I agree with what Michael Paz said. Also, there may be some differences in the pickups between the various countries. I like Japanese lutherie but I'm not sure they're still being made. At the end of the day, the origin doesn't matter as much as the "magic" which sometimes comes in assembling pieces of wood. In other words, just try out the instrument "blinfolded" and listen to the sound and the acoustic resonance (even in solid body instruments) and look for that one in a hundred that is truly magical.
