If you demand the best this is it. When we have a customer come into the shop with a $5000+ high dollar 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 and in combination with 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 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.
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.
- 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.
- Built in genuine Fishman equalizer system gives you infinite sound possibilities allowing you to dial in the perfect sound.
- 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.
- Custom string spacing for greater speed and accuracy (and less rattles).
- Zager soft touch fret design for less string bite and finger fatigue.
- Adjustable truss rod to raise or lower action depending on your playing style.
- Special ultra thin high gloss finish allows more movement of the body for deeper sound
- Hand carved bone nut and saddle. (Found on predominantly $1500+ guitars).
- Hand laid abalone inlay rosette with pearl fret markers.
- Ivory binding detail and zipper stripe down back (Found in predominantly $1500+ guitars).
- Genuine Grover tuning machines (best in the world).
- 100% money back guarantee

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 |
 | 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. |
 | 2025 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?
My husband has a mini strat, Fender stratocaster,Ibanez, Hammer,Johnson and a 1983 Electric/accustic and none of them compare to the sounds, tones and ease of the Zager.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
the size and ease of the frets
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
2,000.00
How would you rate customer support?
on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest 50. While conversing using e-mail my e-mails were responded to within minutes. and the guitar was here at the time promised!
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
i would recommend this guitar to any serious musican. And to any student who is just starting out. Our daughter is taking guitar in school and if she sticks with it a Zager is in her Christmas future.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
The quality is awesome. I have a good 3/4 Travel but this 50CE is great. I have looked at other guitars in music stores that are much more expensive. THE Zager offers much more for your money. It looks good, it sounds great and the feel is so comfortable and easy to play.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I don't know that I can pick just one thing. Sound, feel, look and definitely quality.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
A LOT more expensive!!!!!
How would you rate customer support?
Unbelievable. And I really mean that. I know from seeing it first hand that if a customer is not completely satisfied he can return the guitar. In the case of my friend, he did this twice. There was no problem at all and he finally found the Zager he wanted. I was convinced by the customer service to order mine.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely! And without any reservation at all. You can not find a better deal. More for your money in terms of quality of workmanship and beauty of appearance. The sound is clear and full, and it feels so good in your hand. I just love my guitar. I even named mine. It is now a member of the family. :-)
Additional comments:
I also ordered the case and I am very pleased with it. I am so glad to have my guitar protected. Thank you also for the prompt response to any inquery I had and ansering every question. It is something that I doubt you would find with any big company.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Two years ago I tried to learn to play I resourced "Best Beginner Guitar" I was referred to a Fender CD140SCE. Problem was I could not play any longer then 15 Min. before my fingers hurt and become sore so I would stop for a week or two. Then try again.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The playability I have had my ZAD50CE since Feb.8 for the past three days I have played ovver two hours a day. My wife keeps telling me I'm sounding better each day. She also has compared my guitar to others she tells me she loves mind.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
At one point I did look at Martin's at our locale Guitar Center hoping a more expensive guitar would make the difference. I would say twice the price would be about right.
How would you rate customer support?
I can not believe how great you have been with all of my questions. Jill is outstanding, she returns my emails within minutes. You really should let her go home for a rest! I have emailed early in the morning and late at night, she is always there! I have read your web site testmonials about the follow up, but now I can say I'M a believer.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I have,along with my friend. We have become walking bill boards for Zager Guiter. Last weekend we attended a church service with many guitars, all makes and models. We where the stars of the night!
Additional comments:
I just signed up for the online lessons. Since I have not made much progress with my Fender I now want to move faster in my playing.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
If I compare The ZAD50CE to my Martin.I'd say my Martin would edge my Zager in looks. Having said that The ZAD50CE is a lovely looking guitar that can only be appreciated fully by seeing it in person.Playability wise the Zager is the easiest playing acoustic ever and sounds full and balanced.This means I can play longer and still enjoy that complex and vibrant tone that only comes from a high end acoustic.My Zager just outperforms My Martin period.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It's hard to pick between playability and tone.It has a nice fast neck which I love and the tone has the ability to transport the performer to another level.(If I don't dig the tone.I don't dig the guitar!)I love the fact that after you stop playing,the top just keeps vibrating.All elements are in harmony with one another.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I've been on a mission to find a guitar like this for quite some time and have tried many different guitar's in the process.The ZAD50ce's price cannot be beat and I think you could get at least double the price for this guitar.(between $1200 and $1500 at a big ticket music store)
How would you rate customer support?
Like I said previously,I bought one of Zager's discounted guitars.It had a long crack on the upper bout.Just before shipment Jill from Zager informed me of some additional cracks near the electronics.She sent me pictures and I decided to go through with the sale.upon delivery I noticed the cracks had grown and sent an email to that effect.Jill informed me that they most likely worsened due to the harsh climate up here in Canada and sent me a confirmation for an additional discount.Now that's customer support.Prompt reply after the sale!They want their customers to be happy foremost.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes I will be recommending this guitar to anyone who'll listen. Why? Because it sounds great,plays great and looks great at a price that just cannot be beat
Additional comments:
The people who work at Zager obviously have a passion for their art and that really comes through in their guitars and their customer service

My Zad50CE is the only acoustic I own. It plays as well or better than my friend's Martin.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
My favorite part about my new guitar is the brilliant sound, and the ease of play. And it's not heavy to hold in your hands.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would estimate the price to be in the $1,000.00- $1,200.00 range.
How would you rate customer support?
So far, Customer support, and patience with the customer is the best.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I already have recommended the Zager guitars to friends and co-workers. Quality and price is the reason. And Your 100% money back guarantee.
Additional comments:
I have played electric guitars most of my life. I own a Fender Stratocaster. My friends would sometimes ask, "Why don't you own an acoustic guitar?" I could never give them an acceptable answer. I always wanted a good quality acoustic/electric guitar. But, I just never thought I could afford a decent one. I heard an advertisement on the radio one day for Zager, and I went to your website. I got a good sale price, and, My new Zager has brought me joy to play guitar again, as I cannot play loud amplified music anymore due to hearing disorder.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
See above.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
My wife loves the tone of the guitar. Whether it's plugged in or not, it has great vibrance and tone.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
With the pickup and the strap pins, I paid double for the Blueberry. I'm not knocking Blueberry, for it is a worthy, artistic instrument. But I'll stick to the Zager. Incidentally, the Gibson 12 string back in 1969 cost about $600.00
How would you rate customer support?
Excellent. You guys deliver. The case with the temp and humidifor is first rate. All the perks that came with the guitar are top notch.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I already have. From beginners to accomplished guitar players. The luthier at the Guitar Center in Rochester, NY, who installed the second strap pin was very impressed.

With the pickup and the strap pins, I paid double for the Blueberry. I'm not knocking Blueberry, for it is a worthy, artistic instrument. But I'll stick to the Zager. Incidentally, the Gibson 12 string back in 1969 cost about $600.00
How would you rate customer support?
Excellent. You guys deliver. The case with the temp and humidifor is first rate. All the perks that came with the guitar are top notch.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I already have. From beginners to accomplished guitar players. The luthier at the Guitar Center in Rochester, NY, who installed the second strap pin was very impressed.

My zad50ce has a sound so rich and brite. Holds it's own with guitars 3 to 4 times it's cost.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
This guitar would easily compare to $1500 to $2000 intruments in workmanship playability and tone.

What little I have need them has been responsive and friendly, but in two years, my zad50ce has performed flawlessly.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This guitar is leaps and bounds better than my other Guitars. It is my go to guitar, and my others are now collecting dust. The action is spot on, no buzzing, the sound is Rich and full, and it is very easy to play. I can play it for hours, without feeling like I have.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The action on this guitar is perfect. Zager have a way of setting up these guitars, that makes them easy to play, and delivers amazing sound. If you are just learning, or are an experienced player, you will appreciate the ease at which this guitar can be played.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
When shopping for a new guitar, I tried out several guitars ranging from $700-$1800, and I would say this guitar plays and sounds better than all of them.
How would you rate customer support?
Zager customer service is amazing. Before purchasing, I had several questions, that were answered almost instantly by Dennis Zager, jr. He gave me all the information I needed, and assurances that if I didn't like it, I could send it back, at no cost to me. They take customer service seriously, and deliver.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would recomend this guitar without reservation. It is my favorite guitar, and I tell anyone who will listen, about how much I like it. Everyone that I know who has come over has used it, seems to agree with me, and are amazed at how little it costs compared to other top of the line guitars. It's sound, low action, and build in tuner make it a joy to use, and it is a guitar that can be used for long periods of time without your hands getting tired, or sore. That, and the amazing customer service make buying this guitar a no-brainer decision, if you are looking for a nice new guitar.
Additional comments:
I have read some of the bad comments about this guitar and the Zager company, and honestly do not understand where they come from. As a guitar player, and owner of a Zager, I can say the quality of the guitar, and the set up done by Zager is all to notch, and I just don't understand why some people put this guitar down. I would suggest any serious guitar player (or for that matter, any beginner) try it out. I think once you play it, you will be amazed at its sound and action. Dennis Zager, jr and his father have an amazing product, and are a great American company, that deserves respect in the guitar world, for providing a great product, that anyone can use and enjoy. while experienced players will love it, I think this is one of the best, if not the best guitar for beginners, as the action on this guitar makes it easy to learn, when starting out. However, this should not be seen only as a beginners guitar, as even us older players can enjoy the sound and playability this guitar has to offer. I want to thank the Zagers for producing a great product. I hope this review helps, and if you do order one, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I\'m 54 years old and didn\'t really get into playing the guitar until about 4-5 years ago. I wished I had started earlier, but I was into art and painted paintings for about 50+ years. I grew up listening to my dad playing his dad\'s Martin D-28, so I know a good sounding guitar when I hear it. My Zager guitar Zad-50 CE plays so easy. Your fingers don\'t get sore. I love my zad 50ce. My goal in the long term was to by myself a d-28 Martin, but didn\'t want to put out about $2500.00 to $2800.00 or even more. Since I have bought my Zad50ce, the desire to purchase a Martin D-28 or any other acoustic has left. I believe my ZaD50 \"SOUNDS EVERY BIT\", as good if not better than a Martin. As a matter of fact, the guy I play guitar with has a few high dollar Gibson\'s and I think my Zager sounds as well as any of them $2500.00 + guitars. On Zager\'s customer service, they will get back with you quick. O\'h let me tell you, you have no problem purchasing one and and chance loos

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have a $600 Yamaha, a $550 Ibanez (both acoustic electric) and a $650 12 string Washburn that plays beautifully. While I like each of these for certain reasons, they have not stood out when playing with friends. Who wants to keep switching guitars for different types of music? My friends have Martins and higher quality guitars. I wanted one that could play many types of music and play it both easily and with high quality. The ZAD-50CE blew me away. The sound was as good or better than the Martin's I've played and heard and we all know that Martins have pretty much been the standard of guitars when comparisons are to be made.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
My favorite part is the ease of playing. I literally can't put it down. I have 3 electric guitars (and a mandolin) and while each have their place, I've found myself grabbing the acoustic the greater majority of the time.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I frequent local guitar centers to play as many different brands and styles of guitars (and to listen and learn from other players) regularly. Before I pick up the guitar to get a feel for it at these guitar shops, I always look at the price and usually, the ones I like most are above the $1500 price tag. I'd love one of these but I am a reasonable and responsible person and as I can't let go of that kind of cash. I think that the ZAD-50CE could easily fetch $1200 maybe even $1500 and it sounds like a $2500 Martin in this person's mind.
How would you rate customer support?
I own a small business and have been told hundreds of times how fast I respond to emails and returning calls. That's easy since we are a small company. I know Zager isn't huge but they are certainly larger than my company and the 4 times I've emailed, the longest time it took for a response was under 1 hour. I think anything in 8-12 hours is exceptional so under 1 hour is not something you see in today's world. And, these are canned emails either. They are in direct response to the question.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I have already recommended Zager and dare someone who is looking to buy a new acoustic to try Zager after trying anything within $500 of the price of a Zager. I am sure that more than 90% of the time, they'll end up with a Zager.
Additional comments:
I almost feel guilty playing this guitar. It now feels like a part of me....an extension of my body. It's that effortless. I'm sure this a very strong statement and probably not everyone who plays one will feel this way. Maybe my other guitars were very bad (but I don't think so) but I am now going to be very spoiled playing anything else. And when I let someone enjoy playing my guitar, I won't be far away to make sure they don't walk off with it.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I own a Martin HD28V a Gibson B25 and a Fender F35. This guitar is by far the easiest to play and the sound both acoustic and electric is superb. The silky smooth Grover tuners and the Fishman electronics make tuning up a breeze.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I love the rich warm sound while being so easy to play. My lightly strung Gibson used to be my go to guitar for a quick practice but the 50CE, with perfect string spacing, action and a full D size voice makes this my first grab every time.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
To me there is no comparison with any guitar I have owned or tried. The ease that it plays is unbelievable to me. It also is a beautiful guitar, exuding craftsmanship throughout.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
First and foremost for me is how easy the string depression is. I am getting older and my hands don\'t work as they once did, throw in a little arthritis and I need all the help I can get. This guitar is a solution to my handicap. The tone of this guitar is also extraordinary.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
As I said earlier, I was considering a Martin guitar. I was looking at middle to upper end and we all know how expensive they are. My ZAD50ce could easily be $1,500 and up. One has to see it to believe it.
How would you rate customer support?
I have not had any problems with my guitar. I do know that before I purchased I read all about Zager\'s warantee. It is hard to imagine that they guarantee guitars 100%, period. I do know that I emailed Dennis Zager Jr. a few times prior to my purchase and his response time was almost immediate. To me that says a lot about the company.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely I would recommend this guitar to anyone. The ease of play, the tone, craftsmanship, the rich appointments to the guitar, the overall beauty of the guitar, terrific customer support and a 100% guarantee. This is a whole lot of guitar for the money!!!!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Advertised as "ez-play" and indeed it is. Less pressure on my arthritic fingers! Sound is superb. Showed it to my brother a semi-professional musician, and had a time getting it out of his hands.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The sound! Though I bought the acoustic/electric option, it plays with much more volume than my old guitar.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Hard to estimate the price, but you get what you pay for and I got a quality product for the price I paid.
How would you rate customer support?
Customer support is number one bar none! Quickly answering emails, and phone, extra courteous and went out of the way on my order to get shipment super fast.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Definitely, will tell anyone who will listen. As advertised, excellent sound, quality workmanship, I don\'t know what more could you want or expect!
Additional comments:
I liked the original one I bought which has the electrified amplified option, that I purchased a smaller sized one to practice on also. It just might be a gift for a certain God-child ... if I can bear to part with it.

I liked the original one I bought which has the electrified amplified option, that I purchased a smaller sized one to practice on also. It just might be a gift for a certain God-child ... if I can bear to part with it.

$1,000- way up range.

As good as any business that I have ever delt with. Most e-mails are answered within minutes. Really. I had a question after recieving my guitar and was answered withen ten minutes. Denny immediately offered a free return and then explained in a six paragraph explanation to my question and more.I really appreciate quality service.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes- PLAYABILITY - extreme quality - and there is now no doubt in my mind concerning the 100% money back guarantee. I will gladly include my email and if you live near Palistine Texas drop by my ranch and give her a test run.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, with Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings. It is the easiest playing guitar I\'ve ever had. I also have a Gibson SG Raw Power with Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings. It is a beautiful guitar and is great for hard rock. The ZAD50CE is the best sounding guitar I\'ve ever played. And it is surprisingly easy to play, considering the string thickness it came to me with. In order to get this amazing sound, I know a thicker string is needed. I love the way it plays. The sound is incredible. I have an Alvarez 12 string and this guitar is almost as loud. The tones are pure and sweet. I invited a friend over who owns a Martin D16 and a Seagull. He was really impressed. When I told him that I only paid little over $700 for the guitar and hard shell case he was a LOT more impressed. He said he\'s going to have to save some money up because he wants one. I\'ve played his Martin and I like it, but this guitar plays better and sounds sweeter, at a fraction of the price
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The clarity of the sound. The low tones are deep and rich while the higher notes are bright and sweet. It almost sounds like a grand piano.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$2000
How would you rate customer support?
They were very responsive. I was told they were out of stock on the Black model. After I placed the order, I expected to wait 3 months. They looked around and found one they were holding for another customer who had subsequently opted for a different model. I received it 2 & 1/2 months earlier than I had expected.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. All they need to do to be convinced is hear it.

I OWN A FENDER CASTER, LES PAUL GIBSON, MARTIN D-28, G SERIES TAKAMINE, AND SEVERAL OTHERS. WHAT I NEEDED WAS ANOTHER GUITAR. WHAT CAN I SAY, I LOVE GUITARS. WILL HAVE TO SAY THE ZAD-50CE IS A FINE INSTRUMENT. NICE SOUND, FANTASTIC APPEARANCE, WELL CONSTRUCTED, AND PLAYS LIKE A DREAM.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
LIKE SEVERAL THINGS ABOUT THIS GUITAR. SOUNDS REALLY NICE THROUGH MY FENDER AMP, THE FINISH IS FLAWLESS, AND THE EASY PLAY SET-UP, IS WONDERFUL. DANNY REALLY KNOWS HOW TO SET UP A GUITAR. THE ZAD-50CE IS EVERYTHING I WANTED IN AN ACOUSTIC.
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 BE PRICED MUCH HIGHER. PROBABLY IN THE $1200 TO $1500 RANGE. FOR WHAT I PAID, I AM WELLED PLEASED. VERY GOOD GUITAR FOR THE PRICE.
How would you rate customer support?
CUSTOMER SUPPORT AT ZAGER IS OUTSTANDING. I SENT THEM AN EMAIL AND GOT AN ANSWER IN ONLY A FEW MINUTES. THE BATTERY IN MY HUMIDITY GAUGE, WAS BAD, AND I HAD NEW BATTERIES WITHIN A FEW DAYS. NO QUESTIONS OR PROBLEMS. ALL MY QUESTION WHERE ANSWERED IN A TIMELY AND COURTEOUS MANNER.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS GUITAR TO ANYONE WANTING A GREAT ELECTRIC ACCOUSTIC. FOR THE PRICE, YOU CAN\'T BEAT IT. I\'VE HAD MINE FOR 4-5 MONTHS, WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS, WHAT SO EVER. ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED, IS HOW WELL SHE STAYS TUNED, AND I\'M STILL ON THE ORGINAL SET OF STRINGS. ALSO THE ON BOARD TUNER IS REALLY A PLUS, WHEN AND IF SHE SHOULD DRIFT A BIT, WHICH ISN\'T OFTEN.
Additional comments:
THE ZAD-50CE HAS REALLY BEEN A GOOD CHOICE. I AM REALLY ENJOYING IT. THANKS DANNY FOR SUCH A GREAT DEAL. ALSO I SPENT THE EXTRA $100 FOR THE CASE, AND IT WAS WELL WORTH IT.

I had a seagull guitar made in Canada I started out with, and after reading the reviews on your guitars and checking out other guitars at the music stores I wanted to try one of yours. At the price for a quality guitar you sell, some of the others were far to expensive to justify. After playing your guitar and can feel the difference in the way it plays to the way my old guitar played.
What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Overall the guitar is beautiful and well built, being a carpenter and being fussy how things should be, I appreciate the time and effort, patience and pride it take to build something of quality, and I would say you have done this on this guitar.
If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would think that this guitar could easily be worth two to three times more than what you are selling them for.
How would you rate customer support?
Thumbs up, you could not ask for better support.
Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I have already started to promote this guitar to my friends and family. I have a friend that has a marten guitar and he can hardly wait to play mind.
Additional comments:
Keep up the good work, you have a quality product, and is nice to see the little guy get a piece of the action. Jealousy gets you nowhere, you need step up or step out, so don't get to discouraged about some negative comments.
