I agree, it sounds good. I usually like to pump up the lows a little on acoustic guitars, if there aren't any other instruments to fill it out. I might be tempted to try a few different reverb/room type things. Maybe real low, but just enough to give a little more sense of the space. I generally throw up a room mic or two for acoustic stuff.

So, maybe try some more lows on the guitars, and a little room verb (even with a low pass filter, to just give some rumble without overemphasizing/muddying the picking).

But it sounds good, and I'm probably being nitpicky!
