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 OM Size AURA Pro Series say it matches or betters $3000 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.
- Smaller “OM Size” Orchestra Model. 15% smaller than full size. Similar to Martin OOO and Taylor Grand Auditorium. Narrower hour glass shape sits lower in your lap making it easier to pull in close under your arm. Thinner body provides a slightly thinner sound but doesn’t overpower mics in the recording studio.
- Solid wood construction sounds better every year as it ages.
- Venetian cutaway box design allows you to slide down low into the box for easier playability.
- Fishman’s new AURA Digital Sound Imaging System that 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.
- Built in genuine Fishman transducer system allows you to plug into any amplifier or PA system and play it like a full electric guitar.
- Built in genuine Fishman automatic tuner system tunes your guitar perfectly in seconds and if you’re a beginner actually trains your ear for perfect pitch.

- Hand carved bracing for greater movement of the soundboard providing a richer sound.
- Slim neck design feels natural in your hand making it easier to form chords.

Features
 | OM Size Dimensions Height: 40 inchesBox length: 19 inches Waist: 9.75 inches Widest bout: 15.5 inches Depth: 4.25 inches Scale: 25.5 inches |
 | om Top |
 | 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. |
 | 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. |
See full build sheet
 | Mahogany Neck Mahogany—one of the most popular tone woods used on acoustic guitars for the last 50 years |
 | 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. |
 | 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. |
 | 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 |
 | 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 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. |
 | 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. |
 | 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. |
 | 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 |
| 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. |
 | 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. |
 | 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 |
 | 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 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. |
 | 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. |
 | 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?
This guitar is sooo much easier on my fingers. I've already developed callouses from other guitar, but even still it hurt if I practiced longer than 35 min. I wish I had had this guitar from the start. The tone and sound of this guitar is beautiful. My other guitar sounded "tinny". This one is rich. Not to mention how beautiful this guitar is! Solid wood-gorgeous, abalone inlay, choice of woods, and the high gloss finish, which I personally like. I love the built-in tuner. My other guitar didn't have that so I had to buy a separate tuner. All told, a beautiful guitar.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The ease of play. The action is good and easy on the fingers.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I have not looked at the price of many guitars. Mainly just some of the Martins and this one was less expensive than the Martin I had kind of decided on, so I know, for one similar to this, I would have to estimate this guitar would be twice the price it is. I was telling my guitar teacher, who is 19 yrs. old, and just bought a new Martin, and his mother about Zager guitars and their company and their service and she said,"Wow. What did THAT cost you? She had just recently purchased that Martin guitar for her other son and she couldnt believe it when I told her.
How would you rate customer support?
Let's just say I don't know any other company ANYWHERE that can even come close to competing with this company in customer service. I mean that sincerely. I deal with a lot of companies and have never been treated so much like I matter. First of all, when I was considering ordering my guitar, I emailed with questions and help to choose which one for me and, I got answers back almost immediately. I'm talking minutes, not hours or days. They emailed me after I ordered thanking me for my order and the next day it went out. Without going into detail, let's just say that when I received it I, due to my naivety and lack of experience did something that was my fault and was really upset at myself. I emailed Dennis to tell him what I had done and he told me how to resolve it and the next day I took care of it and all was well. That night Dennis emailed me and said for me to send the guitar back because they weren't sure why this happened. I said no and he insisted. It actually did make me feel better. The next day they had already sent the new one even though I hadn't gotten the first one to UPS yet. Who does that? I received the new one in 4 days and am so very happy! What a company!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, I have already and will continue to do so. I would say to all beginners to get one of these guitars before you get anything else. I know practice would be so much easier and you will be more likely to keep it up.
Additional comments:
Nothing more to add really. I think I've about said it all. I guess one more thing: I am even more impressed by the fact that someone like Denny Zager, with celebrity status, would show this level of care and concern for people and their love of playing guitar enough to make such a beautiful instrument at a price where most people can afford and not do it just for money is a testament to his character and sets him apart! Thank you!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have had Mitchell, several Ovations, several Ibanez acoustic elecrics, and an Ibanez Semi electric. Only the Ibanez semi Electric comes anywhere near the playability of this guitar. The action is excellent and it is by far the easiest Acoustic, or acoustic electric guitar I have played
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The playability. the action is excellent, and the more you play it the better it sounds
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I have no idea I just know that it is by far and away a great improvement on any other acoustic electric that I have played. But I am far from an expert to judge prices
How would you rate customer support?
Outstanding customer support. It couldn't be delivered in the soft case that I paid for , so I was compensated with a hard case at a later date. On top of this I was kept abreast of all that was going on. They even supplied another set of strings, a tee shirt a certificate of authenticity and Denny Zager signed the guitar himself. I can't say enough good things about this company.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
This is an excellent guitar for a novice/ less experienced player like myself because you can spend so much more time each time you pick up the guitar to practice, and the more it is played the better it sounds. I would recommend this guitar much higher than any other guitar I have played.
Additional comments:
This is only the second new guitar that I have bought. At first I thought it sounded just ok , but after having played it for a day and retuning it 3 or 4 times it improved. After days and weeks of play it neede to be tuned less, and the sound really started to come out of this guitar. I truly was impressed, the more I played the better it sounded, probably due to practice and confidence as well as a great guitar, but that is what this guitar gives you!

I don't play guitar, but my boys do. I have had the guitar playing in my home for 10 years, I have purchase 3 Zager guitars and nothing sounds like the Zager! Not only is it a beautiful instrument but it also has an incredible sound. The best part is seeing the smile on my boys faces when they open their new guitars. My oldest boy serves in the Marine Corps and I shipped one to him last Christmas when he was stationed in Africa, nothing says "I love you" like receiving a Zager guitar when you are far from home! He loves his zad50ceom, as it is much easier to transport through airports as he travels alot in the Corps. My younger son received the zad50sunburst for Christmas and not a day has gone by that I haven't heard him playing his guitar. I love having these guitars in my home!

You can't even compare this to any other guitar in its price range in any store. It wouldn't even be a fair argument for any other brand. This guitar is light years ahead of anything you'll find at a store. Easily could retail for 1,000 to 1,500 at a guitar shop and still be a good value. After comparing it to a few Martins owned by a friend who collects, I think it's safe to say that he was blown away as well, and see a Zager coming his way in the near future.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It wouldn't do this guitar justice to narrow my favorite aspect down to just one. It's beautifully crafted, sounds incredible, and just feels so natural in your hands.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Minimum 1,000 bucks
How would you rate customer support?
It's refreshing not to be transferred off-shore or to run through some pain staking automated process. A++
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes!! Everyone wants the most for their dollar. Not only are Zager guitars reasonably priced they are hands down better in every category compared to other makers that are even 3 times the price. I'm not one to usually take the time to write costumer reviews of any kind, but this guitar truly blew me away.
Additional comments:
If you play, all I can say is do yourself a favor and pick up of of these beautiful guitars that fits you best. You will not be disappointed. & if for some crazy reason you are, well they'll take it back, no questions asked.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
my ZAGER zad50 is a very playable and full bodied sounding instrument. from the first strum i was captured by the overall balance of both the highs and lows of the tonal spectrum. i also own two vintage ALVAREZ acoustics that also sound great but they both have the same sound favoring the low end tones and neither one of them have as low of action making them more tiring to play for extended periods. my new ZAGER zad50 has the most comfortable neck i have ever encountered on an acoustic..not too thin but just right for wraping my hand around. im able to effortlessly make chords ring out with no buzz and more importantly no hand cramping. a very natural feeling guitar to play!
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
the most favorite part of my zad50 has to be the effortless playability of the neck. it just feels like it makes your hand happy and in turn sounds so good you just wanna keep impressing yourself and play more. chords have never been so easy to make sound so full of rich tones..i love it!

knowing what ive paid for my other acoustic guitars i would expect the zad20 to cost at least twice the asking price. with the "no risk" deal DENNY has offered its just silly not to order one, play it, love it, and see for yourself its the best deal going for all of us players.
How would you rate customer support?
i have never been subject to such a great company. i was expecting a reply to my email to DENNIS to be a day or two wait at least. wrong! ten minutes and all my questions were answered by a very professional DENNIS ZAGER himself..not an employee who gets paid to sound like they care. thanks to DENNIS for that because to me that really matters and in my opinion shows how much ZAGER GUITARS as a company cares about their customers.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
i would recommend ZAGER GUITARS to anyone from beginner to actual gigging guitarists. ZAGER has a full line of guitars from modest to full on contender for the title.
Additional comments:
i will continue to play my new ZAGER with pride and cant wait till i can afford to order ZAGER's top of the line work of art. thanks again to DENNY, DENNIS, and all of the ZAGER company employees who make these guitars available to working class folk such as myself who can now afford top quality instruments!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
my ZAGER zad50 is a very playable and full bodied sounding instrument. from the first strum i was captured by the overall balance of both the highs and lows of the tonal spectrum. i also own two vintage ALVAREZ acoustics that also sound great but they both have the same sound favoring the low end tones and neither one of them have as low of action making them more tiring to play for extended periods. my new ZAGER zad50 has the most comfortable neck i have ever encountered on an acoustic..not too thin but just right for wraping my hand around. im able to effortlessly make chords ring out with no buzz and more importantly no hand cramping. a very natural feeling guitar to play!

Easy to play and stays in tune.

I would expect to be over $1000.00.

I haven't had any issues with the quality. Correspondence about a delayed delivery for the case was excellent.

Yes, It's a great value. I have made quick progress since it is easier to play.

This is the first steel string guitar I have owned. I always wanted one but was put off by the difficulty in getting used to the hard steel strings and the finger pain involved. I was impressed by testimonials stating that the action of Zager guitars was very light and That they were much easier to play. I found this to be no exaggeration; I could play my ZAD80 right away with very little finger pain. My ZAD80 is beautiful, beautifully made and beautiful sounding. I can't stop telling my wife and friends how much I love it.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I love the tone of my ZAD80, but I must admit that what I love the most is its overall appearance. The fine construction, attention to detail and wonderful finish that Zager has lavished on this guitar are the equal of guitars I tested that were three times as expensive.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would easily have thought this was a three or four thousand dollar guitar.
How would you rate customer support?
Dennis Zager has been a big help in my decision to buy this guitar. All my emails are answered quickly and accurately and he hjas tried to accomodate all requests. You find out very quickly that these people really care about their customers.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
This is a no-brainer. Anyone, amateur or professional would be very happy with my ZAD80.
Additional comments:
In my experience, it's very rare in this day and age to find a company that not only produces a superior product, but has such outstanding customer service - they know how to keep a customer happy and coming back.

My first guitar was a Martin and I sold it on Ebay. It was a good guitar but made my fingers so very sore as a new learner. Then I bought an Ovation, this also was a very nice guitar but again I just could not get past my fingers being so sore. All this time I watched your videos and looked at your guitars on the internet and finally I sold my Ovation on Ebay and purchased the Parlor. It was perfect. This guitar played so great that I got right though the sore fingers. I can play and play and enjoy it so much.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
With the sizing chart on your website plus I asked Denny questions which he helped me so much, I bought the guitar (Parlor) that was the perfect fit for me. It was as if it was made just for me. I had alot of trouble holding the strings down and had the worst time "dudding". But with my Zagger I dont do that anymore!!! It was amazing that I was playing the way I always wanted to. I am just learning and this wonderful guitar is everything that the website said it was. I am truly having fun playing. It is well made and beautiful.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I bought the Mahogany Parlor and I would have thought this guitar would have cost 1,200.00 as I played a Martin Mahogany that cost 1,400.00 at a guitar store and my Zagger is every bit as good as that Martin. I only paid 375.00 and it is worth a whole lot more.

You could not ask for any better customer support. Over the past year I asked many questions and every time I got a answer within the hour. Also I loved watching the video that Denny done all about the Zager guitar. There is tons of information on the website.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
You bet I highly recommend Zager Guitars. I bought my guitar it was to come with a soft case but I got an email telling me that they were out of the soft cases and instead sent me a hard case with my guitar, you could have knocked me over with a feather that the Zager company would have done that. Years ago companies went out of there way to help there customers but you dont find that much anymore and here THEY did it. WOW!!! This is awesome. I have told everybody I know about how great my guitar is and I truly believe that if you would play it just once you could not put it down.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My first guitar was a Martin and I sold it on Ebay. It was a good guitar but made my fingers so very sore as a new learner. Then I bought an Ovation, this also was a very nice guitar but again I just could not get past my fingers being so sore. All this time I watched your videos and looked at your guitars on the internet and finally I sold my Ovation on Ebay and purchased the Parlor. It was perfect. This guitar played so great that I got right though the sore fingers. I can play and play and enjoy it so much.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
With the sizing chart on your website plus I asked Denny questions which he helped me so much, I bought the guitar (Parlor) that was the perfect fit for me. It was as if it was made just for me. I had alot of trouble holding the strings down and had the worst time "dudding". But with my Zagger I dont do that anymore!!! It was amazing that I was playing the way I always wanted to. I am just learning and this wonderful guitar is everything that the website said it was. I am truly having fun playing. It is well made and beautiful.
