I think that the FS3 sounds better. The heavier pickgard and saddle of the FS5 make it less vibrant, which is particulary true for the high frequencies, thus the FS3 sounds higher, but also much more responsive.

Both are awesome, slight edge to the 5 series, warmer, smoother richer tone, and the wood pick guard, higher quality nut and saddle standard, higher quality case, and japanese workmanship, are definitely worth the $400 extra it cost in my area, but I would also take the FG3 in a heartbeat, and upgrade those components down the line, if money is an issue. The Value you get with both of these is absolutely incredible, they are genuinely as good as many $2500 and up USA Big name guitars. So FG5 for me🎼🎶🎵🏆🥇🎻🎸🎧🧐🙂🙃🙂🧐😻

If you were use this for bar gigs go with the cheaper one.. and dont stress about a little scratch or someone wanting to play it.. or it getting stolen.. then take the rest of the cash you saved and get a great acoustic amp or acoustic multieffects..

The reality is that China's ability to mass produce premium guitars is second to none at this point. I still see a lot of reviewers belittle Chinese-made guitars (e.g., they'll go bonkers praising a Martin or Guild or whatever and when the Chinese/Asian premium guitar is reviewed they'll say wonderful, wonderful quality and sound but nothing to really distinguish itself, something like that). At this stage if I were buying a premium guitar the only reason I would get a Martin would be that it holds its value and that there is always a market in the US of people wanting to buy it used. If you buy an expensive Yamaha or Eastman, even if you save 20-40% upfront, it will be harder selling it down the road. If you are just looking for a great sounding instrument and plan to keep it forever, I really see no objective performance difference between a US icon like a Martin versus a top of the line Yamaha or Takamine regardless of where its made. You'll save 30-40% by going with the non-US brand but the resale value will be lower as well.

I think the initial set up bone nut saddle ebony pins and perhaps human touch testing and making sure nothing goes out the factory not perfect are the main difference. Having said that you may find more minute imperfections when it's all handmade. For me my setup was not the best . Tone was superb but there was fret noise and action too high and neck not set up correctly saddle needed to be trim. All compromised playability. A simple pro setup and I have nothing but compliments. I plan to upgrade the saddle and nut to bone or tide and bridge pond to ebony or bone. I may also add a brass bridge plate to protect the bridge as I will be keeping this a lifetime. I may also get a hard case. My next guitar will be a cutaway all solo spruce and rosewood.
