When I was 10, I was given a 3-nylon/3-steel string full body acoustic. It was crappy, but it was also cheap...from there moved to a cheap electric, and then a more expensive electric and acoustic.
If the kid is truly interested, he should learn on a cheap acoustic, but make it full-size. If you start off on a cheaper instrument, you know and appreciate what the more expensive ones have to offer. The nylon/steel string combo might not be necessary, since your nephew clearly wants to play rock music, so go with steel.
Your fingers are also more conditioned. It's tougher to play, so you'll be faster and able to stretch your fingers more when actually playing an electric or better acoustic.
