I've been playing since 1965 I bought the ZAD80CE. With free shipping and returns I had nothing to lose. I absolutely love this guitar. Plays easy, sounds great and looks pretty. Very nicely made. And unbelievable customer service. One of the nicest guitars I've owned.

The 30 day guarantee sold me and I got the guitar yesterday. Came in a nice case with a digital humidity display. The guitar was flawless and absolutely pristine, not a speck of dust! The are beautiful. Actually the whole “Easy Play” thing worried me a bit, but after I picked it up and started playing it was just a normal guitar. A really high end guitar. Yes it plays easier than the Taylor did but the smaller OM body has a lot to do with that. Tone is fantastic, even better than the Taylor. Notes last forever with a sweet finish. And the Fishman Aura Pro onboard system sounds great through my Friedman amp. I absolutely love this guitar! It won’t be going anywhere

ZAD50CE

I received my ZAD50CE in 5 days after ordering it. When I opened the box out came the guitar case with a beautiful Sunburst ZAD50CE Guitar inside.

Zager is a quality guitar

I bought a ZAD900CE Solid Spruce/Rosewood Acoustic Electric AURA Pro Series 50th Anniversary Tobacco Sunburst back in July. It's a beautiful guitar. I tune up the guitar and start playing. It's loud and bright and the playability is almost like playing an electric guitar. I immediately know I made the right choice. There's no other way to describe it except I love this guitar; the way it sounds, the way it looks... I'm really considering buying another one of Zager's mahogany guitars when I have saved enough money; I hear mahogany has a very rich tone. I'm truly impressed with the quality. Zager is a quality guitar and I’m ecstatic to have one.

Yes, I waited longer than I expected for them to arrive, but the fact that you went to this length to please and satisfy a customer is so classy and professional and appreciated! The guitars are beautiful, extremely well built, and sound amazing. And yes, the BOGO guitar sounds amazing as well! You have won a loyal customer for life.
