*Hint the ST-130 has a Humbucker in the bridge and looks good

Thanks alot
the ST-130 is made of american alder (or at least thats what it says) and at least we know that alder is a more balanced tone wood. u can still try the ST-30 and EG310 though. and if u like it then get it. but u cant go wrong with alder on most genres of music. just get the right amp when u have the money. like when u start working part time or something lol 
here's my suggestion, from the eg310, save up another $8. yes just $8. then get the ST-130. the ST-30 is made with ginko body. i've never heard of the material before. sounds like ginko nut to me though

If you really want to get from citymusic, I think you should get ST-130 as bf0502tr mentioned. American Alder is a plusplusplusplus point.
However, I don't have good impression of their guitar default factory setup though. I'm not sure if they will provide a free setup for you haha.
Since you just started, the 12th fret and above wouldnt matter right?
Once you become a more seasoned player, bring it for a setup.
, i personally have no qualms against it, just some people despise it.
Well... to be VERY VERY honest, budget guitars like Craftman guitar's... for myself lah, i wouldn't expect to much from it. I personally have not tried one and base whatever i say on peoples recommendation and price, cause its damn near impossible to get a real good starter pack with your budget but it IS achievable.
Anywho, like as mentioned, The wood difference, honestly i'd go for the ST-130, i dont know the price diff between the ST-30 and the ST-130 with the package, but looking at the individual price with the EG310 and the ST-130, i'd go for the ST-130.
And so true like above, all i knew about Ginko was that it's a nut hahahah
Again, whatever has been said here, take it with a pinch of salt. In my first post i said go check out LTD's, but the lower models are made with Agathis which is a love hate sorta thing lah
To sum it all up, whatever we say, it doesn't matter cause YOU are choosing the guitar and all, we can HELP and give our INPUT but ultimately, you have to be a man and make the decision hahahah.
So my ADVICE is, screw the ST-30, and go for the ST-130 cause if you were willing to spend 400 on the Guitar ALONE, i'm sure you can squeeze out EASILY an extra 100 to pay for the better set as to bu an amp and bag and strap and picks and all of that would DEFINATELY cost more than $100.
Dont compromise on quality if you top up a'lil more to get something much better
Aoi♥;1053776 said:Hmm, but what i wanna learn is the gazette's songs, and i saw a few covers and the guitars have 24 frets and they use mostly the last fret and the ST-130 has only 22, if i get the ST-130, can i still learn the songs?
Im really puzzled by this one.
unless theres a major bending session at the High E string, THAT would be dangerous cause for me, it always snaps when i try to bend it a full note
lol then get a random softee who's free on the day u wanna go down and test for u lor. then make friends with him/her. maybe can get free lessons along the way
anyway, when ppl play close to the 24th fret its cos they're solo-ing. as u are now, u prob only learn the rhythm section. but u can also do a full bend on the 22nd fret to hit the 24th fret note. or if u really want, use ur whammy bar and tap the high E just above the neck pickup. it's the 24th fret and it should ring if u put it there properly. but dont worry abt the 24th fret for now. get ur fingers shaped up for chords 1st.
LOVE'EM.... not the Floyd Rose kind, just the normal trems 
and i dun rmb ltd having starter packs...the 50series cost abt $3XX for the guitar alone
