I grabbed this for $150 a couple months ago and absolutely love it. The amp is just meh, but I use headphones most of the time, anyway

Edit: add a cheap pedal or two if you don't mind the clutter, you'll be in good shape.

Edit: action is a bit high and the fret edges are kinda sharp, but I have no touble playing it decently (especially coming from acoustic…just added some heavier strings)

So glad I got that deal. Re-sold the guitar, and essentially got Fender Play for a year for $15.

Buy from a freaking music store where you can actually try out the equipment and get it set up. Stop pumping this company just because you get fat kick backs

Any suggestions on a decent headphone for this specific model?

Great deal, but have it set up before you give it to your kid. Nothing will kill a kid's desire to play an instrument like an instrument that is not fun or easy to play. Squiers are great, but they usually need to be properly set up by a professional. It's well worth the extra money.

This is an outstanding deal. Grab a sanding block, and sand the frets. Lots of YouTube videos. These guitars are just unpolished masterpieces that need a little TLC. Jimmie Hendrix started out on one of these. Awesome Christmas gift for just about anyone.

The tremolo makes this guitar a waste. I picked up this set during the last slickdeal. I wish I had gotten the hard tail instead. These low end models with tremolo, will not stay in tune no matter how hard you try. They won't even stay in tune, tuning from one string to the next.

I was skeptical, too, but this thing hasn't needed retuning in a couple weeks with daily play. I never screwed in the tremolo bar, I just left it in the bag. I could see that being a factor.

Just tighten up the springs till it's flush on the body, and forget about it.

Yes and no. I bought a Squire from GC, that was shipped, but ordered at the store. It arrived in entirely playable condition. I'm picky, and had them adjust the set-up, but it wasn't a deal breaker if I hadn't. I think your advice is decent, to plan to spend $50 on set-up. But, these are great guitars for the money, and likely won't need much attention.
