If you and your daughter choose a guitar, let her test some instruments, with the guide of a veteran sales person, in order to find one that is soft enough for her fingers, at this age. I remember how hard it was for me at age 12 to study in a guitar that was too hard, until I found one more appropiate. Later on, her fingers will grow stronger and she will be able to play any guitar. I think the violin is similar in this respect.
