Alvarez, Takamime, and maybe Epiphone on a lower end!. The Martins, Gibsons, Taylors and Guilds are high end and cost more than I would spend on a 12 year old!.

also consider a nylon string guitar with a thin neck if you can find one with a thinner neck!. The fingering is easier than bronze or steel strings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I started playing on a Takamine acoustic which sounds great for its price, but I actually wouldn't recommend it!.

Because acoustic strings are thicker and the frets wider, it was much more difficult for me to learn to play things!. also, much of what i wanted to play required use of the higher frets, which the large body of my acoustic guitar prevented!.

Now I play both, so it doesn't matter, but I am certain that I would have learned quicker on an electric!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For a beginner consider the following brands:
Alvarez
Ibanez
Takemine
Yamaha
Fender
Ephiphone
Washburn

Martins, Gibsons, and Taylors are high-end acoustics and too expensive for your 12-year old!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Taylor
Martin
Gibson
Alverez
Takamine
Ovation
