Big Thanks for listening,

Ken - I kinda like it - it's sort of like a mix of surf guitar and elevator music. It does have some odd harmonies, but that may be what you're shooting for. Honestly, I wouldn't listen to this a lot, because instrumentals, IMO, need to have some surprises to hold my attention. Something like this might work better with vocals. But it's not bad.

I have to agree that the tune could use a stronger lead melodic instrument/vocal to better carry it forward.   What you have though sounds good IMO.   Mix-wise the guitars are a bit up front for my tastes, particularly because they're throughout the tune.
 
FWIW, I actually like the delay on the guitar that seems to be adding harmonies - sounds pretty cool to me.  It might work well as a solo section or to balance a separate main melody.
