aaaaaaaaahhhh the seastreak Ive still got mine some where and I use a supermag now but still seem to get birdies you can have the seastreak if you want to show him what we had when I was a lad
My first multiplier was an Abu 6500 CT C3 Elite, it was a great first multiplier. They can also be used in and around the tidal parts on the rivers where as you normally have a muddy bottom as well as the beaches etc what have already been mentioned. I personally think a 7000 would be to cumbersome for a young lad to try and get to grips with as a first multiplier. Which ever one you do decide to get I'd recommend that it has a level wind on.

I would advise a reel without a level wind! Best to get to learn to thumb the line onto the spool. It's not difficult for 12yr old.
A 6500 whilst being neat and small is very limiting. An all round reel is a much better choice. A slosh 20 with a red block and thick oil should be easily controllable and could be used everywhere, rocks, beach, pier, river, even on the boat.

I agree in part chukka, the slosh 20 is a cracking reel, I've got a pair of them.
Easily tamable with blocks and thicker oil, but I just want him to Enjoy the fishing in his early years without fighting with his gear like I had to. Having a level wind just means I don't have to watch him as much and can stay off his back a little
