Default intonation

I was very interested in a carbon guitar because I live in an RV and like to have my guitar in outdoor settings. I went to the LA guitar store to try them out. I tried rainsong and blackbird, and in both cases, and with multiple models, when I played a G chord the low G (finger on 3rd fret of low E string) was sharp. If I let up on the pressure it would be in tune but not play cleanly. Very strange!! The people working there didn't know what the problem was. I tried one other carbon, forget the brand but it was very heavy, and it did not have that problem. Given how popular rainsong is, in particular, I found this intonation issue very odd. Has anyone else had that problem?
