        DK2 - I got a new one one the bay for $285 + ship, but no case. I paid too much so you should do better.

        The carved top DKMG (I thinks) looks good too.

        A KE3 might be a good choice (best choice?) as well since he likes the explorer shape. I got a black one for $195 + s&h, but no case once again.

        Whatever you do, GET THE CASE! It's a pain in the ass getting a case later, and you have to pay $30 to ship the guitar, then another $30 to ship the case. You get f'd in shipping charges.

          i'd take the DK2 out of those mentioned. every non-strat shaped guitar i've had resulted in a very expensive case (£200 to house my WRMG) or no case at all. the most i'd spend on a decent case (new) is £50. gig bags are a false economy.

                  Check out an older DR3 Professional... made in Japan, VERY nice guitars for the price.

                      you'll be lucky to get a proper case for any warrior, import or otherwise unless you're extremely lucky on ebay. its exactly the same shape on either version of a warrior - wrmg/wrxt/js30wr/wr1 and there's only two cases that will fit a warrior properly. save yourself some serious agro and get a dk2. it's got a thinner neck profile, making it easier to play.
