Who would be doing this online selection, her or a knowledgeable guitar person?


Eddie would be doing the selection.

Quote:
If her then why would she buy based on anything but "looks" (granted inside price and size range) even more so then at brick and mortar or local Craig's list?


I've already said it shouldn’t be her! Hehe. It should be Eddie. Screw Craig’s list, or brick and mortar … use ebay.

Quote:
if I was too vague it is expected that an experienced friend/relative aid her in picking and evaluating.


Eddie is her experienced friend! He asked for our recommendations in picking and evaluating. Buying a new guitar for a first time instrument is a bad idea in almost all cases. If you’re gonna spend $500.00 for a first instrument, … then buy used. That way, you get a 1,000.00 guitar for 500.00! It’s a no brainer.

We’ve given some recommendations. Eddie will do whatever he wishes after that.
