it is getting close to Christmas, and all my son wants is a guitar (of course). he has been playing for only a couple months, but is improving daily.
currently he has a very cheap Fender guitar/amp/everything combo.

If you were 15 and just starting out on guitar, which one would you choose? I want to keep it close to $200. he likes to play rock (AC/DC, Ozzy, Metal).

my boy wants a Warlock ($149) 'cause it looks cool, but i have heard bad things about it.
