If he's new to guitar and into rock, punk, classic rock, hard rock etc maybe just pick up an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. If he's been playing for a while grab a Gibson Les Paul Standard. He'll love it. If he's a metal kind of guy maybe look into an Ibanez 7 string. Metal kids love them but usually sell them after a couple years for something with more growl like a Les Paul once their musical tastes mature.

The construction of the Epihpne is almost identicle to a it's Gibson counterpart. Just uses lower quality tuners, pickups and bridge pieces is all.

I own one and am VERY happy with it. Once I upgrade the pickups to real Gibson pickups you wouldn't know the differece sound wise.

Does he have a good amp? Cause in all honnesty if he just hasa solid state peavy, Crate or Randal etc etc it won;t matter what he's playing. they'll all relatively sound the same. Get him a good little all tube combo with 2 12 inch speakers in it. I recomend Marshall or even Mesa Boogie if he's into metal. Nothing sings and growls quite like a Les Paul or a Gretsh going through an all tube amp.
