Does my Taylor T5 sound acoustic 'enough' here?

This is a video of our first gig, playing Many The Miles by Sara Bereilles. I play via pickup position 1, through a Boss compressor and Bose T1 with a T5 setting, with most of the mids cut out.

It sounds really good the way you use it in this song and in such a noisy place it even works great. Yet, if I had not known that you were playing a T5 I would certainly have discerned you were playing electric. Probably also because of your somewhat funky attack and small licks. Well done sir! Loved the harmonics.

Thanks. I'm trying to get more "air" out of it. I usually play through a Bose L1 Compact but in this gig we played through the main band's PA.
