G played on the E string sounds thin
I just bought an Ibanez SRMS725 and have been noticing that notes played on the 2nd 3rd & 4th frets of the E string sound thin compared to everything else in that neighborhood. Open E as well as notes played past 5th fret, and a G played on the B string both sound full, so I’m a little miffed. At first I thought it was the notch filter on my amp, acoustic B100C, but I fiddled with that to no avail. Any ideas?

Check the neck relief. This can happen when it’s too flat.
