IMO, as long as the OP buys a REAL entry level guitar (not a toy like you'd get at futureshop) then he'll be fine.

If she starts to take it seriously then they can worry about technicalities, feel and sound when they upgrade to an intermediate level guitar.

If she loses intrest, then a REAL entry level guitar will still hold most of its value and you could sell it on Kijiji
I'd buy one step up on a Fender Squire strat type though. The poor action on these low level guitars can really be a discouragement to play.

As you've stated most quality guitars will retain much of their value, so it's not totally throwing money away.
