Some good advice already. Definitely take her to a good local store and have her try several out. Good store help should spend some time with her trying out different guitar necks until they find a fit. The more comfortable, the better chance she will play it more. I"ve been playing for years and sometimes when I"m off and get called to the stage for a few tunes, if the guitar (bass for me...) neck doesn"t feel right, it"s not much fun after a few songs.
A good friend who runs a local music store and has played for 40+ years offers some great advice to people that come in: Sit down with your daughter and have her listen to some of her favorite songs and maybe one or two random ones in a different style. Once finished listening, have her describe her favorite part in each song. Or have her hum that part. See what instrument she is humming - that will generally be the instrument for her. Of course, it never hurts to know how to play more than one instrument, but I"ve seen this method work for several kids now. Last, assuming she"s still going for the guitar and you have shopped for the right brand/feel, there are some great used deals out there (one of the bigger chain music stores has used gear on their website). Once she has the instrument and is learning it, don"t get too discouraged if she puts it down for a while. A lot of beginners will play for a few months, not play a few weeks go back to it, etc. It just takes time until the bug bites....

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
