My first was a Epiphone '56 Goldtop reissue (or whatever they were called). I liked it a lot, but it weighed a ton. Keep an eye on weight - I've always prioritised lightness in guitars since (one day, Parker Fly...).
Also, that Jazzmaster TS linked is a good shout - I'd go for that in preference to most of the other black strats that abound for kids.
This is probably not an appropriate first guitar (and not all that light...), but since we're ebay trawling, this seems like a decent amount of guitar for the money:
I can't quite remember the story, but didn't some of the early ones of those have genuinely expensive quilted tops that they shouldn't have?

Hello guitar people, my elder child person (14.75 years old) wants an electric guitar for Christmas.
She is already reasonably proficient on acoustic guitar and ukelele. Any recommendations? Budget around £200.
Thanks
Edit: amp suggestions also welcome.
