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 ZAD80 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.

Zager Pro Series guitars play a little easier and sound just a little more powerful than our regular series instruments.   The woods are aged longer.  The finish is applied thinner so the sound board moves half a millimeter more when the strings are hit providing a deeper bass response.  Each piece of abalone and pearl is laid by hand and in combination with gold grover tuners that “pop” to the eye on the red cedar finish.  Most customers buying our 80 Series are touring artists and veteran musicians coming from high level Martin, Taylor, Santa Cruz and Gibson.  Unlike our 20 and 50 Series guitars that use spruce and mahogany giving them a punchy bright character, the 80’s are constructed using East Indian rosewood and red cedar giving them a deeper, richer, more mellow response.

Denny wanted only the finest electronics system for the 80 series so he called Larry Fishman at world renowned “Fishman Transducers.” Fishman’s new Aura Digital Sound Imaging System allows you to download thousands of sound images directly from the Fishman online library that have been professionally mixed in Fishmans multi-million dollar recording studios. You can select from images mixed specifically for your Zager as well as thousands of others depending on the sound you’re looking for. Denny used to spend countless hours in studio time dialing in the perfect sound for his guitars. Fishman’s Aura Image Gallery Software (included) does this for you by allowing you to select from thousands of images in their online library that will give you the sound you want no matter what you’re looking for and downloading them onto your guitar via USB cable. Read the reviews, talk to the pros, and you will see this system dominates every guitar electronics package on the market today.

Players using the ZAD80CE AURA Pro Series say it matches or betters $3500 instruments, but with easier playability and a lower price since you’re buying direct from our workshop in Lincoln, Nebraska. Be sure to read artist comments and magazine reviews on the 80 as it consistently rates in the top 5% of acoustics made world wide. 100% money back guarantee including shipping fees both ways. It’s a lifetime instrument so it comes with a lifetime warranty.  Truly a work of art with a stunning sound that will get better year after year.

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.
guitar top cedar
Western Red Cedar 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. Cedar is softer than spruce, and that softness translates into a sense of sonic warmth. Cedar guitars sound warmer, deeper and slightly richer. Used on only the highest quality acoustics in the world.
See full build sheet
guitar back sides rosewood
Indian Rosewood Back-sides
One of the most popular and traditional guitar woods of all time. Where mahogany lends itself to the midrange, rosewoods sonic profile is deeper in the low end. Not to take anything away from mahogany as many players will find it difficult to tell them apart, but the dedicated ear will notice a deeper, richer, sweeter tone coming from a rosewood guitar. Many players don’t know that cedar is one of the few woods that can outperform spruce when paired with rosewood which is why Denny uses a Western red cedar top with Indian rosewood back and sides on his 80 series guitars.
indian rosewood headstock
Indian Rosewood Headstock
Indian rosewood is commonly found on high-end guitars. This wood is heavier and more dense than mahogany and also is very stable and resonant. East Indian Rosewood is dark brown with sometimes purple-brown streaks giving a pleasant figure. The guitar head stock configuration is a registered trademark and is used under license from C.F. Martin & Co. Inc. of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, USA.
travel size solid electric guitar
Mahogany Headstock
Mahogany is lightweight yet strong, and its timeless look is used on many quality guitars. The guitar head stock configuration is a registered trademark and is used under license from C.F. Martin & Co. Inc. of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, USA.
guitar brace work
Zager Design (Hand Scalloped) Bracework
The technique of scalloping or shaving the braces can have a huge impact on the power and tone of an acoustic guitar. By shaving or reducing the thickness of the brace, it becomes more flexible and therefore lets the top move more freely. When done by a Master Luthier the brace maintains its structural integrity, while making the top more efficient. The result is faster attack, longer sustain, more bass, more power, and an overall improvement in the whole tone system.
guitar inlay
Full Abalone Inlay Inlay
Abalone inlay is found on only the highest quality guitars. Laid by hand one piece at a time, the color and translucence of each piece changes with different amounts of light. Not only does it add to the overall look of your guitar, but it also adds to the value. Our 900 Pro Series guitars have an inlay rosette around the sound hole in combination with inlay around the entire face as well as small cross fret markers going up the fret board
guitar fret crosses
Pearl Cross Fret-markers
Used on only the highest quality guitars. Laid by hand on the fret board one piece at a time. It's a very tedious, time consuming process but the results are breathtaking
Zipper Stripe Back-detail
Laid by hand one piece at a time. Adds to the overall beauty and sets off the color of the wood. Found on only the highest quality guitars in the world.
high gloss finish
High Gloss Finish
High-gloss finish provides excellent protection but at the same time is extremely light and elastic. This is a crucial point in both the sound of the guitar and its ability to age—which is what makes a guitar sound better year after year. A thick finish muffles a guitar's vibration and blocks aging.
guitar truss
Custom Adjustment Setting Truss-rod
Denny designs his guitars with a truss rod adjustment setting that allows you to dial in your guitar to your particular playing style. In this way if you're a heavy handed player you can set the action higher so you can "get on it" a little for more power, and if you're lighter handed touch player you can dial in the action low so you can move faster and play longer with less fatigue.
guitar transducer
Genuine Fishman Built-in-transducer
Fishman transducers are the highest quality transducers used in acoustic guitars today. A transducer is an amplification device placed under the saddle which allows you to plug into an amplifier and play an acoustic guitar like an electric guitar. This is all run by an on-board electronics package and equalizer that allows you to control the sound. A transducer properly installed by a pro luthier will bring out the bass response and rich ambiance of your guitar's wood. Done improperly your guitar will sound flat and have uneven tone quality.
Guitar Presys
Genuine Fishman Built-in-automatic-tuner
Ask any pro who makes the finest guitar electronics systems in the world and 9 out of 10 will say Fishman. An electronic tuner allows you to tune your guitar in a fraction of the time it takes using conventional tuning methods. Simply hit a string and the LCD indicator guides you into perfect pitch. A red and green light instantly lets you know when the tune is dead on. This is a very important tool for the new player who is trying to develop and train their ear for perfect pitch. It's also helps the professional player who wants to get in perfect tune fas
Guitar Presys
Genuine Fishman Built-in-equalizer
Fishman equalizers are the highest quality equalizers used in acoustic guitars today. The equalizer is an electronic unit that controls the sound and volume when plugged into an amplifier or PA system. There are adjustments for highs, mids, lows, and presence. Fishman EQ's are used exclusively on high end acoustics by artists such as Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Alan Jackson and Aerosmith to name just a few.
guitar grover gears gold
Genuine Grover (gold) Tuning-machines
Genuine Grover sealed tuning machines are found on only the finest guitars made. Look at tuners on $2500+ acoustics and you will see the majority have "Grovers." Unlike open gear tuners where the tuning mechanism is exposed, Grover sealed tuners contain a lubricant that keep the tuning mechanism sealed air-tight so the gears turn smooth and continue to for the life of your instrument. Lifetime warranty. If you have a tuner go bad we'll replace it free of charge for life.
guitar nut
Bone Hand Carved Nut
Denny hand carves his nuts from bone for each guitar so the strings are set lower with custom spacing. Lower string heights make it easier to press down to form chords and it also increases finger speed. Custom spacing allows you to move faster with less buzzes, mutes, and rattles because you’re no longer bumping adjacent strings. Custom string spacing makes it easier for all hands sizes big and small. Lifetime warranty. Break a nut and we'll replace it free of charge for life
guitar saddle
Tusq Hand Carved Saddle
Denny hand carves each saddle for each individual guitar. Denny also adjusts the intonation settings to bring the guitar harmonically in balance with itself. This not only makes your guitar easier to play, but it also makes it sound more powerful. Customers say our guitars fall into tune easier and stay in tune longer...this is one of the reasons why. Denny uses only genuine "Tusq" brand saddles on his guitars which you generally only find on higher dollar acoustics . Lifetime warranty. Break a saddle and we'll replace it free of charge for life.
zager ez play guitars
Zager Custom Lights Strings
Zager custom strings are designed by Denny exclusively for his Guitars. We have customers using all brands and gauges of strings on our guitars with excellent results (Elixir, Martin, Fender, Gibson, D'addario) but these are the strings our customers seem to like the most on our guitars. Hand wound daily in our shop in Lincoln, Nebraska.
frets
Zager Soft Touch (Hand Filed) Frets
Denny hand files each fret one at a time on every guitar that leaves our shop. By filing the frets Denny achieves two important things. When sliding up and down the neck your fingers will no longer get irritated and sore and you won't suffer from what we call "String Bite" and overall finger fatigue. Secondly, when you file the frets by hand each fret will have the same uniform height. 9 times out of 10 when you have a buzzing string it has nothing to with your playing, it’s because you have a guitar with a fret that’s sitting away from the fret board hitting a string.
life time warranty
Lifetime Warranty
Our warranty is simple. Lifetime on all guitars. A quality guitar should be made to last a lifetime and if it doesn't it wasn't a quality guitar to begin with.

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.

Additional comments:
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?
The Zager guitar is equal to any premium high-priced guitar that I've personally seen and played. And it is superior to most. The only guitars that could compare aer very high priced Martins.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The SOUND! That tone is wonderful! And the playability. Simply unmatched.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1,800.00.

How would you rate customer support?
Denny and his son Dennis are first rate. They respond to your questions (even if they are dumb questions like mine) and give you real information, not just a sales line.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. Price and playability. To get this playability would cost 3-4 times as much from major guitar makers. The Zager is everything they say it is and more.

Additional comments:
What more can be said? If you are a beginner, this is the perfect way to start playing guitar. If you are experienced, this guitar will give you all you want in a performance instrument.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have a 1971 Epiphone Classical Acoustic which I had been learning with, before I bought my Zager, I went to my local music store and tried a Martin, It sounded great.....it was also $2500.00! Couldn't do it.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It sounds gorgeous, clean and bright... but warm at the same time,and it is truly a beautiful guitar. I took it out of the box and it felt right the minute I sat down with it. It stays in tune.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
It feels and plays like the $2500.00 Martin I tried out. My fingers don't get sore with my Zager unless I play all day.

How would you rate customer support?
AWESOME!!!! I had a lot of questions, received lots of advice, very patient and helpful.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
astounding value for money. tone, touch and texture are really excellent

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
ease of fretting (old arthritic fingers!) and the tone/sustain is so well balanced allowing a wide range of styles to sound clean, fresh and with just the right depth. The set up was near perfect and I've never been more comfortable playing a guitar right 'out of the box' as it were.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
at least twice the price - in the range of $1000+

How would you rate customer support?
This is the best I have experienced. Receiving the guitar feels like the beginning of the relationship with Zager Guitars rather than the end of a purchasing process

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Totally - service and quality are exceptional,

Additional comments:
I bought an 'entry' level model but I'd be happy gigging and recording this without demur. Next year, I will be getting a high end model and I know it will be as good as you can get - and then some.

Model: ZAD-20E Black

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Black Zager model 50e. Can not get over how easy it was to play, and how good it sounds. High quality fret board and fret work ensure smooth fingering all the way up the neck. Clean notes/chords above the 12th fret and beyond thanks to the cutaway design. Good harmonics. Absolutely no hand fatigue. Appreciate the high end Fishman onboard electronics (tuner was a nice touch). Solid construction, Grover machine heads, tasteful inlays all add up to a very nicely appointed guitar.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Playability is outstanding, and sound is way beyond what you might expect in this price range.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I think this guitar compares favorably to other acoustic/electric guitars in the $1000 - $1200 price range. If you are in the market for a solid performer without the huge sticker price, you have to take this rig for a serious test drive.

How would you rate customer support?
Second to none. Personal correspondence with Denny Jr. and Denny Sr., prompt and honest.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes. It's an outstanding value. These are the type of people who are in business for the right reasons. They want you to be able to get a guitar that is in your price range that plays great. Very difficult to find anything out there that would compare at similar prices.

The Zager is much more playable then my Takamine. As a new guitarist I found the playability to be so much easier and forgiving.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The guitar looks and sounds so much like many of the more expensive guitars on the market that I like to fool my friends and family into thinking I paid much, much, more. Then when I tell them what I actually paid they just react with amazement.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$800 - $1,200

How would you rate customer support?
Outstanding. I danced around the purchase decision for a while and Dennis was always available to annswer all of my questions.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, definitely. The look, sound, feel and playability would suit players of all levels.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Compared to my recent past guitars which was, an Ovation USA Legend Model, the Zager Guitar is by far the more user friendly guitar in both playability and sound. I play soft ballad type music with a semi finger picking style and the mahogany that was used in my Zager ZAD50 gives me a very clear but soft almost mellow tone, not to mention how beautiful the wood grain is that it almost sparkles.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It was a hard choice trying to decide which model Zager to purchase but the appearance of the ZAD50E Mahogany and reading the reviews about that model sold me. The sound is even more pleasing then I imagined. I believe it actually makes my guitar playing better.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I know what I paid for my Ovation and I would have thought had I played the Zager first that it would cost more than both of those but it was close to being half the cost.

How would you rate customer support?
It seems that both Dennis and Denny are putting every effort they can into pleasing their customers both with the quality of the product and the service they provide before and most important ***AFTER*** the sale.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would almost not want to recommend this guitar to any one so I could be the only one to have it but like the Mona Lisa everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy a Zager. I know they wont be disappointed. I would also recommend that along with the purchase of the guitar of your choice you also buy the case, it is wellworth the price and really first class just like the guitars.

Additional comments:
It is so refreshing that in a time when it seems that many companies are lowering the quality of thier product but raising the price you can purchase a Zager Guitar and still get the best of what craftmanship is all about.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have owned mid-level acoustic guitars all my life, including Ovation, Takamine, Alvarez, Fender and Epiphone. This is by far the best I've owned, and probably the best I've played, and I've "window shopped" many times, trying out dozens of Gibsons or Martins.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It's difficult to pick out one thing, but I guess it would have to be playability. With every other instrument I've owned, it always seemed like I was fighting the guitar (or vice versa). The Zager has a smooth, breezy feel. It's more a partner than an opponent. The best way I could describe it is like a knife through butter. But everything else about the guitar is top-shelf also. The sound is tremendous and it stays in tune. Another thing: I was blown away by the case I purchased with this guitar. It is of the highest quality, and in my opinion has a value at least twice its cost.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would say $2,000 to $3,000.

How would you rate customer support?
So far I haven't needed any, but I can tell from my pre-purchase experiences that Zager is truly a musician's company, and keeps its customers up front and personal. I have no doubt that if and when I need help I will get it with no problem.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. Once you own a Zager, you'll never have a desire to buy another acoustic.

I have two other guitars, but this impresses me more than the other two when it comes to ez playing.the electronics is really good and I don't have to carry a tuner cause there is one on guitar. the workmanship is suburb. the neck is more user friendly andand I highly recommend this guitar to beginners and pros alike.

The ease of playing , the tone,and the perfect construction. this is truly a beautiful instrument.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
After looking at a lot of guitars I would estimate it to cost 1000.00 to 1200.00 dollars

How would you rate customer support?
customer support is second to none. email them and ask questions and find out for yourself.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
yes I would , and already have.

If you are thinking about a new guitar, you owe it to yourself to check them out or better yet ,buy one and see for yourself. If you don't like it send it back. 100 percent guarontee.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Thats an easy question. The similarityis that they had six strings and were CALLED guitars. The current one that I'm replacing is made by Global (made in Korea) that I picked up on sale years ago.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
That's very hard for to answer because there is so many top attributes that fit in my favorite catagory, but if I had to choose only one, it is the way that it plays so easy. The fret height and string spacing are a tremendous difference from all the others that I've tried. Running a close second is the incredibly rich sound.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
From what I have been looking at in a music guitar store, I would place it among their top of the line sellers for acoustic/electric guitars, which is from $1500 to $2000, to get close to the same feel and sound.

How would you rate customer support?
In my short time dealing with Dennis and Zager Guitar I would like to say that the support and advise were excellant, timely and made me feel that they really cared what I thought. They treated me more like a friend than a new customer.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would not hesitate to recommend Zager Guitars to anyone that I knew was looking to get the best guitar for their money. It is truely an investment, and made in the USA.

Additional comments:
I was also pleasantly surprised when I saw the Zager Guitar case. It realy is remarkable and has a digital humidity/temperature indicator along with its high density construction. I didn't expect something that sturdy. I'm looking forward to my free guitar lesson which I also did not expect. If I lived closer to Zager I would take lessons in person.
