it`s still a trickstar .
jap ones are supposed to be spot on but don`t have one of those to check

The Jap one is the best made - both US ones had little 'faults' (tubes not lining up, etc)...but for some reason the US ones fetch more money, however I would say that is changing now in the UK with Jap/Tai catching up as people realise that it's only the American's who give a shite where it was made.
