I looked for the right guitar for more than two years. The Zager has excellent sound, action, and quality. It gets better as you play it - It's a beautiful instrument and the Zagers are great to deal with - totally stand behind their products.

Best guitar on earth
April 12, 2020

I bought a zager zad50 om guitar over 3 years ago. I am new to playing and owned other more expensive guitars and found this guitar the easiest to learn on it is a pleasure to play. I would recommend Zager guitars to anyone just learning to play or the veteran player. Only guitar I will ever own.

ZAGER ZAD900CE
April 12, 2020

Craftsmanship: The guitar (ZAD900CE) has an understated beauty - simply has "good bones". Reminds me of a beautiful woman that doesn't need makeup or a fancy hairstyle to turn heads when she enters a room. The inlay is just enough "jewelry" to be noticed.

Customer Focused: Can't overstate how helpful, friendly and positive Dennis and staff are with which to do business. I asked numerous (some "dumb") questions and was always responded to quickly and warmly. Loved dealing with this outfit.

Acoustic Sound: Robust is the word that comes to mind. Rich, warm and pleasing are some others.

Amplified Sound: Awesome. The Fishman Aura Pro images are easy to set up, and the flexibility to easily switch to a different blended sound simply makes playing FUN. ZAGER could not have chosen a better preamp pickup... perfect marriage.

Summary: This ZAGER makes the 13th add to my collection and I suspect it will become my favorite. It truly is easier to play than most steel string acoustics. Sincere kudos to the ZAGER company for this treasure. It is a first class instrument.

I keep it next to my desk and it's the perfect size to pick up and pick a little tune when I'm stressing.

I was looking around for a Zager and this one is near perfect. Beautiful solid mahogany construction, abalone inlays, Grover tuners, even the case is gorgeous. The construction of this thing is truly top notch.

The sound is surprisingly deep for a smaller guitar with good sustain and clear ringing highs. It's super easy to play with excellent action and string-feel.

Size, workmanship, and ease of playing make my Zager Parlor totally one of my favorite guitars! Customer service is excellent too!

Love my Zager.

Zad 80 ce
April 12, 2020

I researched this company for months and read all the reviews. As a former police officer I was still skeptical despite all the wonderful comments
Also who in their right mind spends big money on a quality Instrument without holding it and playing it? Me, that's who.
I have played guitar for 55 years and this is the best sounding and easiest playing guitar I've ever played and I played them all.
My communication with Dennis jr was pleasant and he answered my e mails almost immediately every time.
The guitar was shipped perfectly and IN TUNE. Played for 3 hours straight without realizing the time. Plays as easily as my electric guitar if not easier due to the smooth fretboard.
Dealing with the zager family is a simple stress free experience which is not easy to come by these days.
I look forward to a long term relationship with zager guitars as I need their support for future maintenance and supplies.
Anyone living in the Tampa st Petersburg area in Florida is welcome to stop by and see this beautiful Instrument for yourself.

I have had my ZAD50 OMCE for 2 years. I played a Takamine for 27 years and loved it. Compared with the Zager is like night and day. The action is amazing. I can play bar chords I could never play before and my fingers never hurt after playing for a couple hours. My next Zager will be the 900 12 string.

I love this guitar!
April 10, 2020

I bought my Zager years ago, on a whim, because I was sure there was no way it could live up to its advertising. Boy, was I wrong! Right out of the case, it played like a dream. In fact, I liked it so much, I bought another one for a gift to a young woman who was just learning to play. The sound on these guitars is smooth and mellow and the action is awesome. What a great way to help build a beginner's confidence. Buy one--you will NOT be sorry. I still love mine!

Best of the best
April 8, 2020

Over the last 6 mo I have been looking for a guitar that would be easy to play but also be of such quality I could use it as an heirloom years from now. The ZAD 900 is all that and more. The workmanship is exceptional and sound is great only to get better with age. It was worth the wait and search. Thank you Jim

ZAD80 Guitar
April 7, 2020

My new ZAD80 arrived a couple of days ago. I cannot believe how easy it is to play. I played folk music in college (many years ago) on a couple of old used instruments and sang with a couple of groups. I even had a 12-string for a while. So it's been a few years since I even came close to a guitar. Imagine my surprise and delight when I opened the case, picked up this top quality instrument, and sat down to play. The action is superb, especially after a couple of tweaks to the truss rod. I have small hands and this guitar fits perfectly. I am now a fan of bluegrass music and have attended several sessions with my 5-string banjo. I'm not very good at it. Now I can sit in on jam sessions with a superb instrument with a wonderful tone that fits me and allows me to play and sing with the best of them. I bet those folks playing Martins are going to be jealous.

I'm 66 years old and started playing 4-5 months ago on a full-sized dreadnought acoustic. Great progress but some arthritis challenges and ulnar nerve pain developed. So I started researching, found the Zager website and read every review I could find. The concept of Easy Play and the reviews comparing the sound to much higher priced guitars were great but I still had questions. Dennis Zager Jr. Promptly answered all of them and I found out Denny Sr. Had similar issues a few years back and has been playing an OM mostly since. The ZAD80CE OM arrived perfectly packed in its high quality case at the correct humidity. It's a beautiful instrument and the sound is amazing even compared to my full-sized dreadnought. And over the last 2 weeks of playing at least daily my nerve and muscle issues have resolved. I'll be happily playing this guitar for a long time! I also followed up with Dennis Jr. About some long-term maintenance questions and the response came in less than 24 hours even after the purchase. I could not be happier with this purchase and the customer service I received. Thank you.

My Dream Guitar
April 6, 2020

My ZAD 900CE Tobacco Sunburst arrived this week. It is beautiful, sounds and plays fantastic. I could not be happier. I have played a lot of guitars in the last 50 years and this by far is the best guitar I have ever owned.The Aura System is awesome and the sound is unbelievable.

I just received my Zager ZAD900e and could not be happier!. The fit and finish is flawless, a beautiful work of art. It plays and sounds great and will only improve with age. I wouldn't hesitate to compare to any of the other major manufacturers at twice the price, although I think the sound quality and overall playability of the Zager is better. I look forward to many years of satisfaction as I age with the guitar. Thank you Denny Sr. And Denny Jr. For your great work and service.

Best ever
April 5, 2020

As a 30 plus year player, I have noticed my playing slowed and selection choices for
Guitars has increased. With Zager guitars,
Against others, there is no choice. I have a good selection of guitars, however my zager is my "go to" every time. It fits like a glove and is as comfortable. Feels like going home. The other guitar is 42 year old fender. No comparison!

Being retired gives me time, time to play my Zager! Being retired also means my hand strength is somewhat diminished due to arthritis. That's why I love my Zager so much. It's extremely easy on my hands and fingers, looks great, and sounds fabulous. I've played Martins, Gibsons, and Taylors and my Zager equals or surpasses them in every way. Zager customer service is also top notch. The few times I've had a question I've received an answer within hours. I am one satisfied customer.

Great Guitar
April 4, 2020

Just received the Zager parlor we bought for our son. He started learning with a Yamaha CGS102A (half-sized classical) about a year ago and was ready for an upgrade. Debated for some time on what to get him, and eventually decided to go with the Zager parlor. He loves it. It looks and sounds amazing. Couldn't be happier with the purchase and knowing he'll continue to learn on a great quality instrument that will last for years.

Work of Art
April 2, 2020

I received my Zager guitar today and could not be more pleased. It plays beautifully and looks incredible.
As much of a work of art as it is a musical instrument. I will be playing it for years to come.

I wanted a 12 fret parlor and I'm glad I chose Zager. This guitar is gorgeous, it just sustains forever when you play a single note. I checked the guitar over and it is perfect. I am thinking about a nice Martin or Taylor guitar for my 60th birthday. Now I will be seriously looking at a Zager ZAD900 as well.
