How did you hear about this brand?
I was searching on google one day for a new guitar and a blessing in disguise; Zager guitars website popped up in the search. It immediately caught my eye because of the familiar/well respected name. Such a intresting selection of quality guitars on this site.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have a Crestwood Acoustic/Electric Cutaway which is no comparison to Zager guitars! Blows my old one out of the water and considering i've played some of the top of the line guitars in Guitar Center. Higher end Martins. The ZAD20E out performs the pricey ones I played and just so stylish.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The shiny sleek look and the sound so bright and clear. It just feels so great in your hand!
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1000-1600
How would you rate customer support?
A perfect 10 out of 10
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, and I have already spread the word! Regardless if you're a Beginner or Professional guitar player these guitars will be best in price and better in quality for your money.

Thank you Denny for your amazing guitars you build! Keep up the great work! ZAD80CE is next on my list ~God Bless

How did you hear about this brand?
Googling "how to buy the right guitar". Pretty soon I came upon people recommending Zager guitars.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I like my Yamaha FG-441S, but this is a completely superior product. As soon as I picked a few notes, the tone and sustain on this guitar was wonderful.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I think I'm in love. The action, machine head gear ratio, the finish, tone, sustain, all perfect.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I've never owned a "high end" guitar, so I can only say that this 80ce is far superior to any other guitar I've owned. I currently have 4 other guitars - Ovation Celebrity Deluxe, Godin LG electric, Godin Fretless Acoustic A5 Bass, and Yamaha FG-441S.
How would you rate customer support?
Prompt, helpful, generous, dedicated. (I am a computer technical support provider since 1988, so I know when I'm getting good support.)
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Definitely, because it sounds great and is obviously very high quality.
Additional comments:
Just think about this if you're thinking about buying a Zager: In the box is a whole bunch of stuff like a free lesson, several picks - not just one, an extra set of strings, and even a custom made card on the neck to warn about possible string buzz from shipping, and what to do about it. A digital humidity meter is in the case. I am truly blown away by the product. I love giving good support to my customers, and obviously, Dennis, Dennis II and Jill love doing what they do as well. I am motivated to write these words out of appreciation for the product, by the way. I have never talked to or met these folks before.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
The Zager blows my takamini away. It's easily comparable in looks, sound, and playability to a friends Martin, and another's J-45 Gibson. I love my ZAD20E.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The craftsmanship. Which makes the tone, sustain, playability, and looks so topnotch.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1500.
How would you rate customer support?
100% (The best I've ever seen anywhere in retail sales)
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Oh ya! I already have. Looks, playability, tone, customer service, price. I believe you actually get more than you bargained for.
Additional comments:
I can't say enough on how much I love this guitar. I spent over a year locking for a new accoustic. I tried many top line modles. Gibson, Martin to name a few. I said I would never buy a guitar without playing it first, but with Zagers guarantee, all money back, including shipping, how could I go wrong. I'm so thankful that I found Zager Guitars. I Wouldn't go as far to say that this is the last guitar I'll ever buy, I can say it would be the last one I would ever sell. Thanks again Denny.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This Zager is much easier to play and the sound is great.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The guitar is wonderful on its own, but the support and lessons are both satisfaction pluses.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I do not know.
How would you rate customer support?
I have had a rapid response to any questions I have submitted.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes. The ease of playing is a big plus with this guitar. But even more important is the teaching method that Denny employs and the rapid progress that comes from using his technique and practicing as he describes.
Additional comments:
I received this beautiful guitar in April and resisted the impulse to instantly produce a review. Now I have had sufficient time to learn, practice and play and I am joining the numbers of very satisfied customers who are proud to show and share their guitar whith friends.

How did you hear about this brand?
Saw some Martins etc on Ebay and wondered what this Zager EZ Play was all about.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My ZAD20 plays far better than my Yamaha F36S, Oscar Schmidt and, Blue Ridge and others I was test driving when I ordered a Zager.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I could say the tone, some brightness and some mellowness, a trait of Mahogany that I like, or the overall finish, or the quality of the fret work, or maybe the dimensions and fit of the neck. Then again, how easily it plays may be a favorite. It would be easier to identify what I don't like; I don't like that I waited until May 2012 to buy one. Imagine all the hours of painless playing enjoyment I have missed.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
This is an opinion thing of course. I would place the ZAD 20 easily in the $650 to $950 range.It is certainly superior to several guitars I played in that range and definitely equal to the best of them. Denny offers a quality guitar at a player's price.
How would you rate customer support?
Can't beat this. The warranty and guarantee is top notch. Add to that quick response from Dennis and staff, even accomodating my rambling retired lifestyle so the guitar arrived while I was home to receive it.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Sure I would recommend a Zager. The guitar will make a good player sound better but more importantly, a new player can concentrate on what he or she is learning rather than how much their fingers hurt or the dead or ringing strings. Their are two sources of problems with students; student problems and guitar problems. Denny has eliminated the guitar component. Addendum: Zager has my support also because of the school music program. Good!
Additional comments:
Good, a spot I can ramble in. I started playing at 11 years old; I am 64 now. I was playing in a group by 13. By 18, I was physically suffering from the stresses of performing and all it entails. I joined the military and quit playing for the next 40 plus years. 3 years ago I pulled out my old 12 string and played again. It was a good thing to do. Now one last comment on the ZAD20. Pulled it from the case and examined the guitar. Looked at the neck relief and string height. Hmmm, looks higher than I expected. but, Denny set it up so I will give it a go. Get This! No finger tension moving up the neck. Fingering was easy. Go figure that. On my Yamaha, that would have been painful. And the final stroke of wonderfulness, I played bar chords all the way to the 12th fret and not a single dead string or tinny ring. A perfect set up Denny! I don't know how it was done but I am truly impressed. The only reason I will ever part with this Zager guitar will be to buy another, guaranteed.

Quality is superior at even twice the price I paid
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It is well balanced, the tone is wonderful and it is easy to play, just like they advertise---- and looks like a million bucks!
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$2500-3000
How would you rate customer support?
Best there is, one on one and all emails answered right away.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
They exceeded my expectations in all areas that would make a consumer confident the item they purchased is a quality product. You can actually talk to someone, see the instrument and play it. If you don't like it, they will take it back...but seriously, if you sent it back it would be because you are tone deaf and partially blind.

How did you hear about this brand?
I came across the Zager website while searching for guitars.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I purchased the ZAD-15 in 2005. I found the sound to be as good if not better than my epiphone and gibson guitars. The quality of sound and easy playing neck is the best I have heard right out of the box without setting it up. No setup needed. Great action.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The E-Z play feature. It's true the easiness of playing this guitar is by far the best feature to me.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would pay at around $300-$400 for this instrument.
How would you rate customer support?
I have called to ask a couple questions about strings and I received an answer within hours. I am totally rating the customer support at 100%.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I have indeed recommeded this guitar and the website to fellow musicians and had them play this guitar and they were amazed by the full rich sound and the easiness of play.

I always recommend my Zager. I think name recognition is the biggest stumbling block to others when buying a guitar. Most people I talk to never heard of the Zager Guitar, and are to lazy to research and compare the Zager's quality control to that of a factory mass-produced product.
Additional comments:
My name is Jeff Gater and I purchased the ZAD80 CE Model guitar last year. I am very satisfied with the guitars playability. I am 52 years old and have not played the guitar seriously for 20 years. I believe the Zager guitar has made my entry back into playing guitar easier and very rewarding. I appreciate the workmanship of this fine instrument. Other guitar players who have tried my Zager are very impressed. Non-players always comment how beautiful the guitar is. Most Sundays I am in our church praise band backing-up the lead guiyar player. The on-board tuner and playabilility of the Zager, along with the resonating lows help me apreciate the music I am producing and play with confidence.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This guitar is easier to play and sustains perfect pitch longer than the guitars I am used too.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The neck. It is very easy to wrap my hand around, yet the finger board has plenty of space to finger chords accurately.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1500-$2000

How did you hear about this brand?
I had recently had several guitars stolen, including a nice old Guild D-15; when I started looking for a replacement, I decided to buy a hand-made guitar; I was looking at Larrivees, when I say one that said it had been modified with a Zager EZ play system. I checked out the website, shot a few messages back and forth, and after watching a number of videos, decided to buy one.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I've played a lot of guitars... been singing and writing for over 40 years. I've owned Matrins, Guilds, and Ovations, and played a few of the high-dollar Larrivees... the Zager 20ce sounds every bit as good, and played much better than any of them. The only guitar that even comes close is a friends $4000 Martin; close, but not cigar.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Picking a favorite is hard; I've always been about tone, and the tone is superior, with a huge dynamic range from finger-picking to full on, booming strums; even chords that are strummed forcefully are clear as a bell and ring like a grand piano. It's amazing to me, that a guitar that plays so easily could be as loud and dynamic;
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I'd estimate it at $1500 - $2000, and that's conservative; I've put it head to head with some guitars in that range, and the Zager was the clear winner.
How would you rate customer support?
In my day job, I work in a call center; we're the only telecom company to have won the JD Power award 4 years in a row; I know and expect customer service, and Zager never disappoints; they have, hands down, the best customer service I've ever seen.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would definitely recommend this guitar, and frankly, any guitar Zager makes. I've had the guitar for less than a week, and I think I've already sold two more to a couple of friends.
Additional comments:
I have to truly believe that anyone who has the funds to buy a Zager, and buys something else should have their heads examined!

Amazing. Right out of the box my new Zad 20e sounded as seasoned as my thirty year old Blue Ridge and real close to my '61 Martin0018.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Immediate playability. Make that easy playability. Have to remind myself it's not necessary to fret so hard.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Somewhere in the 7-8 hundred dollar range.

Great. I had questions before making my purchase and, like every other question since, it was answered in depth by Dennis.

Absolutely. The sound, playability, looks. And if you still don't like it, send it back as the have a generous guarantee policy
Additional comments:
Can't wait to spring the "Black Beauty" on my mates, next jam session. I had been laid up for weeks and so had ample opportunity to research my next guitar. I was going to buy an acoustic electric. There are thousands out there. But I only found one place, Zager, that would guarantee my satisfaction. This is the only outfit on line that I would trust when making a sight unseen guitar purchase. It arrived earlier than promised, there were no unpleasant surprises only unexpected good ones. They make you feel like their only customer. They remind me of days long gone when a small outfit took pride in their work, put their name on their work and stood by it. My only problem is how to stave off the urge to buy the Zad 20ce.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
There is no comparison between this guitar and other guitars that I've owned or played in stores. The quality of instrument for the price is unbelievable!The more I play it the more I want to play it.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The playability of the guitar is the first thing that stands out. You can play notes with ease that previously would have been challenging. It makes you want to practice ! Also, the sustain of the notes and chords have to heard to be believed!This is quite simply a beautiful guitar.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
1500 - 2000 dollars

My old guitar is nice but compared to the ZAD80CE there is no comparison. The Zager is beautiful. My old guitar was no nearly as easy to play as the Zager. I don't have to press down, like a vise, on the frets to get a beautiful sound. Speaking of sound the Zager is much better. There is something about the neck; it seems thinner so I can get my hand around it easier.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The ease of play and the sound, not to mention it is a beautiful.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would estimate this guitar to be in the $2500 range.

In every instance my questions were answered promptly. The Zagers are top notch in this area.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
At or near the top. Very much a novice guitar player so not a great authority on the subject but plays and sounds as good as or better than anything else I have ever tried, and I have picked up a few higher end Martins before that I was quite impressed with. In my opinion Zagar guitars can absolutely compete with those for way less money.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Tough question...so many fantastic qualities...I guess it would have to be the fact that they play so nice.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Probably about a grand.
How would you rate customer support?
So far absolutely fantastic!!!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely...probably THE best guitar buy out there.
Additional comments:
I could only afford to buy one of the "slighty damaged" discount guitars that Dennis sells, but after I recieved it I e-mailed Dennis Jr. and told him that it was obvious that Zagar Guitar Co. takes great pride in their workmanship, and me being in the machine shop business for almost 40 years that was something that was drilled into my head at the early stages of my career that can only lead to success, so I lived by that fact ever since, and the fact that Zagar Guitar Co. has that attitude , along with their almost unheard of fantastic customer support can only mean a top rated business.

I have already recommended it to my friends at record heaven, the Luthier who did work on my old Martin D35, and several of my friends.I would rscommend these guitars to anyone that loves playing a fine guitar and those just starting out on the guitar.

I told all my friends dont waste your money on another guitar, come to my house and you can play my Zagers, then make up your mind.

How did you hear about this brand?
I heard about this brand from looking at other guitars on Ebay. I had already purchased a new Guild GAD 20 (natural) with case on Ebay but kept searching to see what else was out there and that's when I discovered the Zager Guitar.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I haven't had time to try my Guild guitar yet and I just received the ZAD20 yesterday
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I love everything about this guitar as it is a beauty and knowing that it will be easier to play without getting sore fingers is a plus as I type at work and I can't afford to have sore fingers. I really can't believe you can get a good quality guitar for the price that they're asking. Unbelievable.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Just from looking and comparing guitars on Ebay and other guitar websites, I would say around $1200-$1500.
How would you rate customer support?
Zager's customer service is outstanding. I have never dealt with any customer service as good as theirs. They are so friendly, very helpful and get back to you right away.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would definitely recommend the Zager guitar to anyone because of the great price for a quality guitar and because it is a EZ play guitar.
Additional comments:
I can't believe what a wonderful experience it was to purchase my guitar and case from Zager Guitars. I wish I would have found them sooner.

How did you hear about this brand?
I heard about Zager guitars on a blog, which stated that they are great for people who have "fat fingers" like me.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My Zager allows me to play clear chords. It was virtually impossible to play clear chords with my original guitar. In addition, my Zager guitar is definitely richer looking and sounds better.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Although this guitar looks and sounds fantastic, my favorite part is that I can now play clear chords relatively easily.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I really can't say because I didn't shop other brands; however, numerous reviewers say Zager guitars compare to those costing several times more.
How would you rate customer support?
Customer support is fantastic! Dennis responded very fast to my emails and Denny's Help Videos are very informative. I've learned a lot already.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, I will definitely recommend Zager guitars to others because they are easy to play and look and sound fantastic.

Internet reviews and Ebay.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Very favorably. It sounds better than any other guitar I have owned that cost less than $1,000. I was particularly impressed with the level of fit and finish for a sub $200 guitar. It looks as good as anything I have seen, played, or handled by ANY manufacturer costing less than $1,000.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Without a doubt the tonal quality of the instrument. It gives off a crisp clean tone with well rounded range. It is also the easiest guitar I have played in a long time. The action is fantastic and I find that I can play it longer and faster than my other guitars.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$900.00 or more.
How would you rate customer support?
Very good. Dennis Jr. was very responsive to e-mails and questions. I usually got a reply within an hour or two. He was also helpful in answering questions about the set up of the instrument and accessories available with the guitar.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. I bought this guitar based on the many favorable reviews I read on the internet, hoping that if it were 75% of what people were stating, it would be a bargain. I am happy to say that it has been everything I had expected and have yet to find a real gripe with this guitar. My only criticism, as small as it may be, is that the hygrometer (that comes included with the purchase of the Zager hard case)is not permanatly mounted in the case. It arrived laying loose in the accessory compartment of the case. I would have liked to have seen it embedded into the lining of the case.
Additional comments:
My 12 year old son loves playing this guitar so much that I may actually have to consider buying another one and giving him this one. Perhaps a ZAD 20 or ZAD 80 is in the future.

Found Zager guitars through their web site after doing some research to find all guitar makers A-Z. Found the web site interesting as I'm old enough to remember Zager&Evans record 'in the year 2525'. Curiosity got the better of me and on going thru the web site I was really impressed by the range of guitars from Denny Zagers' company. Spent some time looking at reviews, videos and previous customer comments. The comprehensive range of guitars and services off the back of the web site really did impress so I got tempted and after some emails back and forth, I was convinced that I'd like to try one of the guitars.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have many guitars including 5 acoustics. My favourite two are Gibson J160e for general acoustic flatpicking and an Ayers AS for sweeter fingerpicking style. Both these are great guitars for what they do but I just got tempted for something new. Since getting the Zager I must say that the action on the Zager is lower and much easier on the hand than the J160e all the way up the neck and much zingier than the Gibson. The Zager on fingericking is also good way up to the 12th fret still keeping a decent volume. It's a different type of guitar to the Ayers AS which has a much wider neck than a normal acoustic so the sounds are quite different, the Zager being powerful and projecting with a pick, whereas the Ayers is more for sweet finger style. The Zager is still however for the price is well up there in construction, looks and sound for the money. I really cannot believe the low smooth action all the way up the neck. I have tried some really big name acoustics in local shops and I could not justify paying £1200 plus to own a M****n or a G***d when they are not as comforable to play, nor are the sounds significantly better. ( overall sound being subjective and personal anyway ) Zager is as good as anything I've tried whether acoustically or amp'd up thru the pickup.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Apart from the looks and the excellent sound that comes out this thing, I am really pleased aboout the action and how easy it plays. Maybe it in my head but I do feel my chord changes have become cleaner and I've checked all my other dreads and I'm sure there is a slightly wider string spacing on the Zager at the nut,??. I;m convinced this does help with achieving cleaner notes.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
If this guitar were hanging on a wall in a guitar shop I'm convinced it would be in the high end section beside the big names not in the mid price section where the price point actually is. Buying direct obviously avoids a retailers additional profit and taxes so considering this I really have got a high end guitar for a bargain price.
How would you rate customer support?
Emails back and forth between myself and Dennis Jr before I made the decision to buy were real friendly, and gave me confidence that I was a one to one customer. Questions were answered, special shipping was costed back to UK and I was invoiced personally to arrange. Quick and simple but with a personal touch gave me the confidence to buy from USA to UK.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Its a great looking, great sounding and very, very easy guitar to play. The neck has obviously been well designed, well set up and made very playable. The whole sale process had that bit of TLC from people that are in the business of selling you their product , their name and their reputation. All too rare nowadays.

I heard about Zager guitars from a colleague who had recently purchased a ZAD20E, was using it as his screen saver image, and was extremely satisfied with his new sunburst model.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My new Zager ZAD20E Sunburst guitar is noticeably more playable than my vintage Washburn given its amazing action and relatively narrow neck. The tone easily rivals my vintage Gibson.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
My favorite part is the neck.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would estimate the price to be in the $1200.00 to $1800.00 price range.
How would you rate customer support?
I would rate the customer support a 10 out of 10, especially since I mistakenly ordered the wrong model initially, but the Zager guitar company paid for my return shipment cost of the first guitar even though the mistake was mine, not Zager's.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes. It's a screamin good deal.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
No comparison. It's setup just the way I would have done it had I the skills and know how. And the sound is incredible. Bright and full - abundant musicality. I've owned Gibsons and Martins before and nothing outshines this.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Well, it arrived a day before DJ said it would which was a great surprise. And then it just smells great coming out of the case. It gleams. It's just so cool to have the built in tuner and then it's ready to go as if I has been breaking it in for years.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Donno how to guess this one. But at least three times what I paid, if not much more. Really, this is not BS. It's a great feeling axe that looks and sounds perfect. Just wish I were a better player - but now I have even more reason to get back to playing.

Haven't needed it. But Jr has been right there with every question. I haven't had to wait long for an email answer.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. No hype or BS about it. Just a fantastically player friendly instrument that looks and sounds wonderful.

Found it on eBay; went to the website for more info, and bought from Zager direct.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My new ZAD80CE is the best playing guitar I've ever touched in my 45+ years of playing. The fit and finish are outstanding - second to none.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It is truly the easiest guitar to play that I've had in my hands. My fingers were hurting at first because I was using the same pressure that I've used on my other guitars. You have to relax and accept the fact that it is not going to be difficult to depress the strings. What a great feeling! Then you see what a guitar is supposed to feel like.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$3,000+
How would you rate customer support?
These folks appear to redefine "customer support," two words that usually make me cringe. I have been treated like family, even though I have made a pest of myself.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
YES. I was a Yairi disciple. My favorite '82 Yairi (bouht new) was stolen, and I stumbled onto this site when looking for a similar, vintage replacement Yairi. I saw the sample video lessons and knew that I may well have found the "true path" to my musical growth. I now have the guitar in my hands, and I can tell you that Zager is the real thing, guitars and system. I will soon get another Zager as a back-up. Who knows? Somebody may steal my favorite guitar.
Additional comments:
If I had had this guitar when I was 12 years old instead of that old Kay arch-top, I know that I would be a much better player today than I am. If I had had the system, too, I would already be the player that I want to be. Thank you, Denny and Dennis!

How did you hear about this brand?
Nostalgia! I googled Zager & Evans hoping to locate their 60s single "In the Year 2525," and stumbled on Denny's website - I Also located "In the Year 2525"...double bliss!!
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have 1991 Ovation and a 2003 Takamine, both electro-acoustic. Both are good guitars and I will still love playing them, but it is the sound quality and volume of the sound that makes the ZAD900ce stand out.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Early days and still finding out, but so far the ease of playing, and low string action. The acoustic sound is exceptional.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
£1200 ($1900)
How would you rate customer support?
This is where this company stands out. I live in Scotland, and although I liked the guitars I saw on the website, I was wary of shipping all the way from the USA. I needn't have been. I made an initial e-mail enquiry and got an immediate reply form Dennis Zager Jnr. He reassured me about shipping abroad and walked me through my purchase. The whole experience was quick, efficient and painless, and the added reassurance of a lifetime guarantee is exceptional.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes. The whole package is exceptional. The ZAD900ce is a quality guitar at a very reasonable price. If you are looking for a guitar I would certainly recommend the Zager brand. Go on give it a go, you won't be sorry...I'm not.
Additional comments:
I've been playing guitar now for about 40 years and have played several models, favouring my Ovation above all so far for its low action, narrow fretboard and ease of playing. The Ovation will always have a place in my heart, but I'm enjoying my ZAD900ce and I'm sure it will mature into a wonderful playing instrument.

This guitar is great. It is easy to play. Looks stunning. Sounds great!

I don't see how you could get the quality and sound for under $900.
How would you rate customer support?
Customer support is amazing! That is definitely a highlight of this company. They definitely back up what they say! I had an issue with the first guitar I purchased. They told me how to fix it myself and also pointed me to videos to help as well. When that didn't work, they ask me if i would be willing to have them replace that guitar with another one in the same model. They go out of their way to have satisfied customers! Amazing!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
In a heart beat! You get a great guitar and outstanding customer service! It's a win-win!

A fellow Musician had a ZAD80CE
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have a Martin D-41, made in 1973. It has been my instrument of choice for all these yearas. The Zager ZAD80 is a close resemblence to the Martin D-35 in style, tone and playability. I also have a NMI 1976 vintage, however, there is not comparison between this guitar and the Zager.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I must say, ease of playing. When I recieved this guitar, I opened it, tuned the b string and played it for 2 hours sraight. Absolutely, playability is my favorite part however there are many other great things about this instrument.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would place the price of this instrument in $2500-$3000 range
How would you rate customer support?
I have worked on the phone and via email with Zager Guitars and I must say I was always assured that the most important thing to Zager was that I had the right guitar and that I was completely satisfied with their products. I am.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would definetly recommend Zager to others--if for no other reason, my personal experiences with the instrument and the people at Zager

I have purchased a Zager guitar before. I heard about Zager on the internet just by luck.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
The Zager plays much easier than my Martin and sounds as good (just different) at half the price!
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The best part about both Zager guitars I own is the ease of play. It's so much easier to form chords without having a fret buzz.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would have guessed this guitar to sell for $800.
How would you rate customer support?
I haven't needed customer support this time. When I bought my ZAD 20 OM I had a question and Dennis responded within 5 minutes. Zager support is first class.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I'm telling everyone what a great value Zager guitars are. Talk about bang for your buck!
Additional comments:
You could spend twice as much for a similar guitar and won't have a guitar that plays so easy.

After a lot of research online googling and with YouTube, your name came coming up as a fine guitars.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I had a 2,000.00 guild about 30 years ago so really no comparison except this one sounds and actually looks better given the price I payed. Easier to play just like the adds say.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Ease of play along with a great looking guitar. I do like the grover tuners that you normally get with the finer guitar.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
750.00
How would you rate customer support?
Fantastic. When I purchased the guitar through ebay, I asked about the soft case that came with the guitar and Dennis e-mailed me the information. He also substituted the soft case for a hard case which was way above and beyond what a person would expect.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
By all means. The guitar is way better than what's on the market for that price. I priced and compared all the top name guitars and low end guitar and this guitar is a great value for what you get. Don't drag your feet like I did. It really plays easy and a stunning looker.
Additional comments:
Thanks again to Dennis for answering all my e-mails. Not only did he answer them, they were answered within 4 hours or less. I can tell that this company cares about there customers and I will always be a loyal customer. What guitar on the market offers a life time warranty (that says it all).

These guys are a textbook example of how to run a web business. The site has tons of info, the many reviews inspire confidence in the product, their guarantees relieve any potential buyer's remorse, the guitar itself is without flaw, and the various goodies they send with it make you feel loved.

I'd send anyone needing an acoustic guitar to Zager in a heartbeat.
Additional comments:
I've been playing for 45 years, have a home studio, and went with the "Zager Parlor" simply to use as a "knockabout". The quality, finish, workmanship and gestalt of this guitar is far more than I expected, and my expectations were high, given previous reviews.

On the web. I run a small business called www.guitarcollector.com.au in Australia - trading in top end guitars mostly. I had seen the Zager come up a few times in my searches, so I was interested to give one a try.
How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have numerous guitars - including Martins. The Zager sounds as good as any of these guitars. It has a neck shape like a Martin, and so is very easy to play.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I don't know... It looks great, sounds great, and is easy to play. Just the right size for me to handle (not too big).
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
It could easily be double the price.
How would you rate customer support?
Very good. Friendly and personal.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
It is simply a very good guitar to play and look at, at a very sensible price.

For the last 12 years I have played a Gibson I had it set up so the action was really low. This guitar is ready to play when u get it. No adjustment needed. The sound is great so is the action.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I like the string spacing for fingerpicking The even,rich,tones. And it really does play easier on your fingers.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would say over 1500 based on finish quality and sound.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I like the string spacing for fingerpicking The even,rich,tones. And it really does play easier on your fingers.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would say over 1500 based on finish quality and sound.

This is by far the best guitar I've ever had my hands on. My first was 20 dollar Japanese box I got when I was in the navy in 1969. Nylon strings, bent neck.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Easy to play, great sound.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I really have no idea. The best guitar I ever owned was a low end Fender so I have nothing to compare this to.

Keep it up. This guitar helps restore my faith in humanity. I don't want to get all "political" here, but the USA and the world has taken an ugly turn the past decade. High quality products like Zager makes, can only help us.

A friend told me about it....another friend took our mutual friend's comments and bought one.... I've seen and played his.

This guitar is awesome. It plays very easy. Sounds amazing. It is gorgeous and would surpass any guitar i've owned. I haven't owned any crazy high dollar guitars...but why when you can play what i've got .....and it wasn't all that much!
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
honestly, i took advantage of the "bstock" model they had for about $20 off the normal price. They had stickers to show the "flaws." I couldn't see anything on this particular guitar in the pictures. I emailed Dennis about this guitar and he said that his dad is very picky and if he finds even a minor flaw, he will mark it down. Long story short, i got this guitar today and even with the sticker pointing to it, I can't find the issue its pointing to. I've seen guitars in stores with dings, scratches, etc. on them and still being sold for full price. This company is honest and awesome!
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Well the guitar is beautiful and sounds amazing. I was trying to compare with other brands of guitars and was easily in the mid $900's before getting to apples to apples product. But it would be hard to put the price on the customer service and extra care you receive. It's almost unbelievable but hasn't failed at all yet. THis is a no-brainer purchase. why buy elsewhere?
