How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I am actually a hobby luthier. This guitar I have had for 3 years and is the only guitar that I did not build myself that I will not part with. All other of the shelf guitars I had have been sold. The ZAD50 I play in church 3 or more times a week and will not part with it. It just gets better with age.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Plays great and the sound is incredible, I will put it up against any of the shelf guitar around.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1500 or more
How would you rate customer support?
great
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
yes

The neck and fretboard are the work of an expert, a talented master.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The neck, absolutely. Visually, the binding and attention to detail are striking. But, in a dark room, it's the neck, and of course, the sound!
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
A couple thousand, minimum. There are certainly more expensive instruments, out there, but it's doubtful, if there are many that are better.
How would you rate customer support?
I've not needed them yet. But, I'm betting that if the Zagers put the same effort into Customer Support that they do the guitars, it's ginna be a good experience.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Read the above. This guitar sings. It has a soul. They'll still be talking about these guitars in the year 2525. Count on it.
Additional comments:
I got it in my head to start asking Texas songwriters to sign my guitar. (it already had Denny's autograph on the back) This guitar has never failed to get compliments. It stands out from the rest of the crowd.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Gibson,Martin, and Yamahas are great, but Zager guitars are the best! to own one of their high- end guitars I have to pay triple for what I paid for my Zager guitar.However,the playability of Zager is three times better than any of those I mentioned.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The beauty, the quality, but to me the playability is now my top priority.When I play my other acoustics I can't play for more than thirty minutes then I have to stop because my fingers are hurting.Playing my new Zager is a breeze.It's really true a very easy to play guitar.the only thing it doesn' do is play itself.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
2500-3000$
How would you rate customer support?
The best in the whole wide world.First I'm so reluctant to buy online because I like to see and play the guitar first to avoid all the hassles and so fort.But they only sell their guitars online so there's no other choice.Their one hundred percent money back guaranteed is what made me to go for it.When I e-mailed Dennis Jr. the guitar I want he responded to me within minutes.He told me it's considered done.And within four days I received my new Zager guitar.plus all the goodies included in the package such as t-shirt, picks,strings,certificate of authenticity and the big plus is Denny Zager's picture holding and fine tuning my guitar.I feel like a rock star and he is my guitar tech,lol.I'm very happy to all the help and support they provided me and I'm now Zager's customer for life.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I recommend Zager guitars for beginners to pro.for beginners you will be inspired to learn and play because of the excellent playability and quality of this instruments.The pro will really enjoy the full potential of this magnificent instrument especially If you play lead.If you're a guitar player you will know what I mean.
Additional comments:
When Denny Zager put his signature on these guitars,I just knew that he put his heart and soul in making them.A beautiful work of art.The beauty,playability and quality speaks for itself.My search is over,I finally found my perfect acoustic electric guitar.A million thanks to Zager company and crew.

It is really easy to play and sound is clear than other famous brand guitar such as Yamaha and Martine. Also Even my guitar's material spruce, the sound is not sharp sound. just like cedar wood sound. and when I play cutting chords, tone balance is really good.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Sound
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
It does not matter price. It is priceless. It is my treasure.

Gibsons and Martins are great, but Zager guitars are the best! to own one of their high end guitars, I have to play triple for what I paid for my Zager guitar.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The neck, the smoothnes and evennes from the first fret all the way down towards the upper register is unrivaled.Denny used his own formula I called it the magic of string science. It's really true a very easy to play guitar. the only thing it doesn't do is play itself.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
The beauty and playability in my estimate is $2500-$3000 dollars.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Well, it ranks way above any guitar I've ever owned in all areas. Comparing it to the dream guitars that I'd played in stores (and couldn't afford), I'd say it is just as good as a very few, or better than all the rest I've tried. I've always loved the high tones of a Martin, and this guitar matches them. The reason I've never bought a Martin is that I felt the mid-range and lows were weak. I was going to buy a Yamaha, because they are so warm in those areas, but my Zager has the warm lows to go with the bright highs. It's the best of both worlds!
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Gosh, how about EVERYTHING?!?!?! Besides the beautiful range, the workmanship is evident, it is truly SO EASY to play, the finish is gorgeous!!! I also felt that the service I got from the Zagers was superb! The lifetime guarantee is also very comforting.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
This guitar is far superior to anything in the $1,000 price range. I would guess it to be in the $1,200 to $1,500 range. If I didn't know about wood, I would have guessed even higher!
How would you rate customer support?
First rate. I believe I asked, via e-mail, 3 questions of Dennis, and the longest it took him to respond was 50 minutes!!!!!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Definitely!!! I doubt I will ever buy another guitar for myself, but I have two accomplished guitarists in the family who keep trying to play mine (even though they have their own, more expensive guitars already), so I'm sure I'll probably be getting Zagers for them also. I played this guitar, unamplified, at a church that seats 1,500 people, and after the service, the guitarists in the congregation came to the choir loft and asked to try it. I think the guitar recommends itself!
Additional comments:
I've had it for 5 days now, and haven't stopped playing it, and my calluses are softening instead of hardening!

Similar in respect to cost, but the set up on the Zager was sweet, straight out of the box.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The neck and playability. However, I would prefer a single or parallel pieced neck and just feel it would serve the upper end aesthics that would sought in upper end guitars
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1500

Yes, playability is very good. Especially for novice players.

The Zager Parlor has a wonderful finish. Its action is likewise excellent, and it has the projection of a full-sized cutaway acoustic. Its tone is likewise nice, and the Zager Parlor is very responsive to touch.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It's impossible to pick; I'm amazed at the quality of appearance, the playability and the projection equally.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$700 ( Easily double what I paid for it )
How would you rate customer support?
From Dennis Jr to Jill, everyone has been wonderful. All my e-mail responses have been within hours, regardless of the day / time I have sent them. No big box store would ever respond as quickly.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I already have ( I've had the guitar for less than a week ). However, I don't need to say anything. I just let my friends play it, and they all become convinced.
Additional comments:
I bought one of the "discount" models. I am unable to find any flaws that I can justify the drop in price. Zager guitars have a high standard of quality, and I am very impressed with my guitar. Thank you, all

I have a Korean Dobro, which is loud acoustically and fun to busk with in the street. And I had an early 1954? Japanese made Goldtop Les Paul, which was fantastic, but I never used, and might have been worth a small fortune. But,..I sold it to a young man here, with Jimmi Hendricks talent,.just so I could buy my dream guitar; A Zager. I play mostly quiet, thoughtful songs, like In the Year 2525, with picking,slowed, and the acoustic quality of the Zager is so fine. I've a few rock and roll songs, today I'll plug it in and see what it sounds like with electricity.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Rave about it in all ways. Including case, generous,& individualized service. Zager Co. is the best.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
It's the best. Guitars can be made more expensive, or encrusted with diamonds. I doubt they can be made better.
How would you rate customer support?
Wow. Impressive, so pleasing to deal with you.

You betcha! Can't buy better anywhere.

I have a vintage Guild acoustic and an American Strat. I've played a variety of guitars, most recently a couple of Takamines. I bought a Takamine but didn't like the "tinny" sound. The ZAD50e has a deeper tone, more like a Gibson.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Impeccable finish, excellent setup...and the best case I've ever seen for a guitar.

I have a vintage Guild acoustic and an American Strat. I've played a variety of guitars, most recently a couple of Takamines. I bought a Takamine but didn't like the "tinny" sound. The ZAD50e has a deeper tone, more like a Gibson.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Impeccable finish, excellent setup...and the best case I've ever seen for a guitar.

It has the playability of my Ovation Adamas but has a much wider range in tone, the tone I was looking for in a Martin. I knew the playability of the Martin would not be what I had been used to with the Ovation but felt I needed more tone, the Zager has both.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Obviously, the price makes this guitar very desireable but to get so much sound projection from a guitar in this price range, the tone and projection are my favorite part of the Zager.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$2000.00

5 out of 5 Stars, I have not had any issues with the guitar but the service before and during the sale has been OUTSTANDING! It was a true pleasure to do business with them. All email question were answered within minutes.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely, it is a great company to do business with. My guitar was shipped the same day I ordered it and arrived in excellent condition with lots of extra goodies included at no charge. Oh, by the way, they also build a great guitar!
Additional comments:
I in no way wish to knock my Ovation it is a fine instruments but the Zager gives me more of what I am looking for in a guitar. Playability along with great tone.

This guitar is in a class all it's own. I can honestly say that it plays far better than any guitar I've ever owned. It surpasses even the most expensive Martin guitars I've tried in the past. The best part is that I can play for hours and my fingers don't get sore.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The playability - it's second to none!
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$2000 or more
How would you rate customer support?
The absolute best! My questions were answered promptly and Dennis, Jr. is a real professional - just like his father.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely! The reason is simple - the guitar is so easy to play. When a guitar doesn't make your fingers sore and causes no discomfort in any way whatsoever, you will keep playing and your skills will naturally improve. For beginners, they will keep practicing longer and not lose interest because of sore fingers or tired hands. You will sound better with this guitar and those who hear you play will enjoy hearing you even more.
Additional comments:
After playing my new Zager, all I can say is that I am totally blow away by this quality guitar. It is truly a world class instrument and I'm proud to own it. God bless Denny and Dennis, Jr. They are both awesome - as is the guitar!

I own a Les Paul that was purchased prior to the ZAD80ce. I wanted an easier playing guitar so I spent a lot of time at Guitar world trying just about every acoustic guitar they had available - regardless of price. Then I decided to order the Zager (no risk with their return policy) and - well the rest is history. The Less Paul is in storage.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I like the ZAD80ce for two reasons. One is the easy playing part and the other is the vibrant tone. Honestly I think my Martin sounds a litte dead compared to the Zager.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Based on what I paid for previous guitars, the ZAD80ce would be $3k plus.
How would you rate customer support?
Dennis has been extremely helpful with any issues I have had with my purchase. They alway respond promptly and take care of any problems in a professional manner.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would and have recommended Zager guitars to others simply because I think it is without a doubt the best value in a great guitar. And you don't have to worry about being left out in the cold if you have a problem or even if you don't like the guitar after a trial period.
Additional comments:
When I was much younger, I played a Fender Jazzmaster. At that time that was by far the easiest playing and best guitar on the market. I quit playing for about 30 years and when I decided to take it up again, I needed something easy to play to accomodate my short, stubby, and somewhat slower fingers. I think the Zager fits my needs perfectly.

This guitar is EASILY the best quality guitar for the cost available.The Customer support provided by Zager is something that should/could be taught in Bussiness School. Now a days real Customer Support is a myth, like a unicorn. But it definitely is alive and real with this company.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The guitar looks, plays, and sounds fantastic.For a smaller model it plays unbelievably easy, and the sound is BIG.This is exactly what I wanted. Mr.Zager definitely puts alot of time in ensuring this product is quality, and lives up to the reviews.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$800-1200 USD.
How would you rate customer support?
Every company on this planet should learn from the customer support provided from Zager. I have never been treated as good by anyone in regards to a purchase. Every question was answered thoroughly, and fast.As well as recieved my Guitar here in Afghanistan faster than any package I have ever recieved in th USA via USPS.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, I have and will recommend this guitar and purchase more in the future.

Exceptional. I've asked Dennis several questions via email, and response is always lightning-fast.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. Because of it's playability and remarkable tone quality.
Additional comments:
I'm glad I followed my curiosity and checked Zager out. I'm extremely pleased with my new guitar. I suspect that, at some point, my ZAD50 will be handed down to my son and I'll return for a ZAD80. The gifts included with my guitar were also a very nice touch. I particalarly like the picture of Denny playing my black ZAD50 before it shipped out. I'm a huge '2525' fan, and I consider it quite special that Denny actually worked on and played my guitar.

I can hardly believe this guitar. I'm so fortunate to have found you. This guitar is really amazing. This is hard to say, but I think it's even better than my stolen Martin D35 which I had for 41 years. I'm feeling alive again, lol. Thank you sooooooooo much.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Everything, so far. The intonation is perfect. I can't wait for the wood to settle. The volume is about the same as my Martin D35 and should get even better

At least $1500 or more!

I am small and petite and had purchased a Dean Gypsy which is a nice guitar, but the Travel Mahogany just fit right in my hands. It is very easy for me to hold and easy to play especially being a beginner.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
My favorite part in not having any sore fingers. I gave up trying to learn to play the guitar because I could not handle the sore fingers. Not to mention this is a beautiful guitar. Although I bought this guitar as a blemished model and got it at a reduced price which was great. You can not see the blemishes, it looks like a perfect guitar. Awesome deal!
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$500 to $600
How would you rate customer support?
The best customer service. I had some questions before buying the guitar and sent Mr Zager an email on a Saturday and literally in minutes I received a response. He also sent a follow up email after I purchased the guitar.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. Great product and great customer service.

This guitar fits me like a good suit, I just cannot hack into this guitar. It reminds me of the blues great Freddie King saying 'you have to caress it like a woman to really play a great solo' I feel the same about this guitar,I have to come to know the guitar.It sits there comfortable waiting for someone to play it. It is great for fingerpicking as it is so well balanced. I have had other expensive guitars and I spent a lot of playing time getting the overall balance.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It is like a baby, like it has a life of it's own. The workmanship has made a real musical instrument waiting to be played
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Going on what I have paid before, around the $2,000
How would you rate customer support?
10/10
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
It is a great,great guitar for so little money. That is what a pro muso thinks of. Beside the money aspect. It would stand up with the best I have owned, that is yamaha and Martin. It stands and betters a Martin as now I can just concetrate on the music.

I do not even pick up my old guitar anymore. This Zager just feels so comfortable and natural, the only time I want to pick my old one up is if I want my hands to hurt.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
So easy to play. I thought there would be a trial period in there for it, but there was no need for that. Right out of the box it was ready to go. When you get yours, plan for some time to play because you won't want to set it down. For beginners it gives you confidence to try the chords you normally don't like to.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would say right at $1000.
How would you rate customer support?
Amazing!! Immediately after ordering I got an email and I had to have it shipped to Germany so Dennis Jr. confirmed my address to make sure it would get there alright.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely! Friends of mine that play my guitar love it as much as I do and cannot believe the price I paid for it. Once again for beginners it gives you confidence to play and lets you play longer without your hands hurting.
