Getting back to first principles, can this device capture the sound of your guitar in an IR, and then can you use that IR through sound amplification and hear the guitar as if it is being miked? The video of the shoot out didn’t quite seem to answer that question directly.
I suppose that if the company who makes this device had also expanded their downloadable IR catalog to include a couple of Selmer/Maccaferri style guitars, we could use it in a pinch. Otherwise, we are stuck with the same problem: trying to capture the sound of these particular guitars and amplify them.
That's what he's doing. He's using Neumann KLM184 to capture it. The sound he's demoing is from his DAW, should be the same sound he can send to the amp and play live.
Hearing what he captured gives me hope. That was only drawback from the samples Vic posted, and that seems to be what I'm getting; I wish it had some airiness to the sound.

I found a few interesting things today. I'll start a new thread since this one is already very long.
