This is my first post here ever. I'm pretty hesitant.

The tracks were from a mix contest I found a couple of years ago. I never did anything with them till now.
Constructive criticism is welcome!

Welcome!  And being hesitant never helped ANYBODY.
 
It's a solid mix.  
If you handed it to me, I'd send the Left Guitar to an Aux track, with a quick delay (100% wet), and pan it to the matching right side of the track, so it's wider.   maybe only half as far right as the main track is left...  Then lower the volume so that it matches what's there now, since the volume is perfect.
 
Then centre the bass, it's angling the track to the lower-right.
 
But everything else in the project is perfect!  Nice work.

Thanks so much Matt!
 
I went back and forth between panning the bass center or going for a more "live" soundscape. I think I agree with you.  Same with your comments on the guitar.
 
Your post really gave me confidence! Thank you :-)

Thank you all for your encouragement. I'm surprised and flattered.
 
The raw tracks were from a mix contest that was online, which ran a few years ago. I just happened to find it and loved the song. I'll look for it and post a link.
 
The tracks are all dry and unprocessed which I also really liked. I wanted to go in as if it was a "real" project.

Interesting mix.  The guitars sound a tad dark to me but that's just me. I didn't think the sibilance you noted was a big issue. It makes the song sound more intimate. good job
