Possibly the last guitar you’ll ever buy. 60 years of playing, performing and teaching guitar has given Denny an advantage over the majority of guitar builders today. Denny understands the demands of the professional player because he is one. He discovered there are certain key elements that make a great guitar, and with that knowledge he created the Zager ZAD50 Series. Elements like solid wood construction, high quality hardware, a custom neck design that feels good in your hand, string spacing that allows you to move faster on the fretboard, that simultaneously prevents buzzes and rattles, combined with a special bracing system that produces one of the best sounds in the guitar industry today.

![]() | Venetian Cutaway Style A "Venetian Cutaway" is a guitar that has a section of the body "cut away" by the neck which makes it easier to slide your hand down low to reach chords near the sound hole. Denny braces the cutaways a little differently then his full box guitars so sound quality matches. If you’re a player that spends a lot of time on that part of the neck a cutaway box is invaluable. |
![]() | Mahogany Top The most important part of an acoustic guitar is its top. The top acts like a speaker. When a string is plucked energy is transferred to the top and the top starts to move. Mahogany has all the characteristics of a great tonewood; its weight and strength allow for well-defined ranges of tone as well as strong volume. It's a little harder wood with better projection and real character in the grain. It works easily and displays beautiful figure, everything from straight-grained to flamed, quilt, curl, and mottled. |

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This is a fantastic instrument. I put it through its paces for several hours over the last 2 days. Also, had a few friends try it out. The sound is bright with a warmth and depth that was surprising for a guitar in this price range. We compared it to a Martin D-16, a Taylor 501 and an old Gibson hummingbird. The sound was a lot like the Martin only a little richer. As far as playability...nothing compared. If you are looking for a really nice instrument without the really high price, I doubt you could do any better.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
What's not to like. Absolutely beautiful, plays like a dream and sounds great!
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
No bull,my Martin set me back over a grand 10 years ago. This guitar feels, plays, looks and sounds like a $1200 guitar.
How would you rate customer support?
So far a 10 out of 10. Fast responses to questions, all kinds of extras thrown in and 30 day money back guarantee. It doesn't get any better than that.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Already have a couple of friends drooling over it. Highly recommended! If you want a guitar that plays great, sounds good and looks fantastic YET still leaves you enough coin to buy a decent electric, thus is your guitar. If you like to overpay and end up with something not quite as playable...go get one the high ticket brand names.
Additional comments:
I have owned and played guitars for over 40 years! I know a great guitar when I play it. THIS is a GREAT guitar! Save some serious coin and pick one up. You will NOT be disappointed!

There is no comparing my new Zager to anything else that I have owned or played. The Zager outplays them all.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The sound and the ease of play.
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?
Well I've not really needed any support since I got the guitar but when I was trying to decide which Zager to purchase I emailed Dennis jr about 50 times. Dennis jr. Is the best. He helped me with any questions I had and I had a lot of questions.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. This guitar is so well made and so easy to play. When I took this guitar out of the box I sat down and played for three hours. No pain or soreness in my fingers at all. The sound is just as good as aged Martins that I've played and this thing is brand new. When it gets a little age on it I don't think anything will compare to it on sound.

This is the first acoustic electric guitar that I have purchased. I'm new to the guitar and have primarily played an epiphone hollow body. I love the tone and the ease of playing even with the limited skills that I've developed thus far.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It's beautiful and it sounds great.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Hard for me to say since I haven't purchased or shopped for that many guitars.

Superb.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would, but being a novice I'd be more inclined to let them try it and I'm pretty sure the guitar would sell itself.

Looking forward to continued learning and hours of enjoyable playing-thanks for your dedication to the craft.

The neck fits my hand better and the string height makes it easier to make chords without as much pressure. The strings themselves are to me smoother and feel better on my finger tips.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
First I love the look but then comes the sweet sound...
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I figure in the 1200 range as some others I have looked at but they did not play as well.
How would you rate customer support?
To this date the customer support has been outstanding...Every question I have asked has been answered very promptly and answered in a way that is easy for a beginner like me to understand...
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely...It is a quality guitar for a very good price.
Additional comments:
Just want to thank the Zager folks for their help and service. If not for this guitar I might have gotten fed up with sore fingers and quit. This has helped me to extend my practice times greatly and sped up my learning curve...

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have owned 28 guitars in my life time and had them from Gibsons, Yamaha, Fenders, Ovation, Harmony, Music man, Martins Mitchell's, Stella, & more, I still own 8 of my collection and 4 vintage which I love playing and sound great. When I received my Zad50E took it out of the case it was just beautiful, The Sunburst color is such a great finish and the smell of the Mahogany wood is very strong and fresh, Love it, I tuned it some from the long trip to AZ with the on board preamp tuner, the guitar sounded great played wonderfully up there with the very top of the line $3000.00 plus guitars that I previously own. The case has a beautiful black felt cushion perfectly cut to fit the guitar snug & Zager Logo on it which looks great also
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Well my favorite part of this Zad50E is the sound it puts out, from the very low end to the high end E & B strings just sing out, The on board Fishman 60 is one of the best that I have plugged in to an Amps and sounds great, On board tuning is quick and easy and very accurate tested it with my other tuners and right on pitch. The playability is very easy and the feel of the neck is just a perfect fit, easy and quick chord changes, just an all around great guitar to play for hours on end.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would have to rate my new Zad20E around the price range of about 1800.00 to 2500.00 dollar guitar
How would you rate customer support?
Customer service is right on and answered my emails with in minutes of any questions that I might have asked about the guitar before I even purchased it, that was a mind blower cause companies to day take days to reply if they do at all. Dennis was emailing me as soon as he received my email. That said a lot for me.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Oh I would most definitely recommend these guitars to any of my musician friends, this will not be my last ZAGER by far Planning on to purchase the 50 & 80 CE in the future to add to my collection of beauties
Additional comments:
I have been playing guitar for over 50 yrs and have played them all from low end to high end in the thousands, and this Zager is right up there, the looks the style just a beautiful finish, and of course the sound just awesome, The comfort of holding it is a perfect fit could play it for hrs and never get tired of playing it. My Thanks to Denny for a great design & Dennis for a great customer support and also can't beat the life time warranty for no additional money for insurance like on most guitars being purchased out there

I have an Ovation Ultra that from day one, needed the action lowered. The seller did not mention that, it was my first big dollar guitar so I was ignorant of guitar set ups. After years of not being able to play beyond the fourth fret, I had the action lowered. It plays better but I liken the frets to playing a cheese grater! Sound is dull. My new Zad50E is light years ahead in all aspects, playability, tone, Fishman 60 electronics package with tuner over all quality.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The tone, its so clear and rings out.

Besides it's playability, it is also a beautiful looking instrument.

I have been looking for a while to replace a Fender T-Bucket 300CE Acoustic-electric that I had purchased from the Guitar Center about 2 years ago. The Fender's bridge was pulling away from the top and created bubbles in the finish. The Fender had a harsh tone to it whether plugged into my amplifier or not. I have another Fender which is acoustic only that is one of those that I caught at Costco. The other guitars that I owned where problems with the neck cracking around the top guitar body.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
If I had to identify a favorite part about this guitar it would be everything that Denny talked about in his videos that separates his guitars from the rest. As I was checking out the different guitars I reviewed the various video that you, Denny, provided demonstrating your guitars. Denny, you held my attention into the craftsmanship you put in your design for an easy playing guitar that was comparable to the top end brand guitars; a wider string spacing to better play chords, lower string height to the fret, and a custom neck all of which you said makes for a better and easy playable guitar. Not to mention the affordability of your custom guitars. These aspects of your guitar genuinely had me sold.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
To tell you the truth, I would have expected this guitar to be in the price range of those Taylors or Martins guitars that I glaze upon in the music stores ranging from $1,600 to $2,500. Way out of my price range for a beginner/amateur.
How would you rate customer support?
Three things: 1st) I received my ZAD50E today (05-12-14) and it really looks beautiful. I handled it like a new born baby while unpacking it. The quality of the sound after some minor tuning is truly amazing, it sounded like those Taylors' that I fumble around with in the music store. 2nd) As I was being awe struck by its beauty and sound, I noticed that on the backside of the neck joint that it had a strap peg, which I forgot to mention about installing when I ordered my ZAD50E. I don't how you did it, but Thanks to you Dennis & your father for the heads-up by adding the strap peg after I had emailed you about it (after I received my UPS notification of shipment). 3rd) After playing a bit on my ZAD50E I went to check my mail and sure enough was your package Dennis (as you had promised) with a leather strap and strap peg hardware that you said you would send me for me or a guitar technician to install. Kudos to Zager guitars'!!!!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I definitely would recommend this guitar to others. I am truly counting on Denny's word about his guitars being EZ-Play. I'm looking forward to improving my skills as a beginner Denny with your EZ-Play guitar. I've knocked around through the years with simple chord progressions, but since the passing of my wife, I begun taking lessons. Somewhere through the years someone told me that with acoustic guitars you have to press harder on the strings. So that’s what I’ve been doing, which makes practicing very hard due to my fingers tips getting really sore to the point where I have put an ice pack on them. Nevertheless, after starting guitar lessons I’ve been informed that’s not the case with all acoustic guitars. But old habits are hard to break. Therefore, in order to practice more often I'm trying to avoid that by using more finesse with my fingers. So far the feel of the Zager Custom Lights strings (by Martin) are very smooth & soft.
Additional comments:
As part of the Zager EZ-Play Guitar package, I want to thank you Denny for the extra set of strings, picks and the Zager craftsmanship you have personally put in your guitars. I love my new t-shirt. And thank you Dennis for your prompt answers to all of my questions and concerns. Kudos to Zager EZ-Play Guitars!!!!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
To compare an entry level guitar to the ZAD50(e), is similar to the difference in a vending machine cup of instant coffee to fresh brewed. I own a Yamaha (F310) that was given to me, which was the best acoustic I had ever owned (and I recommend them if you cannot afford a Zager). However, with that said, the Yamaha was only good to a point where the chords (especially bar chords) became more difficult to learn. The playability, though it was as good as any one I had played up to $600, began to impede my learning. The Zager ZAD50, as set up by Denny, just took the shackles off.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Answering the question, “what’s your favorite part of this guitar" is like answering 'what’s your favorite song of all time?’ I like every aspect of this. I thought at first, before I purchased it, I hope I like something enough to not send it back. Once I opened the case and saw it, pulled it out and played it, that’s all I needed. Then I looked at it carefully and found more than enough reasons to say “Ahhh, no remorse whatsoeverâ€. That was my biggest fear, wishing I had looked around more (even though it had taken me two years already). Save yourself some time, buy a Zager.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Pricing this guitar with all the window shopping and hands on I have done to this point, would lend me to price it at $1,000.00. I was originally after a Martin, because it said Martin. There was one Martin that did play nicely at $600.00, but it wasn’t that much better than the guitar I already had. The Gibson Song Writer was flat out over priced, but sounded and played quite well in comparison to a Taylor, another brand with a little too much hype. The Zager has the sound of these big names, but plays better and is a fraction of the cost.
How would you rate customer support?
Customer support is superb. Dennis is very personable and quite frank with answers to very direct questions. I had read so many positive reviews, I looked for negative ones. Of the very few I found, a couple remarks concerned me a little. Once Denny answered my list, I could see where someone had taken a few liberties, added a little imagination and beefed them up. To the one intellectual that wrote “Buy an Esteban†all I can say is “Dude, grow a brainâ€. Oh yeah, back to the question, customer support is awesome!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would (and will) absolutely recommend to anyone looking to upgrade or (especially) when starting out, to buy a Zager. I taught myself how to grab sounds from chords on strings that sat .500" over the 12th fret, long before YouTube was conceieved. That was hard learning and few people in my life could teach me anything about songs. If you have someone that can help you, or if you have the grit to go it alone, you will save a lot of time (and some pain) if you go with a Zager EZ-Play. Scouts Honor.
Additional comments:
In summary, when it comes to making a single decision based on a sea of opportunities, I dread remorse, which is when the right one comes along right after you say ‘Final answerâ€. I am completely satisfied, remorse free and even looking forward to life a little more, with this guitar. Also, I try to write for everyones enjoyment, so if I made errors along the way, picky people can be happy too.

From what I've seen in music stores I would estimate around one thousand dollars minimum.

Yes. I'm in Florida for the winter and when I get home I'm going to show it around to my friends.The sound and quality will be all that is required.
Additional comments:
When I ordered my guitar I wanted a 50E Sunburst but there were none in stock.I received an email from Dennis Jr. stating that they had a 50 Sunburst and a 50E natural. I ordered the sunburst and it was sent the next day.Two days before I was to receive my guitar I realized that it was not a 50E (senior moment)which I really wanted. I emailed Dennis Jr. asking him if I could return the Sunburst 50 and purchase the 50E natural instead.I was willing to pay the shipping for both guitars as it was my mistake. I received an email saying that the price difference for the 50E was one hundred dollars which I paid right away. My new guitar was shipped right away and they paid for the freight for both guitars. I have my own business and have been dealing with a lot of Companies in the past years and I can't think of a single one that would offer the service that I received from Zager Guitars. I was not promised anything from Zager Guitar for these comments, it's just how it happened.

I purchased a cheap guitar online about 2 months ago, and didn't like it at all due to the fact that it was really hard to play and hurt my fingers. This is actually my first guitar. It's comfortable and feels great. I have no idea how to play yet, but I absolutely love it.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Everything!!! It looks absolutely amazing, sounds great, they (Zager) upgraded the tuner, and it feel comfortable for me. I couldn't be more pleased. When I opened the box and saw how beautiful it was, it was blown away.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would have expected this guitar to cost a lot of money. Just from the price I saw in shopping around with this quality. These guys do amazing work for half the price.
How would you rate customer support?
Dennis Jr. was always in touch and would response almost immediately to any questions that I had about the guitar. They upgraded my tuner, and added the strap for me at no extra charge. I want to scream for the mountain tops how happy I am. Really, these guys are doing something special.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Most definitely! From the beginning, everything went smooth, and this guitar is off the chart. I am so proud to have the ZAD50E as my first guitar. I love it!!!!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have 3 other acoustic guitars. One is my beloved Ovation which was a gift 30 years ago. It plays like butter and sounds great. It`s model number 1612. The only problem I have is the rounded back keeps slipping off my lap when I play. I`ve tried everything to stop this, but the only way to keep it from slipping is to use a strap all the time. My new Zager looks, plays and sounds just as wonderful as my Ovation, and of course, doesn`t slip off my lap. The action is nice and low, and the sound is rich and full. The finish is beautiful, and the electronics were upgraded to the Fishman 60 at no extra charge. The guitar with the original Fishman 10 was not in stock and the Zager`s didn`t want me to wait since I already paid for it.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
If I were to pick just one favorite part about this guitar, it would have to be the setup right out of the beautiful case it was shipped in. The action and string height is perfect! It plays so easy (hence the name)and sounds full and rich. Usually, when a guitar has low action and a tad lighter string gauge, the sound suffers a bit and is not as bright. This guitar is absolutely sweet sounding and can be played loud or soft with no buzzing or tone loss whatsoever. The tuners, finish, and electronics are all quality as well, and this guitar sounds fantastic plugged in or not.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would gladly pay $1500.00 to $2,000.00 dollars for this guitar after I played it and saw for myself how comfortable and perfect it feels in your hands or on your lap. The finish is deep and not a single flaw anywhere. The stitched hard case is a steal even if I paid $150.00 dollars for it (which I didn`t). It was half that!
How would you rate customer support?
Customer support is impeccable. Every time I emailed Danny, I received a response within the hour. To me, the service you get, and the professionalism to which I was given, is as important as the product itself. This is the first company I`ve dealt with, where I felt like I was the most important person in the world. When my particular guitar wasn`t in stock, I was offered the exact same one that had upgrades at no charge. I asked if they sold straps, and Danny graciously threw one in for free.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would highly recommend buying your next guitar from Zager. It`s kind of risky buying something like a guitar without actually playing it first for 50 minutes or so. Not only does it have to look like a quality product, but it has to feel and play like it`s part of you. The more comfortable and natural it feels, the better you will play. You can buy other guitars that are setup at the factory for general playing, but the setup on my Zager is like I paid extra to have it setup perfectly just for me. That`s because of Denny`s years of expertise and experience. He sets up and test plays every guitar before it`s shipped. I even have a picture that they sent to me, showing Denny with MY guitar in his hands being played and tested.
Additional comments:
Don`t be fooled by the negative things that people can say on the internet. Do your homework. Look at the guarantee and pride that company`s put into their product. Look at the customer service. Read and see for yourself all the satisfied (and some very well known people)are saying about the product. You can`t please every one. How can anyone offer a full, money back guarantee, including shipping, if you don`t like it, and stay in business? This decision is a no brainer.

I own 10 guitars, The #1 guitar is a Martin HD28. The ZAD50e is rated #2. Beautiful sound and easy to play.

My favorite part of this guitar is the low action. I do a lot of finger picking so I like very low action. I adjusted the action in 2 minutes with no buzzing.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
In the past I've paid a lot more for lower quality guitars.

On a scale from 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, I rate the customer service 12. Try calling Martin or Taylor and see if you get imediate response like Zager. With those companies, you would have to wait till the year 2525, LOL.

I would absolutely recommand this guitar for beginner or expert. I have been playing guitar for 50 years and have owned a lot of guitars and I have never experienced better customer service than with Zager Guitar.

It's the finest guitar I have ever owned or played. Best sound, best action and it is such a beautiful instrument to look at. I've played Martin's, Taylor's, Yamaha's, Takamine, etc...this is better than any one of those brands, in my opinion. Seriously.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Difficult question; it's looks, sound, playability. Everything is top notch. The tuning pegs are fantastic. They lock in and stay there. Best tuning pegs I've ever experienced. Changing the strings and cleaning/polishing it are so enjoyable, to me anyways.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
At least $1,200.00.
How would you rate customer support?
Second to none. Dennis, Dennis Jr and Jill all communicated with me, and very quickly. There was a unique shipping problem with my ZAD50E and it took almost 50 days to arrive. They did everything in their power to correct the situation. I can't ask for more than that. An external factor, that was absolutely no fault of Zager guitar co. Their customer support with me was awesome, and very much appreciated.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, and I have been since the day I picked it up. Every person who has played it loves it. I tell them the web page and company name, and explain they should seriously consider purchasing one of these guitars.
Additional comments:
My forte is playing drums. I'm a simple rhythm/campfire kind of guitarist. I don't practice leads, scales, arpeggios, solo type stuff, and that's fine with me. Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Zeppelin, Eagles...whatever. It's easy to play (basic chords), that stuff and it sounds so clear and pure on this Zager. I've had it since September 21st, 5013. I haven't played guitar for 12 years prior to buying this beauty. Guitar is simply a fun side thing for me to do and I have never enjoyed playing more than I am now. I had to wait a few months to submit a fair review on it. It's the best guitar I have ever played, and I hope to but a higher end Zager model in a year or two. My best wishes to all at Zager Co. Thanks so much for producing such an affordable, amazing instrument. Sincerely, Dwayne Robertson.
