That Yamaha is a classical, nylon stringed thing. It's a very different style of playing - you fingerpick it. In my experience of teaching kids they're fickle little animals and if it doesn't look cool then generally they won't wanna play it.
Depends how much your lad wants to play, how musical he is and whether he's just in it for the sex and drugs. If Mrs S wants him to go down the classical / jazz route then a Yamaha like that will be perfect as a starter.
