Agree with Spook that your Wes is not optimum for that sound, but still I played around with a couple of mine this morning (L-5 with floater). Here's my steps:
No tone knob, or tone set to minimum attenuation.
Low output on pickup, volume set very low, like three or four, but not so low as to roll off too much treble.
Bass and treble on amp boosted, or mids cut.
OK, that gets me closer to a regular acoustic flattop tone, but maybe not the tone in your example.
For that, how about:
Keep the bass cut a little, boost the mids around 400-800 Hz, boost the treble. Still keep the guitar output low so you can really swing at those strings.
Mmm, a challenge. Keep us all posted.
