How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
As much as I love the Guild I've been playing for the last 27 years, there's really no comparison. My new Zager plays easier, it's lighter, and the sounder is crisper and far more resonant. The sustain is far beyond that of the Guild.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
How surprisingly light it is for the amount and quality of sound it produces.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I'd guess in the $1500 to $2000 price range.
How would you rate customer support?
The customer service is unsurpassed. Dennis answered every question I asked him, no matter how trivial, within minutes of my emailing him. He directed me to the right place on the Zager website if the answer was to be found there and was very, very patient with my persistent and many emails.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
For all of the reasons I stated above and because we should all make music! This guitar is perfect for beginners because of how easily it plays. It's also perfect for the most seasoned pro, who will be able to get amazingly beautiful tones out of one of these babies!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I was looking for a good guitar for my daughter, I was about to buy her a $1500 - $5000 Martin. Her #1 is a Luna guitar that sounds pretty good. She did confirm that the Zager does play easier and sounds better than her Luna. She said it is her new #1 now. I'm planning to get her a ZAD900CE one day.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I'm happy my daughter likes all aspects of the guitar. She really wanted the Mahogany and the ZAD50 was a good choice.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I'm not good at pricing, but I would have thought it could go for at least $900 - $1000.
How would you rate customer support?
Great!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, and I already have. I think it's a good deal on a good sounding guitar.
Additional comments:
To me it's a deal that will be hard to beat. Easier to play, good price, great sound and seems to be great quality so far. I love it. Shipped quickly also.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have always played Ovation and judge the others by my 70's model. The face, of course, cracked and had to be reglued but it plays as well or better than the Martin or the Gibson I own. The Zager plays as well as my old Ovation but has a more mellow "woody" sound which I like. The string tension seems less and I don't need to press down so hard on the Zager.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I have the Zager Parlor and I enjoy the 12 fret neck.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$500- $600
How would you rate customer support?
Customer support is the best I have ever seen or heard of.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I don't ever plan on buying any other brand and plan to tell every one I know about Zager guitars.

I hope to purchase an OM model very soon Virgil Fiske 102 Rd 3950 Farmington, NM 87401

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Being a "newbie", I'd not had much experience with many different styles of guitars so my opinion was not tainted by nostalgia, allegiance, or habit. I simply took the guitar out of the case and played it to see if it was as vibrant and reactive as the reviews said. I had fully planned on returning it if in any way deviant from the reviews. Well, to the contrary, it was magnificent. The sound is so rich in both the high and the low tones. The middle ranges stand their ground as well! Now, I stop in guitar stores just to see if any guitars at similar price points come close. They don't and it makes me smile!
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The undeniable ease of play is my favorite "feature" of the zad80ce. It is, without question, easier to play than any other guitar I've yet sampled. The little things that Denny's Easy Play technique change result in having a much more enjoyable time playing. Especially for beginners but for anyone frankly. I mean why not play a better sounding instrument that is ALSO easier to play. Just makes sense...
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Seems to play like some of the $3500.00 guitars out there (and up...). I don't know who would buy those though if only they'd try a Zager zad80ce first!
How would you rate customer support?
Quick responses to my questions and a complete 100% money back guarantee. Can't really ask much more than that from any company.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely!!!!!! I would only ask that a person try the Zager zad80ce before trying another guitar. It will sell itself if they'll only try it!
Additional comments:
I love this guitar. I've got a long way to go till I can play to its potential but it's nice to know I won't "outgrow" it any time soon. A real beautiful instrument from a great company!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Ease of play is second to none including Takamine, Ovation, Adamas, and Martin. The craftsmanship compared to any of the Martins I've played and exceeds most that cost three times what Zager sells for. The tonal quality is superb with clear and resounding lows, and the mids and highs are crisp and clear. The sustain is remarkable!
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Besides being gorgeous, it is so easy to play.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$2200 - $2500
How would you rate customer support?
It is like gaining a few new friends that hit it off from the beginning.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I already have and will continue to do so because of the excellent value, and excellent service. I've been buying from the same car dealer since 1976 for the same reason.
Additional comments:
This is an honest review, well deserved for the time and effort of everyone at Zager.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
First, I have never played professionally, only for myself, However I have had a Kaye electric, Wurlitzer base, Sigma Six-String and a Sigma 12-String accoustic currewntly. Due to an injury four years ago to my wrist, I hven't played the 12-string and am planning to sell the guitar.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I'm sure I will find other things that impress me, but the quality of the wokmanship and the sound emitted from the instrument.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Hard for me to say, but I would say just from appearnace it is equal to or superior to Martin guitars that I am very familiar with. These guitars begin at around $1,200.00 and go up from there.
How would you rate customer support?
Everything was done quickly and efficiently throughout the processing of my order thru the delivery be UPS. Even after delivery, I emailed to say the guitat had arrived and was answered almost immeditely, thaankning me for the email.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Having not played the guitar. I woul;d have to wait and see to be sure. I do know the beauty of the guitar and after jusr trying a few chords; I will have to learn to place my fingers a little differently, but wih much less pressure then others played before.
Additional comments:
Hoping to have success with the guitar in the very near future. The photo is of my wife and I in Galway, Ireland. She passed away this last April and I think returning to the guitar will aid in my grieving her loss.

In most instances the sound of the Zagers is superior. The playability is far superior.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The set-up and the action on both of my Zagers are my favorites. They are better than on any other guitars I have tried. Denny has spoiled me with his work and care.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
ZAD-50ce est. $1500 to $1800. ZAD-90ce est. $4500 to $5500.
How would you rate customer support?
Customer service and support has been 12 on a scale of 10. Dennis and Denny have been extremely responsive. As noted above the work done by Denny on the guitars is superb. On customer contact, Dennis is always available and responsive. Dennis responds to any and all inquiries on a very timely basis. All of my questions have been answered in under an hour. The Zagers are always happy to help and to insure customer satisfaction.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I will gladly recommend Zager to other. The quality and value for money of the Zager guitars cannot be topped.
Additional comments:
Two members of my family are professional musicians. Both of my brothers-in-law have Martins. Neither of them could believe the tremendous quality and the great playability of the Zagers.

My other guitar is a Fender Stat so there is no comparison. they are a totally different experience.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Number one is the sound. the tonal quality is sweet and wonderful. I even get comments from across the room from my wife Gail on how great the sound of the guitar is. It resonates oh so well. I also like its playability. The set up is done in a manner where it is quite easy for me to get my medium sized fingers where they need to go.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Probably 800-1000 bucks.
How would you rate customer support?
Five Star Plus. Being in AZ, I had a little problem with buzz on high E, 12th fret. I ended up calling support and with no hassle what so ever, was able to send it back to Zager Co. and get a new one sent back to me. All of this took less than a week. The new guitar is perfect No buzz, just sweet sound. Zager's were in contact with me through out and I will say, with their service and products, they dont just "Talk the Talk", they also "Walk the Walk" and 100% do everything they say they will do to make things right. Try and find that level of service at most of you local stores these days where ever you live!!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely, without hesitation I would. 1. The Quality of the instrument. I have not been a prior guitar player but I have been a musician all of my life having played 5 other instruments for years. I know quality instruments when I play them. This is one!! 2. As I mentioned, the personal and honest service these folks do business with. Very rare these days. 3. The price. I spent a day recently in a local Guitar Center Store just "playing". There were no guitars there that I tried in the same price category that could compare. my Z played more like a Martin.

all I can say is that I am very happy and 100% satisfied with this guitar. Super service and follow through with the company was "icing on the cake" in this day and age. my mailing address is: Russell Wagner; 143 E. Merritt Ave., Prescott, AZ 86301 thanks.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My other guitar is a Fender Stat so there is no comparison. they are a totally different experience.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Number one is the sound. the tonal quality is sweet and wonderful. I even get comments from across the room from my wife Gail on how great the sound of the guitar is. It resonates oh so well. I also like its playability. The set up is done in a manner where it is quite easy for me to get my medium sized fingers where they need to go.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Probably 800-1000 bucks.
How would you rate customer support?
Five Star Plus. Being in AZ, I had a little problem with buzz on high E, 12th fret. I ended up calling support and with no hassle what so ever, was able to send it back to Zager Co. and get a new one sent back to me. All of this took less than a week. The new guitar is perfect No buzz, just sweet sound. Zager's were in contact with me through out and I will say, with their service and products, they dont just "Talk the Talk", they also "Walk the Walk" and 100% do everything they say they will do to make things right. Try and find that level of service at most of you local stores these days where ever you live!!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely, without hesitation I would. 1. The Quality of the instrument. I have not been a prior guitar player but I have been a musician all of my life having played 5 other instruments for years. I know quality instruments when I play them. This is one!! 2. As I mentioned, the personal and honest service these folks do business with. Very rare these days. 3. The price. I spent a day recently in a local Guitar Center Store just "playing". There were no guitars there that I tried in the same price category that could compare. my Z played more like a Martin.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have not tried very many. Compared to my other acoustic, it sounds great and is much easier to play. It is also beautiful.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It sounds great, but the ease of play actually brought joy to me.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I don't really have the experience to answer.
How would you rate customer support?
Excellent. Every email I sent answered promptly, was kept informed and taken csre of.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Very much so.
Additional comments:
I am really a beginner. I am 50 years old, have big hands and fingers. I always wanted to learn to play, and a couple of years ago I bought a guitar and took a few lessons. The difficulty I was having forming the chords with my big hands and I guess age related flexibility caused me so much frustration I quit. The biggest culprit was the A chord. I just couldn't get my three fingers on the adjacent strings in the same fret easily, and then I heard the buzzes and flat notes a lot of beginners are familiar with. It made changing chords to play a song impossible. A few weeks ago, I started practicing again and actually seemed to be getting somewhere, but the same difficulties arose, so I decided to look for a new guitar. I don't remember if I read about Zager first or saw it on Ebay, but the EZ-Play system sounded like what I was looking for. I read reviews and testimonials and decided to take the plunge. As soon as I received the guitar and took it out of the box, I played the dreaded A chord. I formed it without struggles and strummed, then picked. All the strings rang out and no buzzes. That moment alone has made me a satisfied customer. I strummed a few songs almost good enough to play in front of someone else. I am very happy. I can't talk very knowledgeably about action, fret height, etc. I am a very raw beginner. But I love to hear guitars and in the short time I have had my Zager I have enjoyed playing more than I ever have.

I have a 60's Gibson Hummingbird, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan and your guitar sounds if anything, superior. It's not as sharp a sound as the Gibson, more mellow, probably the difference in spruce and cedar, but I like it better for my "folkie" type music. Even though I had the Gibson professionally set up, custom nut and saddle, the Zager plays easier. I also play a Larrivee twelve string. Both the Gibson and the Larrivee are first class instruments, but in no way better than your unit.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It has a unique feel in the way it plays. I also like its mellow tone, and it is so easy on the fingers. The quality and woods are also outstanding.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
At least $2000.00
How would you rate customer support?
Best ever.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would recommend it to anyone wanting to purchase a quality instrument on a budget. I have compared it to a Martin (which I was considering before finding the Zager). Your quality is better than the new Martins. My opinion is that the big name makers, (Martin and Gibson) are now making their Guitars based on Business School principals of marketing, and losing the craftsmanship that made them great. I know a company has to make a profit, but it is a fine line of providing a quality item at a reasonable price. Zager has found it!

This guitar plays much easier and with a greater depth of sound than the other guitars I have played.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I love the richness of the sound it produces and the fact that I can play it longer than my other guitars without fatigue.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would guess this would be in the $1,000-$1,500 range.
How would you rate customer support?
The customer support I have received has been exceptional with top notch service and responses to questions that are quick and very helpful.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would recommend this guitar to anyone who enjoys playing, from beginners to veterans.
Additional comments:
Thank you Zager Guitar, it has been several years since I played guitar and not only have you had an amazing impact on my desire and ability to play with your on line instructions, but you have made playing a sheer joy that will last a lifetime. You exceeded my expectations in every way!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Well, it's incomparable :-) I have no old, other, or store-tried guitars in my life.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The quality of craftsmanship and the feel and size (OM) of the guitar. I'm still working on building calluses (week 2), so E-Z play or not, my fingertips are tender. However, if the action were any higher I'd be really discouraged, so I guess I also appreciate the action. My friend with the Martin D-28 tried out my new Zager and said it played easier than his Martin. So, there you go.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I truly do not know, but apparently at least half again what I paid for it.
How would you rate customer support?
Superb. The best I can remember in decades. Almost instaneous responses to e-mails, answers to questions, and kind considerations -- always sincere, friendly and accommodating.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. Because of its quality, value for the cost, and most-excellent customer service.
Additional comments:
I just started accessing the lesson library, and am duly impressed with all the contents and opportunities for me to learn online from Denny about the guitar and how to play it in the year ahead.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My new 50CE has a warm yet bright tone that really sounds great unplugged. The playability of this guitar makes it hard to put down. In fact, I am finding myself looking for ways to bring it everywhere I go if I think I will have time to play it. I presently own a Takamine EF-349 all mahogony body guitar as well. This Zager is very similar to the sound of the Takamine. I can't say I like the Zager 50CE sound more, but it a very warm and bright sound that makes it a pleasure to play. However, as advertised, the Zager Guitar is much easier to play, has more room for my fingers resulting in almost no string buss ever, and as others have stated, my fingers are feeling better since I have been playing the Zager. I have been playing the Zager now for about 2 weeks, around an hour a day and I am really enjoying this new Zager.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The fit and finish is really incredible and the sound is great as well.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$800 to $1000. But the support and personal attention of the Zager family makes it worth much more.
How would you rate customer support?
A++++++. I could not be happier.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I already have recommended it to all my friends. It's getting a lot of attention at church. I am so looking forward to playing it on stage tomorrow for the first time.
Additional comments:
I have never had a music company go to such lengths to earn my business. There will always be instruments out there that sound better and you will pay for it. But I can't say enough about the response I have gotten from Dennis Jr during this purchase and to me this makes the purchase so much more of a value. If you are reading this and you're undecided, take my word for it, you won't be disappointed by their guitars or the personal service that the Zager Guitar Company gives you. And the risk-free money back gaurantee makes the decision even easy for you.

I've owned some very high end guitars - from Fenders, Martins, Guilds, and a custom made Frank Gay and I'm as impressed with my Zager as anything I've ever owned or played. I've only had the guitar a short time but I love it already. It is in the top 3 guitars I've owned and I've no doubt it will quickly take over as #1.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I love the ease of playing the most and I'm really impressed by the beautiful tone that it delivers.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
It is right uo there with a Martin D28 in the $2800.00 range.
How would you rate customer support?
So far the support has been unbelievable. I've appreciated all the info I received and the contact I've had with Zager Guitars.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I'm going to be bragging about to everyone of my guitar buddies. The ease of play, the sound, the service and the exceptional value are going to be my highlights.

As a mainly electric guitar player, I've never really had a good acoustic guitar. But just as with a good electric, when you pick up this guitar, you can tell it is high quality. Originally I wanted to get a vintage MIJ dreadnaught. I stumbled on to your site and after hearing and reading about these guitars, I decided why not get a brand new guitar instead? I made a good decision.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It's got to be the sound! So warm yet punchy at the same time. It sustains forever. Using a flat pick, you can hear wonderful overtones from each note that you pick.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Probably around $1000 to $1,200?
How would you rate customer support?
Good so far. No complaints. The lifetime guarantee and the full return policy tells me that this company believes in and stands by their products.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I already have recommended Zager to a couple of my friends. The quality you get for the price... how can you go wrong?
