I had a similar experience. Bought an HD28V from a forum sponsor but it didn’t sound as good as the one I had played at GC. Brought the one I had bought from a sponsor to GC compared them side by side and shore enough the one at GC sounded more “alive” for lack of a better descriptor. It was also quite light. Don’t know if that had anything to do with it.
Anyway GC matched the price. I’m surprised your GC wouldn’t do the same. Maybe each store is different. Quote:

My experience is guitars in general vary a lot in tone and playability, even among the same model, including high-end makes. Maybe it’s the strings, setup, lack of playing-in, but they’re all subjectively different to me. I had a J-45 TV I really liked for a couple of years but most standard J-45s I’ve tried at my local GC were just okay.

Electrics are a little more consistent... in my experiences, playing one locally (say a strat), then buying one online... not a huge difference. Especially after a setup. But acoustics? Especially GIBSONs these days? I would have bought THAT guitar. Honestly, if I found an acoustic that I thought was a lifetime keeper (I know we don't always know that, sometimes for years), I would buy it, even if I had to put some of it on a credit card. Because over a lifetime, it doesn't matter. And if I just had the cash, I would have accepted GC's price. I don't haggle too much over price if I think a guitar is really special.

They said they would price match which they did. I'm just not leaving money on the table. I was in sales for over forty years.
