This. The crap amp that comes with it (in kit) isn't much, but it'll get you started.
Or... and I know this will get teh h8, but I ordered a Yamaha acoustic online. Think it was about 120, but my god it sounded nice. Even my cousin agreed, compared to his old Sunburst.

Pretty sure it's this one. Way underrated, and it is mass-produced, but god it sounds and plays amazing, great tone.
Does he want an acoustic or electric? If so, what's your budget? My son started when he was 11 on a full size, so a 3/4th size guitar may do the trick.
For electric, the Mini strats do the trick.
For Acoustic, I like the Yamaha JR1
My very first guitar was this 3/4 size Yamaha acoustic. It wasn't bad, especially since I was a beginner and I was young at the time too. It really strengthened my fingers as well since it was an acoustic.
I feel like my first electric should be on here too, because it was just bad. It was this shitty Silvertone starter package. Everything in there was just bad, from the guitar that just hurt to play and the shitty pickups and action to the extremely trebly solid-state amp to the shitty tutorials. It was enough for me as a beginner, but after 6 years playing with it, I really needed a replacement.
I've been looking into getting one of these http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-JR1-Size-Acoustic-Guitar/dp/B00009J580
