Yamaha FS800J vs FS3 — Is This the Red Label Alternative?

Is the Yamaha FS800J Tinted a legitimate alternative to the Yamaha FS3 Red Label, or are they in completely different leagues? If you love the look and feel of Yamaha's Red Label series but don't want to spend over $1,300 CAD more, the FS800J Tinted at $300 CAD is an intriguing option. In this video, I compare these two concert-sized guitars side by side, looking at tone, build quality, playability, and overall value. This isn't about declaring a winner. The FS3 is Yamaha's premium solid-wood Red Label guitar, and it earns its reputation. But the FS800J may offer enough of the Yamaha experience to satisfy many players at a fraction of the price.
