      It looks like slim pickings on Montreal Kijiji at that price range.

      This looked decent. With some hum-cancelling pickups, it could be a nice (hopefully) lightweight, versatile guitar.


      +1 on a used Godin LG. Also an older PRS SE.

      New, maybe a Schecter C6, since she's into metal. 24 frets for the shredz.

      If you're willing to take a chance on Eart, they sell on Amazon. I bought their headless for less than $400 and the build quality is really good.

      I'll second the Eart, but there is a bit of a learning curve with the bridge/tuning. Make sure she's OK with that before buying.

      Yeah, EART is probably your best bet at that price. Not too many guitars have stainless steel frets with rolled edges at that price.

      The tele style seems to be in stock. At least with Amazon, you can return it if there's an issue. (It's still a PITA, though.)

      There's also the Ibanez AZ ES series which is entry-level, but well-regarded. (It's 25" scale-length vs 25.5" on most strat-style guitars.)

      Sterling by EBMM might have something for you. There's an Axis and Cutlass model around that price. If your closest L&M has one in stock, it might be worth checking out.

      Used Godins are worth looking for on Kijiji or the used section of an L&M.

      You can also find Schecter, Ibanez GIO and Yamaha Pacificas all day long, but they wouldn't be my first recommendation.
