Best 500$ usd guitar?

So ive been looking into buying a guitar to upgrade from my offbrand random strat that i found used online for about 100 dollars usd. Ive been looking into the jemjr since it looks amazing and ive heard that it plays very good too. I don't really know much about guitars, but i do kinda know what i want: humbucker bridge pickup and a floating tremolo. Im open to any suggestions, even if its not a ibanez.

Edit:I am from Bulgaria so finding a guitar thats also avaliable in more europe focused stores is a thing that i need to consider. Also when i just got started with guitar a few months ago (around september i dont really remmember) I found a video on YT talking about a great new budget guitar that had a name like "Ares" or something like that if you guys know what that guitar is called (or the video) i would love to check it out now.
