I really like tone of your acoustic guitar. Though, the kick seems a little boxy to me.
The mix is fairly dry, consider some light reverb or stereo width.

Agree the kick is boxy and loud as well. Thats a shame for the rest sounds pretty well balanced, a bit fightin in the middle frequencies, but if you sorted the kick (have you checked phase ? I think kick 2 were flipped in my mix, made a big difrence)
Agree with more use of the pan button.
I dont know about reverb, I dont miss it, but it could be added, like a sauce where it could take more pepper but it doesnt need it.
You write "mastered"
Im pleased its not squashed to death as we used to some years ago. But a good practice, especially when you label i "mastered" is cut off empty sound in the beginning, and in the end of course. who wants to hoste empty silence ...
Try work more on the kick. Will do wonders for your mix.
