The Most important thing you should do is let your son pick the guitar, within reason price wise.
I have owned many guitars and sold quite a few of them after figuring out that they didn't FEEL comfortable to play. The guitar has to feel right, like it is an extension of you. if you son is just learning he won't feel THAT strong a bond with the guitar, but it will be there.
i currently have a 92 Gibson Les Paul custom, Mid 70's Gibson Flying V, a mid 70's Ibanez (Artist) Ice Man and a Fender Acoustic. Each of these guitars have much different Characteristics. The Ibanez has a thinner neck compared to the Les Paul, The Flying V can't have the action as low as the Les Paul and I could keep going on and on about the differences but the most important thing to me is that they all feel right to me when I pick them up.
Wherever you decide to go to buy, spend the extra time having your son try as many different guitars as he can ...... in your price range.
