Spend more on the guitar over the amp

Take my opinion as a bass player turned classical guitarist...and perhaps disregard it here ;-)
Seriously though, having a nice playable instrument with a modest amp is more important than a so-so instrument with a bigger amp. The guitar, after all, is what she physically plays. I'd suggest Peavey and Crate as brands to check out, if memory serves.
I'd also very highly recommend the used market, as she is likely to get a better instrument for the same price as new. She may also do better with guitars with a shorter scale length (ex. Les Paul) vs. a longer one (ex. Stratocaster), due to her physical size (I'm assuming she's a typical 12 year girl here).
Finally, I'd find an electric guitar playing friend to bring along to sample instruments, since someone with a bunch of experience will be better at separating the goats from the sheep, so to speak.
