L.R.Baggs Para Acoustic DI.
BTW, the Para Acoustic DI is a great piece of kit for any acoustic player. I would highly recommend it. The EQ is very well suited for dialing out the boominess, reducing feedback, and sweetening the tone.

I have a LR Baggs Para Acousti DI that I use with a Pick Up The World pickup on my SJ that sounds great! I also have a SM57 that I might try for the archtop.
I've checked out the reviews and audio clips on the clip on DPA 4099 which is a goose neck miniature shotgun microphone. There is a good review by Ry Cooder on this mic and he is a perfectionist when it comes to sound.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
