Back when that guy who used to run Levis took over Gibson I predicted that given his record of pushing skinny yoga pants it would not be long before we saw a new crop of slim line guitars. Hey, I was only joking.

I have tried the G45 as well and don't really like it. Perhaps its the rosewood neck and bridges making it so midrangey. I'd suggest perhaps to sell it. Wait for another opportunity to get something you'll enjoy

Traded my G45 Studio
I traded my G45 Studio and some cash and got a Martin D-16E Mahogany. Like you, I had always wanted a Gibson and thought this was a good solid wood entry level guitar. The G45 had a couple of dead spots on the fretboard. I bought it online without playing it first. I purchased the Martin from a local shop and played every fret before I bought it. No dead spots. I also made sure I could comfortably do all the techniques I wanted to on it (barre chords, fingerstyle, etc.). From now on I will always play before I buy. I instantly bonded with the D-16. The G45 never quite fit.

Update: I've come to discover that the G-45 is AMAZING for fingerpicking. Some songs sound better with fingerpicking on my G-45 than on my other guitars... For example, the G-45 is my favorite guitar to use for The Beatles' Blackbird...
I guess it's good to have different guitars for different types of playing. My Martin has a much fuller sound for strumming - but this Gibson has such a clear and crisp sound for fingerpicking. I'm enjoying it!

I replied and missed one of the posts! Glad to see that you found a niche for the G-45!
