Zager GuitarsReviews 804

This is the finest guitar I've ever owned. It is a work of art and the sound is superb, all at a reasonable price. I couldn't be happier.

I acquired a 2004 Yager ZAD-80. This guitar is amazing! I'm just a novice guitar player but this guitar is so easy to play that I can play for hours. Also, it sounds so good. I play with a couple other people who have very expensive guitars, a Gibson J200 and a Taylor 810. They both insist that my guitar sounds as good or better!

I can only imagine folks will be playing Zager Guitars well into the year 2525!

ZAGERGUITAR.COM was very user friendly. Product information listing and pictorials were very instrumental in shopping and decision making. Their videos were tremendous in seeing product performance and quality. I was able to make a decision to place an order because the videos were revealing enough to convince me of their quality and sound. Payment was simple enough and the offer of financing was great. I successfully was able to finance the cost. That was a Great offer availability. Furthermore, being left-handed and finding out that they have available their 900 series for immediate delivery pleased me to no end... finally, I can get a top end guitar without waiting months or settling for a lower model or not get one at all because that guitar company doesn't make them for leftys---this happened twice to me. So, thank you ZAGERGUITAR for your consideration for leftys. When it got my ZAGERGUITAR it was packaged nicely and the hard shell it came in was protective and had a digital humidity measurement that was part of the case. I recommend to add to your order a dehumidifier for the guitar before it's delivered. The delivery was in two or three days, I was in disbelief. I waited 24hrs before I opened the case to allow the guitar to acclimate to my climate here in Cali. (HIGHLY RECOMMEND no matter where it's going). I've been practicing with it now for only a few days and still have other things to do with it before I can do a product review. It's a wonderful sounding guitar.

I received my new Zager Travel guitar today and I am overwhelmed with the quality of workmanship and the tone of this guitar. It is absolutely magnificent... a pleasure to hold, and a pleasure to play. The tone is rich and full and quite frankly, I am astonished at the resonance of this 3/4 size small box guitar. This guitar will not disappoint you in any way!
I want to thank Denny Jr. For his patience in helping me select the right guitar for my needs and guiding me through the painless process... and for his follow up after the sale.

FIRST CLASS comes to mind FIRST! Wonderful instrument, my new ZAD 50 CE, beautiful in appearance and right out of the box, in tune, and very playable. I let it acclimate to my environment for about 2 hours and then picked it up expecting to not sound very good as it was still a little cold from riding around in a truck for days to get here, but it sounded great at least to my 82 year old deteriorating ears.

I emailed Denny Jr. To see when to lower strings to recommended 3/16 at 12th fret and he responded back to me within 10 minutes. Try and find better service than that!

I just love my Zager guitar. I'm playing so much better and often than my on my old guitar of 20 years. My ZAD900CE is one of the best purchases I've made in my lifetime. Completely happy after two years or so of use.
I just referred my buddy to your new Zagar 50th anniversary guitar which he promptly ordered! He says he can't wait to get it! -Darrell Perry

"I have owned a couple of Martin's, three different Taylor's - the good stuff. I stumbled upon Zager Guitar and read many reviews. I decided to order a ZAD900E as I wanted a dreadnought and the "big" sound a dreadnought can deliver. It arrived today and I've been playing it throughout the day. The guitar is not only beautiful with impeccable craftsmanship but the sound is rich and full. Plugged in and playing with the Fishman Aura - amazing! Customer service is excellent. I would highly recommend this guitar and Zager in general. Excellent value and everything has exceeded my expectations. And it truly is the easiest acoustic guitar I have ever played. I noticed it right away."

I've been playing guitar for 57 years, but for the last 18 years I've had trouble getting the sound I wanted, yet knew I was capable of. I had my old guitar worked on, but nothing helped. I was attracted to Zager's claim that his guitars were easy play. I've now had my Zager guitar for several weeks, and the joy in playing is back. It's a beautiful guitar, with beautiful sound, and it is truly easier to play. I am beyond delighted! The team was very nice to work with as well.

For 50-years I've played all types of string instruments, in all types of genres, with the guitar being my primary. I'm not a musician by trade although I still enjoy some jam sessions with friends. I've always had a challenge with getting the strings on an acoustic pressed down to the fret board without some effort.

I came about Zager Guitars by accident so I thought I'd give them a try. I just received a set of Zager Pillow Soft Guitar Strings and placed them on an inexpensive and hard to play guitar. All I can say is…OUTSTANDING! This guitar and player have come to life!

The quality of the strings, the clarity, the pure tone, the rich visual - (they're gold), the ease of play, the bendable ease, are just a few of the qualities that exist with these extraordinary strings. It's just a soft touch of the finger to meet the fingerboard and to gain incredible sound and tone. These strings resonate like no others and I'm able to play harmonics on this old acoustic!

I love that Zager Guitars is a family owned and run business, and that they respond personally to emails and phone calls. Dennis Zager has a genuine story to tell and he takes pride in their product and in their desire to take good care of their customers. I'm impressed with their understanding of the guitar and make those subtle yet so important build techniques in every one of their guitars. I really like buying direct from the owners and not from some guitar store.

Well…I'm sold. My order for a custom-built guitar by Zager will be placed in a couple of weeks. I will then have a product and support that stands above all others.

Well done Zager Guitars.

I recently purchased this guitar to basically re-learn how to play. I am left handed and when I was young I just turned a guitar upside down and taught myself to play in that manner. I gave it up along the way because there comes a time that you realize you just can't reach certain chords playing that way. Now, some 25 - 30 years later, I have a desire to pick it up again but learn it "the right way", and the promise of the easy play feature of Zager guitars is what drew me to their website, and I was also attracted by Denny's lessons library and teaching method. The "easy play" part has exceeded my expectations, I can tell you that, and the beauty and craftsmanship is totally amazing! Every aspect of this guitar (as well as the case with the digital humidity monitor) screams quality. From the first time I took it out of the box I have found it to be everything they promised, and more; the electronics are world class, the finish is fantastic, and the combination of woods used is beautiful. The lessons library is already speeding me towards my goal; with them, and by using the experience that I DID have, although upside down, I am already playing some songs again, and this wonderful new guitar allows me to practice as long as I want since it is so easy to play. Thanks again Zager guitars - couldn't be happier if I was twins!

I've been a picker for 40 years. And during that time, I've bought, sold, and owned a lot of high-end guitars. When my brother introduced me to Zager recently, I thought there must be a catch or a gimmick. But after reading dozens of reviews and watching just as many videos, I decided to take a chance. After all, what did I have to lose with a 30-days money-back guarantee. Well, my ZAD80CE Aura arrived today, and I barely stopped playing it to write this review. I'm astonished at the quality, playability, and beauty of this instrument. Now, I'm wondering what to do with all my other guitars because they might not get played. There's no hype, friends. Buy a Zager guitar!

I thought I'd have to give up playing guitar because of severe arthritis in my left hand, I checked out Zager Guitars and ordered one. Wonderful tone quality to the guitar itself and wonderful customer service, I highly recommend this company's guitars. I can continue playing, and my arthritis doesn't seem as bad now!

I just received my ZAD80CEOM Cutaway Electric Guitar from Zager and I couldn't be happier the Guitar is beautiful and plays like a dream and their customer server is top of the line any question or issue is handled almost immediately.

I love my new Zager Parlor guitar. The tone is outstanding. It is very playable and I love to just pick it up and play a tune. I own several high end guitars and this Zager handmade is as good as any guitar I have ever played. Aesthetically and musically this Zager Parlor guitar is top of the line. If you are looking for a new, playable guitar with great tone and sound, I highly recommend a Zager guitar. The Service was outstanding. The Zager family treated me wonderfully.

I've been playing guitars since I was 13, and the Zager ZAD900 is the best I've ever owned over that half-century. And that collection includes Martins, Mossmans, and Taylors. The Zager features great playability, sound, looks, and price. Love the electronics package, too!

I recently purchased a Zager ZAD80CEOM guitar online with a 30 day money back try at home with free shipping both ways. After reviewing their website and checking the ratings product line and prices of their guitars, I decided to get one because of their guarantee. Upon receiving my guitar I was totally impressed by the workmanship, quality attachments and awesome sound. Denny Zager is a true craftsman with a laudable business. I am grateful to have discovered Zager Easy Play Guitars and will continue doing business with them.

I am blown away by the level of professionalism the entire Zager Guitar team operates under. They treat you like family and get you into a guitar that you can finally fall in love with. My brand new ZAD80-CE Aero is magnificent. I was forced to sell a much more expensive Taylor 717 Pacific Builder Edition guitar and never thought I could find a less expensive guitar to play like it. I was wrong. The ZAD80, with its Cedar top and Rosewood sides and back produces a sound of harmonic heaven. I am so impressed.

Due to severe arthritis in my hands and wrists, I had been unable yo play my guitar for over 2 years. I ordered a Zager Travel Guitar and was surprised by its play ability, good sound, excellent design and workmanship. It has definitely helped to recapture some of my playing flexibility. It definitely outshines any of the other competitors of the same size in both beauty and price.

I would like to share some comments about my Zager ZAD 80CE Cutaway Acoustic, Electric black guitar. This is an extremely high-quality instrument. Best of all is the specially designed neck. For someone like me with shorter, fatter, arthritis-challenged fingers the slightly wider string spacing and the Zager low-tension strings allow me to play reasonably well and are a joy to play. I have been able to play longer practice sessions with no hand issues. This guitar is a beautiful instrument with a mirrored, piano-black finish. It has an outstanding full acoustic sound. The Aura on-board electronics are exceptional with the ability to access four preset (yours or factory) sound selections which are terrific sounding. I enjoy being part of the friendly and responsive Zager "family." I have always gotten a timely and informative response to my questions. Their web site is full of great information. I couldn't ask for more from my Zager guitar and the Zager company.

My comment is as much about Zager as an organization as it is about their guitars. After much research and Lord only knows how many Facebook ads, I decided to try a Zager I picked a dreadnaught in 50 series, paid my money, and waited.

When my shipment arrived, boy was I surprised – and embarrassed! I had accidentally ordered an OM. I called Zager, hoping to arrange an exchange. I explained that this was my error and offered to pay the return freight and pay for the 2nd guitar; expecting a credit once Zager received my returned "mistake."

Here's what I heard from Zager: "Not a problem. We'll send you a pre-paid return label and send you the replacement, no 2nd payment required. Wait until you receive the dreadnaught before you ship the OM back. We don't want you to be without a guitar."

This is how companies USED to operate. I call them "Small Townies" and the only shame is that they are so few and far between these days. The guitars themselves are everything that Zager promised. I was so impressed that I bought both guitars. Here's a photo of where they now live, closely guarded by Larry the Turtle.
