The reverb on acoustic guitars makes them sound like they have too much bottom end, the reverb's emphasis seems to be very, very low.
Despite what you're saying the mix does sound a bit like it's crammed into bus limiter. I wonder if that comes from the fact the bottom end is a bit stuffed. You can make this mix instantly more relaxing by having less of that turbo low end on the kick drum and having a bit more snap. The mix sounds a bit like you put maxxbass on the mix and turned it up to eleven.
Overall I think you've cut the mids too much; the mix is lacking a bit presence. Also it has created this weird balance where some of the instruments from which you didn't kill the mids (like bass guitar, organ wah and the horn) cut through the mix very aggressively like they don't belong in this song in the first place.
