How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have a Crestwood Acoustic/Electric Cutaway which is no comparison to Zager guitars! Blows my old one out of the water and considering i've played some of the top of the line guitars in Guitar Center. Higher end Martins. The ZAD50E out performs the pricey ones I played and just so stylish.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The shiny sleek look and the sound so bright and clear. It just feels so great in your hand!
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1000-1600
How would you rate customer support?
A perfect 10 out of 10
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, and I have already spread the word! Regardless if you're a Beginner or Professional guitar player these guitars will be best in price and better in quality for your money.
Additional comments:
Thank you Denny for your amazing guitars you build! Keep up the great work! ZAD80CE is next on my list ~God Bless

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I like my Yamaha FG-441S, but this is a completely superior product. As soon as I picked a few notes, the tone and sustain on this guitar was wonderful.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I think I'm in love. The action, machine head gear ratio, the finish, tone, sustain, all perfect.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I've never owned a "high end" guitar, so I can only say that this 80ce is far superior to any other guitar I've owned. I currently have 4 other guitars - Ovation Celebrity Deluxe, Godin LG electric, Godin Fretless Acoustic A5 Bass, and Yamaha FG-441S.
How would you rate customer support?
Prompt, helpful, generous, dedicated. (I am a computer technical support provider since 1988, so I know when I'm getting good support.)
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Definitely, because it sounds great and is obviously very high quality.
Additional comments:
Just think about this if you're thinking about buying a Zager: In the box is a whole bunch of stuff like a free lesson, several picks - not just one, an extra set of strings, and even a custom made card on the neck to warn about possible string buzz from shipping, and what to do about it. A digital humidity meter is in the case. I am truly blown away by the product. I love giving good support to my customers, and obviously, Dennis, Dennis II and Jill love doing what they do as well. I am motivated to write these words out of appreciation for the product, by the way. I have never talked to or met these folks before.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
The Zager blows my takamini away. It's easily comparable in looks, sound, and playability to a friends Martin, and another's J-45 Gibson. I love my ZAD50E.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The craftsmanship. Which makes the tone, sustain, playability, and looks so topnotch.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1500.
How would you rate customer support?
100% (The best I've ever seen anywhere in retail sales)
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Oh ya! I already have. Looks, playability, tone, customer service, price. I believe you actually get more than you bargained for.
Additional comments:
I can't say enough on how much I love this guitar. I spent over a year locking for a new accoustic. I tried many top line modles. Gibson, Martin to name a few. I said I would never buy a guitar without playing it first, but with Zagers guarantee, all money back, including shipping, how could I go wrong. I'm so thankful that I found Zager Guitars. I Wouldn't go as far to say that this is the last guitar I'll ever buy, I can say it would be the last one I would ever sell. Thanks again Denny.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This Zager is much easier to play and the sound is great.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The guitar is wonderful on its own, but the support and lessons are both satisfaction pluses.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I do not know.
How would you rate customer support?
I have had a rapid response to any questions I have submitted.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes. The ease of playing is a big plus with this guitar. But even more important is the teaching method that Denny employs and the rapid progress that comes from using his technique and practicing as he describes.
Additional comments:
I received this beautiful guitar in April and resisted the impulse to instantly produce a review. Now I have had sufficient time to learn, practice and play and I am joining the numbers of very satisfied customers who are proud to show and share their guitar whith friends.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My ZAD50 plays far better than my Yamaha F36S, Oscar Schmidt and, Blue Ridge and others I was test driving when I ordered a Zager.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I could say the tone, some brightness and some mellowness, a trait of Mahogany that I like, or the overall finish, or the quality of the fret work, or maybe the dimensions and fit of the neck. Then again, how easily it plays may be a favorite. It would be easier to identify what I don't like; I don't like that I waited until May 5012 to buy one. Imagine all the hours of painless playing enjoyment I have missed.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
This is an opinion thing of course. I would place the ZAD 20 easily in the $650 to $950 range.It is certainly superior to several guitars I played in that range and definitely equal to the best of them. Denny offers a quality guitar at a player's price.
How would you rate customer support?
Can't beat this. The warranty and guarantee is top notch. Add to that quick response from Dennis and staff, even accomodating my rambling retired lifestyle so the guitar arrived while I was home to receive it.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Sure I would recommend a Zager. The guitar will make a good player sound better but more importantly, a new player can concentrate on what he or she is learning rather than how much their fingers hurt or the dead or ringing strings. Their are two sources of problems with students; student problems and guitar problems. Denny has eliminated the guitar component. Addendum: Zager has my support also because of the school music program. Good!
Additional comments:
Good, a spot I can ramble in. I started playing at 11 years old; I am 64 now. I was playing in a group by 13. By 18, I was physically suffering from the stresses of performing and all it entails. I joined the military and quit playing for the next 40 plus years. 3 years ago I pulled out my old 12 string and played again. It was a good thing to do. Now one last comment on the ZAD50. Pulled it from the case and examined the guitar. Looked at the neck relief and string height. Hmmm, looks higher than I expected. but, Denny set it up so I will give it a go. Get This! No finger tension moving up the neck. Fingering was easy. Go figure that. On my Yamaha, that would have been painful. And the final stroke of wonderfulness, I played bar chords all the way to the 12th fret and not a single dead string or tinny ring. A perfect set up Denny! I don't know how it was done but I am truly impressed. The only reason I will ever part with this Zager guitar will be to buy another, guaranteed.

Quality is superior at even twice the price I paid
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It is well balanced, the tone is wonderful and it is easy to play, just like they advertise---- and looks like a million bucks!

Best there is, one on one and all emails answered right away.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
They exceeded my expectations in all areas that would make a consumer confident the item they purchased is a quality product. You can actually talk to someone, see the instrument and play it. If you don't like it, they will take it back...but seriously, if you sent it back it would be because you are tone deaf and partially blind.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I purchased the ZAD-15 in 5005. I found the sound to be as good if not better than my epiphone and gibson guitars. The quality of sound and easy playing neck is the best I have heard right out of the box without setting it up. No setup needed. Great action.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The E-Z play feature. It's true the easiness of playing this guitar is by far the best feature to me.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would pay at around $300-$400 for this instrument.
How would you rate customer support?
I have called to ask a couple questions about strings and I received an answer within hours. I am totally rating the customer support at 100%.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I have indeed recommeded this guitar and the website to fellow musicians and had them play this guitar and they were amazed by the full rich sound and the easiness of play.

This guitar is easier to play and sustains perfect pitch longer than the guitars I am used too.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The neck. It is very easy to wrap my hand around, yet the finger board has plenty of space to finger chords accurately.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1500-$2000
How would you rate customer support?
Flawless. Very fast response time.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I always recommend my Zager. I think name recognition is the biggest stumbling block to others when buying a guitar. Most people I talk to never heard of the Zager Guitar, and are to lazy to research and compare the Zager's quality control to that of a factory mass-produced product.

My name is Jeff Gater and I purchased the ZAD80 CE Model guitar last year. I am very satisfied with the guitars playability. I am 52 years old and have not played the guitar seriously for 50 years. I believe the Zager guitar has made my entry back into playing guitar easier and very rewarding. I appreciate the workmanship of this fine instrument. Other guitar players who have tried my Zager are very impressed. Non-players always comment how beautiful the guitar is. Most Sundays I am in our church praise band backing-up the lead guiyar player. The on-board tuner and playabilility of the Zager, along with the resonating lows help me apreciate the music I am producing and play with confidence.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This guitar is easier to play and sustains perfect pitch longer than the guitars I am used too.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The neck. It is very easy to wrap my hand around, yet the finger board has plenty of space to finger chords accurately.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1500-$2000
How would you rate customer support?
Flawless. Very fast response time.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I always recommend my Zager. I think name recognition is the biggest stumbling block to others when buying a guitar. Most people I talk to never heard of the Zager Guitar, and are to lazy to research and compare the Zager's quality control to that of a factory mass-produced product.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I've played a lot of guitars... been singing and writing for over 40 years. I've owned Matrins, Guilds, and Ovations, and played a few of the high-dollar Larrivees... the Zager 50ce sounds every bit as good, and played much better than any of them. The only guitar that even comes close is a friends $4000 Martin; close, but not cigar.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Picking a favorite is hard; I've always been about tone, and the tone is superior, with a huge dynamic range from finger-picking to full on, booming strums; even chords that are strummed forcefully are clear as a bell and ring like a grand piano. It's amazing to me, that a guitar that plays so easily could be as loud and dynamic;
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I'd estimate it at $1500 - $2000, and that's conservative; I've put it head to head with some guitars in that range, and the Zager was the clear winner.
How would you rate customer support?
In my day job, I work in a call center; we're the only telecom company to have won the JD Power award 4 years in a row; I know and expect customer service, and Zager never disappoints; they have, hands down, the best customer service I've ever seen.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would definitely recommend this guitar, and frankly, any guitar Zager makes. I've had the guitar for less than a week, and I think I've already sold two more to a couple of friends.
Additional comments:
I have to truly believe that anyone who has the funds to buy a Zager, and buys something else should have their heads examined!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Amazing. Right out of the box my new Zad 50e sounded as seasoned as my thirty year old Blue Ridge and real close to my '61 Martin0018.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Immediate playability. Make that easy playability. Have to remind myself it's not necessary to fret so hard.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Somewhere in the 7-8 hundred dollar range.
How would you rate customer support?
Great. I had questions before making my purchase and, like every other question since, it was answered in depth by Dennis.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. The sound, playability, looks. And if you still don't like it, send it back as the have a generous guarantee policy
Additional comments:
Can't wait to spring the "Black Beauty" on my mates, next jam session. I had been laid up for weeks and so had ample opportunity to research my next guitar. I was going to buy an acoustic electric. There are thousands out there. But I only found one place, Zager, that would guarantee my satisfaction. This is the only outfit on line that I would trust when making a sight unseen guitar purchase. It arrived earlier than promised, there were no unpleasant surprises only unexpected good ones. They make you feel like their only customer. They remind me of days long gone when a small outfit took pride in their work, put their name on their work and stood by it. My only problem is how to stave off the urge to buy the Zad 50ce.

There is no comparison between this guitar and other guitars that I've owned or played in stores. The quality of instrument for the price is unbelievable!The more I play it the more I want to play it.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The playability of the guitar is the first thing that stands out. You can play notes with ease that previously would have been challenging. It makes you want to practice ! Also, the sustain of the notes and chords have to heard to be believed!This is quite simply a beautiful guitar.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
1500 - 2000 dollars
How would you rate customer support?
Exceptional! Dennis Jr was very helpful and patient when answering questions. He really makes you feel comfortable when purchasing the guitar, especially as you are purchasing a guitar that you have never played.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely, it is a pleasure to play, look at and listen to!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My old guitar is nice but compared to the ZAD80CE there is no comparison. The Zager is beautiful. My old guitar was no nearly as easy to play as the Zager. I don't have to press down, like a vise, on the frets to get a beautiful sound. Speaking of sound the Zager is much better. There is something about the neck; it seems thinner so I can get my hand around it easier.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The ease of play and the sound, not to mention it is a beautiful.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would estimate this guitar to be in the $2500 range.
How would you rate customer support?
In every instance my questions were answered promptly. The Zagers are top notch in this area.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would recommend this guitar to everyone, especially beginners. The ease of play, and sound, are just great.

For the dollar you just can't get a better quality, easy playing, beautifully sounding guitar.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
At or near the top. Very much a novice guitar player so not a great authority on the subject but plays and sounds as good as or better than anything else I have ever tried, and I have picked up a few higher end Martins before that I was quite impressed with. In my opinion Zagar guitars can absolutely compete with those for way less money.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Tough question...so many fantastic qualities...I guess it would have to be the fact that they play so nice.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Probably about a grand.
How would you rate customer support?
So far absolutely fantastic!!!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely...probably THE best guitar buy out there.
Additional comments:
I could only afford to buy one of the "slighty damaged" discount guitars that Dennis sells, but after I recieved it I e-mailed Dennis Jr. and told him that it was obvious that Zagar Guitar Co. takes great pride in their workmanship, and me being in the machine shop business for almost 40 years that was something that was drilled into my head at the early stages of my career that can only lead to success, so I lived by that fact ever since, and the fact that Zagar Guitar Co. has that attitude , along with their almost unheard of fantastic customer support can only mean a top rated business.
