- Full Size, Solid Sitka Spruce/Indian Rosewood, maple binding, abalone and pearl inlay.
- Fishman AURA Sound Imaging system (highest rated in the USA)
- Our deepest, richest sounding guitar…15% more power than our 80 Series.
- Buyers of the 900 are coming from Martin D45, Taylor 9, Gibson Hummingbird
If you demand the best this is it. When we have a customer come into the shop with a $5000 acoustic who’s looking for that type of quality and sound but with easier playability, the 900 is the only guitar we go to. Unlike our 20 and 50 Series guitars Denny uses a special bracing system on the 900 that allows the face to move half a millimeter more giving it more projection and power. When you hit a string on the 900 you feel it resonate through your gut. There’s very few guitars today that can do this, especially new guitars, and when you find one it’s usually the price of a small car. Read more
Zager Pro Series guitars play a little easier and sound 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 in combination with gold Grover tuners that pop to the eye. Most customers buying our 900 Series are touring artists and veteran musicians coming from high level Martin, Taylor, Santa Cruz and Gibson. Denny did extensive testing in designing the 900 and sent it to veteran players and artists around the world who put it up against the finest guitars made. Pros say the 900 outperforms guitars at twice its price point (sometimes more), but playability is easier and price is less than half since you’re buying direct from our workshop in Lincoln, Nebraska versus retail stores.
Denny wanted only the finest electronics system for the 900 series so he called Bob 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.
Be sure to read artist comments and magazine reviews on the 900 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.
- Full size dreadnought the most popular guitar size in the world.

- 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.

Features
 | Dreadnought Size Dimensions Height: 41 inchesBox length: 20 inches Waist: 11 inches Widest bout: 15.5 inches Depth: 4.75 inches Scale length: 25.5 inches |
 | 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. |
 | Grade A Sitka Spruce Top Top Sitka which is known for its strength and durability comes from the Northern coast of British Columbia up into Alaska. It tends to have a warm pinkish/tan hue to it. Spruce offers a tight, punchy low end response with great projection. Players who demand a powerful sound with tons of projection will hear the benefit of a Sitka spruce top. Used on only the highest quality acoustic guitars in the world. |
See full build sheet
 | Indian Rosewood 900CE 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. |
 | Hand Bent Figured Maple Binding Figured Maple binding is not only beautiful to look at but it also protects your guitar from bumps and nicks in daily use. Found generally on guitars exceeding the $2000+ price point. |
 | Mahogany with Inlay Neck Mahogany—one of the most popular tone woods used on acoustic guitars for the last 50 years. Complete with hand laid contrast inlay. |
 | 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 |
 | Figured Maple Inlay Back-detail This accent matches the guitars figured binding and abalone inlay perfectly to give it that extra expensive look of a pro series guitar. 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. |
 | 2023 Fishman Aura Pro Electronics Denny wanted only the finest electronics system for the 900 series so he called Larry Fishman at world renowned "Fishman Transducers." Fishman's new Aura digital imaging system allows you to plug into your computer and download hundreds of sound images that have been professionally mixed in Fishmans pro recording studios. You can select from images mixed specifically for your Zager, or hundreds 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. Fishmans new imaging system does this for you by allowing you to select from images online that will give you the sound you want no matter what you're looking for. Read the reviews, talk to the pros, and you will see this system dominates every guitar electronics package on the market today. |
| Genuine Fishman Aura 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 fast. |
| Genuine Fishman Aura 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?
As much as I love the Guild I've been playing for the last 27 years, there's really no comparison. My new Zager plays easier, it's lighter, and the sounder is crisper and far more resonant. The sustain is far beyond that of the Guild.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
How surprisingly light it is for the amount and quality of sound it produces.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I'd guess in the $1500 to $2000 price range.
How would you rate customer support?
The customer service is unsurpassed. Dennis answered every question I asked him, no matter how trivial, within minutes of my emailing him. He directed me to the right place on the Zager website if the answer was to be found there and was very, very patient with my persistent and many emails.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
For all of the reasons I stated above and because we should all make music! This guitar is perfect for beginners because of how easily it plays. It's also perfect for the most seasoned pro, who will be able to get amazingly beautiful tones out of one of these babies!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I was looking for a good guitar for my daughter, I was about to buy her a $1500 - $5000 Martin. Her #1 is a Luna guitar that sounds pretty good. She did confirm that the Zager does play easier and sounds better than her Luna. She said it is her new #1 now. I'm planning to get her a ZAD900CE one day.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I'm happy my daughter likes all aspects of the guitar. She really wanted the Mahogany and the ZAD50 was a good choice.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I'm not good at pricing, but I would have thought it could go for at least $900 - $1000.
How would you rate customer support?
Great!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, and I already have. I think it's a good deal on a good sounding guitar.
Additional comments:
To me it's a deal that will be hard to beat. Easier to play, good price, great sound and seems to be great quality so far. I love it. Shipped quickly also.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have always played Ovation and judge the others by my 70's model. The face, of course, cracked and had to be reglued but it plays as well or better than the Martin or the Gibson I own. The Zager plays as well as my old Ovation but has a more mellow "woody" sound which I like. The string tension seems less and I don't need to press down so hard on the Zager.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I have the Zager Parlor and I enjoy the 12 fret neck.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$500- $600

Customer support is the best I have ever seen or heard of.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Being a "newbie", I'd not had much experience with many different styles of guitars so my opinion was not tainted by nostalgia, allegiance, or habit. I simply took the guitar out of the case and played it to see if it was as vibrant and reactive as the reviews said. I had fully planned on returning it if in any way deviant from the reviews. Well, to the contrary, it was magnificent. The sound is so rich in both the high and the low tones. The middle ranges stand their ground as well! Now, I stop in guitar stores just to see if any guitars at similar price points come close. They don't and it makes me smile!
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The undeniable ease of play is my favorite "feature" of the zad80ce. It is, without question, easier to play than any other guitar I've yet sampled. The little things that Denny's Easy Play technique change result in having a much more enjoyable time playing. Especially for beginners but for anyone frankly. I mean why not play a better sounding instrument that is ALSO easier to play. Just makes sense...
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Seems to play like some of the $3500.00 guitars out there (and up...). I don't know who would buy those though if only they'd try a Zager zad80ce first!
How would you rate customer support?
Quick responses to my questions and a complete 100% money back guarantee. Can't really ask much more than that from any company.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely!!!!!! I would only ask that a person try the Zager zad80ce before trying another guitar. It will sell itself if they'll only try it!
Additional comments:
I love this guitar. I've got a long way to go till I can play to its potential but it's nice to know I won't "outgrow" it any time soon. A real beautiful instrument from a great company!

Ease of play is second to none including Takamine, Ovation, Adamas, and Martin. The craftsmanship compared to any of the Martins I've played and exceeds most that cost three times what Zager sells for. The tonal quality is superb with clear and resounding lows, and the mids and highs are crisp and clear. The sustain is remarkable!

Besides being gorgeous, it is so easy to play.

First, I have never played professionally, only for myself, However I have had a Kaye electric, Wurlitzer base, Sigma Six-String and a Sigma 12-String accoustic currewntly. Due to an injury four years ago to my wrist, I hven't played the 12-string and am planning to sell the guitar.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I'm sure I will find other things that impress me, but the quality of the wokmanship and the sound emitted from the instrument.

Hard for me to say, but I would say just from appearnace it is equal to or superior to Martin guitars that I am very familiar with. These guitars begin at around $1,200.00 and go up from there.
How would you rate customer support?
Everything was done quickly and efficiently throughout the processing of my order thru the delivery be UPS. Even after delivery, I emailed to say the guitat had arrived and was answered almost immeditely, thaankning me for the email.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Having not played the guitar. I woul;d have to wait and see to be sure. I do know the beauty of the guitar and after jusr trying a few chords; I will have to learn to place my fingers a little differently, but wih much less pressure then others played before.
Additional comments:
Hoping to have success with the guitar in the very near future. The photo is of my wife and I in Galway, Ireland. She passed away this last April and I think returning to the guitar will aid in my grieving her loss.

First, I have never played professionally, only for myself, However I have had a Kaye electric, Wurlitzer base, Sigma Six-String and a Sigma 12-String accoustic currewntly. Due to an injury four years ago to my wrist, I hven't played the 12-string and am planning to sell the guitar.

This guitar is great! The sound is as good or better than more expensive Martin's. It has nice electronics for this price range too! My old guitar was an Ibanez pf and this guitar makes that one sound like nails on a chalkboard.

Because it is so easy to play and sounds so good, you just want to play it all day long. Practicing has never been easier! On board tuner is great too!

In most instances the sound of the Zagers is superior. The playability is far superior.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The set-up and the action on both of my Zagers are my favorites. They are better than on any other guitars I have tried. Denny has spoiled me with his work and care.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
ZAD-50ce est. $1500 to $1800. ZAD-90ce est. $4500 to $5500.
How would you rate customer support?
Customer service and support has been 12 on a scale of 10. Dennis and Denny have been extremely responsive. As noted above the work done by Denny on the guitars is superb. On customer contact, Dennis is always available and responsive. Dennis responds to any and all inquiries on a very timely basis. All of my questions have been answered in under an hour. The Zagers are always happy to help and to insure customer satisfaction.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I will gladly recommend Zager to other. The quality and value for money of the Zager guitars cannot be topped.
Additional comments:
Two members of my family are professional musicians. Both of my brothers-in-law have Martins. Neither of them could believe the tremendous quality and the great playability of the Zagers.

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.

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.

I have not tried very many. Compared to my other acoustic, it sounds great and is much easier to play. It is also beautiful.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It sounds great, but the ease of play actually brought joy to me.

Excellent. Every email I sent answered promptly, was kept informed and taken csre of.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Very much so.
Additional comments:
I am really a beginner. I am 50 years old, have big hands and fingers. I always wanted to learn to play, and a couple of years ago I bought a guitar and took a few lessons. The difficulty I was having forming the chords with my big hands and I guess age related flexibility caused me so much frustration I quit. The biggest culprit was the A chord. I just couldn't get my three fingers on the adjacent strings in the same fret easily, and then I heard the buzzes and flat notes a lot of beginners are familiar with. It made changing chords to play a song impossible. A few weeks ago, I started practicing again and actually seemed to be getting somewhere, but the same difficulties arose, so I decided to look for a new guitar. I don't remember if I read about Zager first or saw it on Ebay, but the EZ-Play system sounded like what I was looking for. I read reviews and testimonials and decided to take the plunge. As soon as I received the guitar and took it out of the box, I played the dreaded A chord. I formed it without struggles and strummed, then picked. All the strings rang out and no buzzes. That moment alone has made me a satisfied customer. I strummed a few songs almost good enough to play in front of someone else. I am very happy. I can't talk very knowledgeably about action, fret height, etc. I am a very raw beginner. But I love to hear guitars and in the short time I have had my Zager I have enjoyed playing more than I ever have.

I have a 60's Gibson Hummingbird, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan and your guitar sounds if anything, superior. It's not as sharp a sound as the Gibson, more mellow, probably the difference in spruce and cedar, but I like it better for my "folkie" type music. Even though I had the Gibson professionally set up, custom nut and saddle, the Zager plays easier. I also play a Larrivee twelve string. Both the Gibson and the Larrivee are first class instruments, but in no way better than your unit.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It has a unique feel in the way it plays. I also like its mellow tone, and it is so easy on the fingers. The quality and woods are also outstanding.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
At least $2000.00
How would you rate customer support?
Best ever.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would recommend it to anyone wanting to purchase a quality instrument on a budget. I have compared it to a Martin (which I was considering before finding the Zager). Your quality is better than the new Martins. My opinion is that the big name makers, (Martin and Gibson) are now making their Guitars based on Business School principals of marketing, and losing the craftsmanship that made them great. I know a company has to make a profit, but it is a fine line of providing a quality item at a reasonable price. Zager has found it!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Well, it's incomparable :-) I have no old, other, or store-tried guitars in my life.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The quality of craftsmanship and the feel and size (OM) of the guitar. I'm still working on building calluses (week 2), so E-Z play or not, my fingertips are tender. However, if the action were any higher I'd be really discouraged, so I guess I also appreciate the action. My friend with the Martin D-28 tried out my new Zager and said it played easier than his Martin. So, there you go.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I truly do not know, but apparently at least half again what I paid for it.
How would you rate customer support?
Superb. The best I can remember in decades. Almost instaneous responses to e-mails, answers to questions, and kind considerations -- always sincere, friendly and accommodating.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. Because of its quality, value for the cost, and most-excellent customer service.
Additional comments:
I just started accessing the lesson library, and am duly impressed with all the contents and opportunities for me to learn online from Denny about the guitar and how to play it in the year ahead.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My new 50CE has a warm yet bright tone that really sounds great unplugged. The playability of this guitar makes it hard to put down. In fact, I am finding myself looking for ways to bring it everywhere I go if I think I will have time to play it. I presently own a Takamine EF-349 all mahogony body guitar as well. This Zager is very similar to the sound of the Takamine. I can't say I like the Zager 50CE sound more, but it a very warm and bright sound that makes it a pleasure to play. However, as advertised, the Zager Guitar is much easier to play, has more room for my fingers resulting in almost no string buss ever, and as others have stated, my fingers are feeling better since I have been playing the Zager. I have been playing the Zager now for about 2 weeks, around an hour a day and I am really enjoying this new Zager.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The fit and finish is really incredible and the sound is great as well.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$800 to $1000. But the support and personal attention of the Zager family makes it worth much more.
How would you rate customer support?
A++++++. I could not be happier.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I already have recommended it to all my friends. It's getting a lot of attention at church. I am so looking forward to playing it on stage tomorrow for the first time.
Additional comments:
I have never had a music company go to such lengths to earn my business. There will always be instruments out there that sound better and you will pay for it. But I can't say enough about the response I have gotten from Dennis Jr during this purchase and to me this makes the purchase so much more of a value. If you are reading this and you're undecided, take my word for it, you won't be disappointed by their guitars or the personal service that the Zager Guitar Company gives you. And the risk-free money back gaurantee makes the decision even easy for you.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I've owned some very high end guitars - from Fenders, Martins, Guilds, and a custom made Frank Gay and I'm as impressed with my Zager as anything I've ever owned or played. I've only had the guitar a short time but I love it already. It is in the top 3 guitars I've owned and I've no doubt it will quickly take over as #1.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I love the ease of playing the most and I'm really impressed by the beautiful tone that it delivers.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
It is right uo there with a Martin D28 in the $2800.00 range.
How would you rate customer support?
So far the support has been unbelievable. I've appreciated all the info I received and the contact I've had with Zager Guitars.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I'm going to be bragging about to everyone of my guitar buddies. The ease of play, the sound, the service and the exceptional value are going to be my highlights.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Thanks for everything.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
As a mainly electric guitar player, I've never really had a good acoustic guitar. But just as with a good electric, when you pick up this guitar, you can tell it is high quality. Originally I wanted to get a vintage MIJ dreadnaught. I stumbled on to your site and after hearing and reading about these guitars, I decided why not get a brand new guitar instead? I made a good decision.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It's got to be the sound! So warm yet punchy at the same time. It sustains forever. Using a flat pick, you can hear wonderful overtones from each note that you pick.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Probably around $1000 to $1,200?
How would you rate customer support?
Good so far. No complaints. The lifetime guarantee and the full return policy tells me that this company believes in and stands by their products.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I already have recommended Zager to a couple of my friends. The quality you get for the price... how can you go wrong?

I am so happy that I found your website. I look forward to many years of enjoyment with this guitar.
