I agree with the basic premise that a smaller, somewhat thinner guitars are likely to have the responsiveness for a lot of fast work.
A good 00-sized guitar works. I have an old Harmony auditorium-sized with ladder bracing and rock out on it all the time. Toys in the Attic and Girls Got Rhythm sound great

Id agree about the ovation -but not your only choice -
it has to play easy , easy to fret, and a fast neck never mind it being a narrow or wide - possibly have it set up for low action with no buzzing , dont wrao your hand around the neck - play it like classical style with your thumb on the center on the neck back - practice strumming , various tempos and beats ( like it a rhythm machine ) maybe put brighter strings on it -my favorite is elixar PB's - my 12 fret Horton long body dread is a loud guitar - which is great for the Stones and other hard rock music. you need to put in alot of time to get the music down on a acoustic - but acoustics work

I would definitely be looking at Takamine and Ovations.

Ovation or one of those Carvin AC-175 types of guitars.

For the rhythm guitar parts you don't need much sustain and you'll be damping the power chords anyway. Since the timbre will be different on acoustic (without a pickup anyway) to pull it off you'll need to get the rhythm feel right.
Just about any acoustic could do that played with the right attitude and skill. The Ovation neck throughout the years of the their popularity felt a lot like an electric guitar neck and might aid you in carrying over some characteristic chord grips from electric. A Gitanne "Gypsy Jazz" style guitar might be another interesting choice here. In an acoustic band arrangement even something like mandolin or mandolin family instrument playing "chop" rhythm would be another path. Freddie Green style archtop guitar comping would be another idea. The lead parts can be carried off with attitude and skill too, but a 12-string would be my choice, particularly if you thinking acoustic as opposed to using a pickup. There's some chorusing in the arpeggio parts in the middle of the song, a natural thing for 12-string acoustic to portray. Not Metallica, but I used to like to try do Gang of Four songs on 12-string acoustic--that lots of harmonics timbre with some harmonics feeding back can surprisingly be approached with a 12-string using natural and artificial harmonic notes on the strings.
