Acoustic pickups and recording is really not the way to go. You should use 2 mics one over the sound hole and one pointed at the neck where it joins the body of the guitar. It is best to experiment with mic placement to get the fullest sound. You can also use two tracks playing the same part play along with the first one while you record the 2nd then right left the pans this give you a much fuller sound. If this is not full enough you can use a slapback delay on each track using a 23 ms delay on one side and an 11 ms delay on the other on mix down. EQ is a cure all for accoustic guitar on mix down.

Hope this helps
