ST-62CC RW Lake Placid Blue : The best budget guitar

So,this is my first guitar and I`ve never played guitar before. I really like this strat and I treat it like a real person and I miss it if I don`t play on it for 1 day. It sounds REALLY amazing. If you compare it to Fender, Fender sounds more clean and expensive, BUT! But Harley Benton in my opinion sounds more like retro guitar and I like It`s vibe more than Fender, cuz I like retro music. This guitar sounds like real punk guitar and I didn`t regret of buying it. Harley Benton make guitars with hearts, that`s all. What I don't like is the slight carelessness of the assembly. Not critical minor flaws are frustrating, I would like to pay an extra 50-100 euros and get the same thing, but fully tested and of the highest quality. Otherwise I'm happy and I don't want to change this guitar to a fender because it's unique.
