The Lyric sounds OK. I'm not a great player, but here are some recordings to show the Lyric in an unscientific comparison. The presence control is at the factory setting:
1) The Furch D24 AR recorded by a Shure iOS mic (light compression in the Shure's app), then mixed down to mono in Audacity. Three week old strings:
2) Recorded straight into an old M-Audio USB interface. Three day old strings:
3) Using an active/passive direct box of my own design that buffers the outputs:
I don't use a pedal EQ, just the sound system. Over the past several days I recorded many EQ options, including Radial's PZ-Pre and the MXR 10 band EQ, and I concluded they change the tone of the guitar. An EQ is still helpful to save a gig, or as an effect.
To another poster's point, the OP could use the PZ's 80Hz cut. In my case similar to the OP, my problem was the note "G." Therefore, on the MXR I turned down 31.25Hz and 62.5Hz all the way and 125Hz down 3dB. Still, that robbed some of the life from my tone.
BONUS:
Here is the J45 with Nickel Bronze strings. First, with a microphone:
Now with the Anthem pickup into my direct box:
