Apologies for the late reply on this one.
It is not that easy to tell the date with later serial numbers because as you mentioned, these guitars are made in China and the serial number charts were last updated way before production moved there.
Having said that I do believe your guitar is probably a 2021 model. That is based on the first letter "H" which denotes the year and this repeats every 10 years. H = 1961, 1971, 1981, 1991, 2001, 2011, 2021.
It would have needed to start with M, N or O in order to be pre 2018.
The FS800 is a really good guitar though. So if the price is right it would still be a good buy![👍]()
