For younger students, scale length, weight, action, and a manageable practice-volume setup usually matter more than a flashy finish. When families include Central Virginia Guitars Amps and More and Flippin' Guitars in the search, compare scale length, action, weight, tuning stability, cable and amp needs, and return options.
