In general, the Japanese made guitar products have better construction/parts than Korean or Chinese-made products. However, you could also speculate that the only reason products made in those regions are cheaper is because of cheaper wages. Ultimately, unless you can actually hear the difference, I wouldn't worry about it.

If you're getting a DS-1, they're only $35 and it should be modified by Keeley anyway so the origin of it's part are pretty inconsequential.
