The D string on my new J-45 standard sounds unmusical , as if there are no rich overtones . I can tune the string with my electronic tuner but it never sounds musical. I think it has Gibson Premium Masterbuilt 12-52 strings installed by Gibson.

Before you do all that, try changing the string for a new one. Sometimes there are dead strings in new packs.

Hi. Your guitar may not be intonated properly. You might want to try to level and balance the height and strings all throughout the neck. The level at the rear half (close to the soundhole) can be slightly higher than the front half (near the headstock). This can be done be adjusting the truss rod, nut and/or saddle.
Note: You may want to get a guitar luthier to do the trussrod, nut and saddle adjustments as these are very delicate procedures.
