some chord voicings on guitar are fairly wide spaced - and that's sometime tough on a piano to replicate. When I try to "mimic" a guitar voicing on the piano I concentrate on the upper voice and the bass note, and try not to get too "thick" - that is too many notes close together. One of Bill Evans' tricks was to avoid playing "too many" notes at once...
