Harry,

I suggest the Craigslist / Garage sale special. Example, I bought a generic electric (that actually stays in tune) for 5 or 10 bucks a year or so ago. I bought an acoustic on CL for 40 that was pretty sharp. I would suggest having a friend that knows something about guitars to buy one for you. There is a bottom to the quality. When they don't stay in tune or the distance from the string to the neck is too big (high action it is called) the guitar will suck.

Have fun. If your boy likes it, it will be the first of DOZENS of guitars. Don't sweat it.
