Great Guitar!
January 20, 2021

I was originally skeptical about buying a guitar over the internet but was pleasantly surprised with the instrument I received. The website is very informative with a lots choices and levels in instruments. I chose the ZAG 50CE and can not put the thing down. It is very easy to play. I wanted a guitar made in America by a small business and I'm glad I found Zager Guitars.

Wow!
January 20, 2021

Gorgeous guitar, and it sounds outstanding.

Playing this guitar is Iike butter. The chords sound so good and there's no zinging, which I had a lot on my Takamine.
I'm a newbie, but I can tell this guitar is top quilaty in every way!

The guitar came quickly and was packaged securely inside a big, sturdy box. Every detail about this guitar and the customer service surpassed any and all expectations.
Very happy!

Still Very Happy
January 19, 2021

It's now been about 3 1/2 months that I've had my ZAD900CE and it gets better each day. I'm finally almost over using the finger pressure from my almost 50 years of playing and able to take advantage of the Zager's lighter finger pressure and lower action. The tone gets better all the time, or maybe I'm playing it in a way to maximize it's tone. Anyway I continue to be exceptionally happy that I found Zager guitars and bought one. I have already ordered a 2nd Zager guitar.

The guitar exceeded my expectations. The quality, sound and playability are excellent, right out of the box. I can only imagine how good the sound will be as the instrument matures over the coming years.
I contacted Dennis Jr a number of times. He was very responsive and made my purchasing experience exceptional.

Best guitar ever
January 15, 2021

I purchased the Zager Guitar model ZAD900CE Solid Spruce/Rosewood Acoustic Electric AURA Pro Series after considering many other premium quality options including Martin, Gibson, Taylor and several others. I could not be more pleased. Not only does it live up to its "easy play" description, this instrument rules on the stage as well as my practice closet. Thank you Zager family for your incredible production quality. I highly recommend you giving one a test drive, soon!
Sincerely
Michael Scott

I'm an intermediate guitarist and decided to get a new guitar. Long story short, I came across Zager's website a couple of weeks ago and the Sunburst ZAD90CE was the guitar I wanted. It arrived yesterday and it's a gem. Yes, it plays really well, but for me what caught my attention was that the sound is amazing and it's still brand new and will continue to sound better in the coming months and years. I asked a couple of questions to Dennis Jr. And he responded almost immediately and was extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to when I can show this beautiful guitar to my guitar playing friends here in Nashville.

Expectations vs. Reality! ZAD50CE
January 12, 2021

I am a new guitar player as of COVID back in March. I was researching guitars from friends, local stores and yes... the internet. That's where I watched some videos about the Zager guitar their story. At first I skeptical about the hype online. However, as a prospective customer, I sent several emails to their team and their responses were all prompt and honest. Ultimately, I order and received my ZAD50CE. I am in Boston and read that I should let it stay in the box overnight to adjust to the indoor temp. Once I played it I was hooked and absolutely love it so far! Playing an A chord is truly a difference with their string spacing as you've highlighted online. I can't wait to hear how the sound "warms" over time. The guitar case also is exceptional! Very happy I made this choice and will hopefully be back for ZAD80CE in a few years too. Thank you!

Great Guitars
January 12, 2021

Denny Zager builds fantastic, awesome Guitars. I've owned, and played many different brands of guitars. Most of the ones I wanted were way to expensive. That is until I came across Zager guitars. I have read, studied and dream about getting one of these guitars. I really wanted one and I finally bought one that was offered at a discount. The 30 day money back guarantee encouraged me to go ahead and try it. The guitar was shipped to me. It was packaged so good that the guitar came in without a bend in the box it was shipped in. I was surprised when I unwrapped the bubble wrap and opened the free guitar case with a humidifier built into it. The guitar is beautiful, the workmanship is superb and the sound of the ZAD50CE is so nice. I would put it up to any of the major, popular guitars on the market today in 2,500 to 3,000 dollar range. It really is an easy play guitar and is great for my arthritic hands and fingers. I can practice for hours on it, and I don't end up with the deep creases in my fingers. I can't brag enough on this guitar. It will be my last one that I ever buy. I've finally found the One, I've been looking for since I was 14, and I'm 73 now. If a person will endeavor to persevere and believe and have hope. Things will finally come to us. Thanks, Denny Zager for being the Master Builder of Guitars.

Absolutely Amazing
January 7, 2021

This is by far one of the best guitars I've ever owned. I have a 1965 Martin D-18, a 1973 Taylor 618 and now an absolutely stunning Johnny Cash 800 Series Zager. It plays amazing, the craftsmanship is impeccable, and it sound ( in my opinion) better that my two iconic guitars. It sounds bright, big, warm and full... You will LOVE This instrument. If you're contemplating don't. I've been playing guitar now for over 50 years and you will not be disappointed!

ZAD900CE
January 6, 2021

I recently bought a Zager, to be honest I was a bit skeptical, and eventually decided to go ahead and give them a try, glad I did. The guitar I bought is absolutely beautiful, nicely appointed without being overbearing. The Zad 900 comes equipped with an Aura Pro electric pickup/imaging system by Fishman. The Aura system factory presets vary from a nice clean acoustic sound to what I would call a "dirty" electric, actually nice@ some times. The purchase package included a very nice custom case, high quality leather strap, 3 extra sets of strings, as well as some picks. The ZAD900CE that I have is everything I was led to believe it to be and I am more than pleased with the overall fit/feel as well as the playability of this model. The natural voice as well as sustain & clarity of this guitar is truly impressive. I would recommend this to anyone who is (on the fence) considering an upper end quality guitar.

This Guitar Is A Must Have!
January 2, 2021

I just received my new ZAD900E and when I opened the case I was blown away by the appearance. The craftsmanship is very apparent. I love the feel of the satin finish of the neck and how it blends in with the gloss finish of the Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood body. The 900 series has Curly Maple bindings that pop against the Rosewood. Equally as impressive as the looks is the sound, it is a rich deep sound. I watched videos of this model prior to purchasing and though it sounded great, but once you hear it in person it's absolutely amazing. The customer service is also very responsive to any questions or concerns you may have. I wanted the ZAD900E version meaning without the cutaway so I mentioned to Dennis Jr and I got a confirmation within minutes that it wouldn't be a problem, and in fact when I placed the order he remembered our conversation let me know that he had already noted it on the order.
This is a quality instrument and a must have!

I have just received a new Zager ZAD50CE OM from Dennis/Denny Zager and it is beautiful. The fit and finish are perfect and I am very pleased. This is my first graduate to an acoustical from a classical and the action/playability is prenominal. I look forward to many years service from this excellent instrument and to pass it on to my younger generation when I am gone.
A comment about Guarantee and Customer Service: I had previously received the same model from Zager and it had a dent (hit) behind the neck opposite the 3rd Fret. I immediately contacted Dennis and he immediately had another one sent out the same day. No questions asked! Just wanted to make sure I am satisfied and I could not be more pleased. The new one arrived within a few days and I sent the damaged one back with the delivery of the new one.
I would recommend anyone wanting an excellent playing and sounding acoustical guitar to look at the Zager Line. I know you would be greatly pleased with the instrument and the service from Dennis and Denny Zager is unreproachable.

I receivedmy new left handed ZAD80CE as a Christmas gift from my wife this year. She knew I had my eyes on this guitar. It is an absolutely beatiful instument. I have not been playing for long, but the differnece in the ease of playing and the sound compared to what I had been playing is amazing. I hope one of my grandkids plays left handed because I would love to pass this down for someone to enjoy it as much as I have for the past several days. My wife raved about the customer service, response and communication from Dennis Jr. When making this purchase.

Great Instrument!
December 31, 2020

Enter your Question:
Good morning! I just received my Zager 900CE Anniversary Tobacco Sunburst. I have played in church worship since I was 9. I have some very good guitars including a 1963 Gibson SJ and a Taylor Koa. This Zager is right up there with those fine guitars. It sounds great both unplugged and through the amplifier. The action on it is very nice and sounds awesome. I know quality made guitars and I would not settle for a cheap made imitation. Great price and worth it for the quality. Thank you for a great instrument!

In fact, it was Christmas! I received my new Zager traveler mahogany guitar on 28 december, after ordering it on the 23rd! That is pretty amazing shipping considering the season! The folks at Zager were extremely helpful, not only with the order, but also after the order when I wanted to add some accessories. Every one of my contacts was met with the most knowledgeable and kindest of responses.
I have spent hours with my guitar since it's arrival, and I cannot be more pleased with the quality, the sound, and the ease of play. I am by no means a guitarist, but after receiving and enjoying my new Zager guitar, I have high hopes! I also know that the Zager family will be supportive of me as I continue my practice. Thanks so much to Denny and his team!

Excellent product, fantastic customer service
December 30, 2020

This is my first purchase of a higher end guitar, and I couldn't be happier. The Aura electronics are a snap to use, the guitar sounds great, and the sound on this brand-now guitar, fresh wood and all, is better than a 20+-year-old Cort acoustic I've been playing for years. As advertised, the guitar is easy to play--I struggle with barre chords on most acoustics, but this guitar is MUCH easier to play than any acoustic I've ever owned. And Zager's 30-day 100% money-back guarantee includes shipping, which really put my mind at ease about giving the guitar a try.

Customer service has also been exceptional. Zager shipped quickly, and has responded promptly and helpfully to all my questions. It definitely put my mind at ease about what is (to date) my largest investment ever in a guitar.

One of the best purchases of my life!
December 28, 2020

I bought a ZAD-50 Natural on April 2005 and never expected an acoustic guitar to be this good! Being a Taylor, Ovation and Gibson player I cannot be more grateful fir the quality and playability of these guitars. I bought a second on a black finish. The tone is just as I loved and they have never needed a setup after all this years. They play exactly as new! I strongly recommend Zager guitars as an investment on quality craftsmanship and delicious playing comfort.

Great guitars!
December 28, 2020

I received my guitar in time for Christmas. It's lightweight, absolutely beautiful wood and Mother of pearl inlay. It plays well and was custom made just for me. I love it! Many musical artists use this brand, as well. I highly recommend them!
