If the kid's into Hendrix, I would echo this recommendation for the
Mexicasters. I've got a mid-90s Stratocaster I got new, no case. Used,
something similar could still be had in the same range, and with a $80
case, you've got a rig that he wouldn't have to trade up for. I'd
recommend a strat anyways for a beginner, since it's got a wide range of
tone, and won't lock him into purely crunchy sounds (like the humbucker
guitars I started on...) or twangy (like the incredibly priced
Danelectros...)
