SC-Junior Black : How is this guitar possible?

Looking at this guitar objectively without even considering the price, it is one of the most playable, inspiring guitars I've ever picked up, which after owning several guitars priced more than 5 times the amount I paid for this one, is mind blowing.

Set up is perfectly playable and well intonated out of the box, to me the pickup is voiced great, pots are noise-free and overall feel of the components is good. Only honest detractor is some ping on a couple of the tuners when turning, and a bit of tuning instability, as well as palm mutes being a bit uncomfortable on the wrap around bridge pieces where the corner of the low string saddle digs into my palm somewhat. These are probably just things that would suit a different playing style better than my own, rather than faults as such.

I fully love this guitar and can't stop playing it.
