You can't tell by looking, you have to play it. I went picking out acoustical guitars for my niece and had to wade through quite a few. For example Fender had several in her price range, but only 2 had the sound and playability that made it worth the cost.

If it has good action and tone quality--there you go.

Dean makes good guitars. That one should be good. Why not a full size guitar?

Try taking your brother to the music store let him play all the guitars that are in the price range you wish to spend. That way you can be sure he gets one that he likes and that he thinks sounds good.
