  • 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.

Model: ZAD-50CE

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I am very happy with this guitar both in the construction of it and the way it plays. I feel that it is very comparable to much more expensive guitars and is very good value for the cost.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I like how it plays and especially the feel of the neck. The sound is also very full and well rounded. I also like the upgraded electronics package that is now being used.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would estimate this guitar to be in the $1500.00 range and would easily compare to other makes in that range or even slightly higher.

How would you rate customer support?
The customer support was fantastic with all of my emails answered almost immediately.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would recommend this guitar to others for the reasonable price, the solid construction and the customer support that is provided. And remember if you are not happy with the guitar for any reason, send it back.

Additional comments:
Zager made the buying a guitar experience very easy for me and I definitely recommend them.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
There is no comparison. This is a masterpiece in quality and craftsmanship.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
E V E R Y T H I N G. There is no way I could choose any one part over another. They are all equally excelletnt

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would expect to pay well over $2,000.00 for this ZAD50CE Special

How would you rate customer support?
Customer support is superb. Dennis answered my questions usually within 10 mins of sending the email. I don't know of a better customer service.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Without question. The quality of the instrument and workmanship are excellent, but the sounds and ease of playing is unmatched. The action is incredible and your fingers do not get tired after extended playing.

Additional comments:
I could not have found a better guitar for myself. The sound is incredible and the ease of playing is something you have to try to believe. The entire package is off the chart. The guitar, the case (with humidifier)and the care and attention to detail that Dennis Zager puts into each and every one of his guitar4s. I'm sold, and so will you be.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
The sound is as good as my classic guitar, new out of the box, and will get better with age. The finish is perfect, its a beauty.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Hands down the playability. I was a little skeptical but when I first picked it up and was able to play easily and cleanly things I played before but now I was having difficulty with, I was impressed.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
To me the question is not what would I pay, but what is it worth to have a guitar I look forward to picking up again.

How would you rate customer support?
The best

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely, its quality craftsmanship and its E-Z to Play!

Additional comments:
Thank you Denny for making it fun to play guitar again! I wish I had found you sooner.

Model: ZAD-50CE

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
My retained personal collection is of guitars appproximately 40-50 years old and matured. Therefore, a fresh guitar is not going to be what a really good mature guitar is going to be. At my age I don't consider buying a guitar as a competitor to a quality seasoned guitar and... in this case I purchased it as a gift to my son who plays very similar to the methods of Denny Zager and his philosophy. I think I picked a 'matched' pair in this purchase consideration.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The custom structural setup!!!

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I've cheated a bit on this one before purchasing. I researched the 'major' established competitors and several custom shops for precisely this build less the custom setup. The customs with solid wood and or HPL sides and bottom were $1400-2000'ish, some with and some without the electronics. All of these were with A or lessor grade volume production woods. Gibson, Martin etc., all have models and like woods with the HPL sides and bottoms and their pricing runs from just under a 1K to upwards of $2000....all have some trade-off points between them. That being said, the Zager lineup is a reasonable BARGIN aside from the custom setup their guitars are built around.

How would you rate customer support?
The family character and customer support is straight from an era long past and missing from todays generations of the business world! I have NO reason(s) to believe that it goes well beyond purchasing and throughout the life of the company and the guitar. It seems to be rooted deep in their gene pool!

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I certainly would recommend to anybody seeking and striving to improve their music skills or a go-around for any physiological problems they may encounter. That said, there is a large segement in the music world who would consider the Zager system as irrelevant to their playing style and perception of music from a stringed instrument so consideration of the Zager system is probably not in their sight...right now.

Additional comments:
Thanks Denny and the Zager family! Your guitar is going into the hands of an exceptional young man who shares most of your style and philosophy.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have and have had many guitars throughout my life. I have owned Gibson, Fender, Martin, Yamaha, Condor, Carlos, Ovation and a whole slew of lessor named guitars. From the moment I took the guitar case out of the shipping box, I was impressed by how nice and well made the case is. Upon opening the case I was really surprised by how good looking the guitar is. However my biggest surprise was how great this guitar sounded. Having played for 60 years since I was 5 years old, I have never had a guitar that was perfect right out of the box. Until now. Every note on the entire neck was perfect pitch. Denny does an outstanding job of fine tuning and making sure that every aspect of the guitar is perfect. Thank you Denny.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Well, I love everything about this guitar, obviously. But my favorite thing is the ease of playing. My old arthritic hands have a hard time playing for more than 50 - 30 minutes with my other guitars. I have been able to play for hours on end with this guitar. I play many different styles but I really like finger picking i.e. Chet Atkins, Tommy Emmanuel, Jerry Reed, Doc Watson etc. I am just blown away by the clarity, and sustain and how rich and warm the lows and mids are and how bright and clear the highs. Overall just one super fantastic guitar for the money.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Having purchased many guitars in my life, I know that half of the price of a guitar is just the name on the headstock. The music store has to mark up the price big time just to keep their doors open. So, an in store price for this quality would probably be $1595.00 to $2295.00 plus tax. Thanks to the Zager Factory for allowing us to purchase direct. What a huge savings over retail music stores.

How would you rate customer support?
I have not needed to use the customer support, However, KUDOS to Dennis Jr. for his quick and honest answers to all of my many questions.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Simply, Price, Quality. This model compares to any Martin, Gibson, Ovation, Guild, that I have ever played.

Model: ZAD-50CE

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I've owned various mid-range acoustics - Fender, Alvarez, Epiphone, Harmony, Yamaha etc. The best guitar I've owned was a Martin D-35. Loved the low and mid range and the action was fair. The Martin D-35 was stolen - hope they enjoy it as much as I did. lol Comparing the ZAD50CDLH to all the rest of the guitars I've owned the Zager won hands down. As a left hand player I would have purchased the ZAD80CE or ZAD900CE given the opportunity but unfortunately for me Zager doesn't make them in a left hand model so I purchased the best lefty they had which was the ZAD50CE. I purchased a discounted guitar for $645.00 but when I received it much to my surprise they sent a new undamaged one - 5 Stars. The day UPS delivered the guitar the temperature was 104 so I let it set in the case for a couple of hours. When I opened up the case and took a look at the guitar the action was terrible so emailed Dennis Jr and asked him if maybe they had missed setting this one up. He said the hot weather had been giving them havoc the last week of two so I set it back in the case till the next morning. When I checked it the next day the action was nice and low just as I was hoping for. Comparing the Martin D-35 to the ZAD50CDLH is hard because they are 2 different breeds of guitar. The Martin had a rich low and mid range while the ZAD50CDLH is rich in the mid and high ranges. From what reviews I've seen I would say when comparing the the Martin-35 to a Zager guitar the most comparable would be the ZAD80 or ZAD900 which are right hand only.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Hands down it would be the action. Very nice and easy to play. After the purchase I received a link to some videos from Denny Zager and it was clear that our playing styles were not the same. I like my firm pick and although his picks play well with the extra light strings I didn't like the sound of the pick on the strings. The ZAD50CDLH is bright and loud and the acoustics are very nice. Yes, it is a Sigma Martin made in Indonesia but it is not just another cheap guitar. It has customized bracing and the solid sitka top is thin enough for great resonance. The first thing I noticed about the guitar was the projection... Unlike other guitars I've owned the back and side are relatively silent while the sound resonates richly from the top. When playing standing up it doesn't sound like it has much volume but it does. Really nice volume to the people in front of you. In the future I plan on installing a JLD bridge system to support the custom bracing and top and experiment with various gauge strings.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I was worth what I paid for it... No complaints. $640.00 + $95.00 case + $40.00 shipping

How would you rate customer support?
They did good - Dennis Jr did the sales questions and Jillian handled the emails after the purchase. Jillian was very helpful...

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, I would... But there are some things purchasers need to know. Don't do anything to the guitar if your thinking you might want to use their money back guarantee. Zager guitars don't have a front strap peg. Don't add one or you won't be able to get a refund. Also the lifetime guarantee doesn't cover heavier gauge strings - only the gauge of the strings that come with the guitar. Like other guitar manufacturers heat and humidity are not covered in the warranty. Zager guitars are customized and delicate instruments and although they are well built they're not your usual Yamaha tank. I highly recommend a good quality case. Zager sells one that also comes with a humidity meter inside the storage compartment.

Additional comments:
Dennis Jr would make a good politician. lol So don't settle with the normal sales pitch. Ask questions till you are satisfied. He will answer you truthfully when pressed.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This guitar surpasses the sound of my Martin D-28 as well as it's play-ability. Action is very fine and the sound is bold and fat. I have a concert Crafter...while the action on this guitar is good....the Zager is a bit better and the sound is much better. The ZAD50CE is lighter in weight as well.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Favorite part? That's tough since the whole guitar has so much to offer. You can play without hand soreness and that's good, because you don't want to put the instrument down! I WILL be using this guitar on my next recording session.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
The sound, construction and play-ability of this guitar is equal to those guitars ranging from $1,700 to $2,200.

How would you rate customer support?
The customer support is second to none! It is so refreshing to experience customerservice like this...very rare these days.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I WILL be showing off this guitar at up coming jam sessions and concerts. Folks need to see this guitar...folks need to hear this guitar....and most importantly...folks need to play Zager guitars!

Additional comments:
I admit I was a little worried. But those reading this....throw your fears to the wind and try one of these guitars! You will be glad you did.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I currently also own a Fender T-Bucket. The ZAD50cespecial is superior in tone and ease of play. The Fender is nice but I love the rich tone of the ZAD50. I'm also now able to play barre chords. On the Fender I can but is much more difficult and usually can't play them in a quick chord progression.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Ease of play and the rich tone. It looks good too!

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would guess about $1200

How would you rate customer support?
Awesome!!

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
YES! A great value for the money and a great place to do business with

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Although I have always primarily been an electric and classical player, I have owned several acoustics in the past - namely a Daion and a Martin Sigma. I consider both previous guitars to be good guitars that I purchased only after trying dozens of other brands and models. That being said, the Zager guitar is clearly on another level. Even allowing for the fact that it was in a price bracket above my previous guitars; I would put it equal or above the finest guitars that I have tried. Perhaps reminiscent of the top-end Ovations that I loved, but never bought due to the price.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The sound stands out. While the setup and Easy Play aspects are great, when I am playing, their contribution is more a lack of intrusion or hindrance to my playing. The sound, however, is extremely clean and clear. Whether playing finger style or with a pick, the guitar has a bright, clear sound that allows good separation of parts and ringing chords. I envision the guitar sounding better still with use and age.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
1200 +

How would you rate customer support?
Support is excellent. Thoughtout the process, Dennis Zager sent emails updating the status of the order and also promptly answered any questions I had.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would defnately reccomend a Zager guitar to anyone looking for an acoustic. I especially think that this would be the perfect acoustic for electric players looking for their first acoustic. The neck and action are closer to the feel of a good electric than most other acoustics, and so would make for a seamless entry.

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!

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.

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

THERE IS NO COMPARISON TO THE MARTIN GUITAR THAT I WAS PLAYING. MY ZAD 50CE SOUNDS SO MUCH BETTER, PLAYS EASIER, AND IS A MORE ATTRACTIVE GUITAR THAN THE MARTIN. MY ZAGER GUITAR IS THE BEST GUITAR THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED OR HAD THE PLEASURE TO PLAY. IT IS SO EASY TO PLAY AND I CAN PLAY IS SO MUCH LONGER AND FASTER THAN I EVER THOUGHT I COULD.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
IT IS HARD TO SAY IT IS JUST ONE THING. MY ZAGER PLAYS SO EASY AND IS SO EASY ON YOUR FINGERS. THE STYLE OF THE NECK AND THE HEIGHT OF THE STRINGS MAKE IT SO THAT I CAN NOW PLAY BAR CHORDS WITH EASE. THE WOODS THAT ZAGER GUITARS USES ARE BEAUTIFUL IN SIGHT AS WELL AS SOUND. THE SOUND IS SO CLEAN AND CRISP, IT IS EXCELLENT, UN-PLUGGRD OR PLUGGED IN TO MY SYSTEM. THE GUITAR COMES WITH THE FISHMAN 60, AND IT IS GREAT.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
2,000.00---3,000.00

.EXCELLANT--ZAGER WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO MAKE MY PURCHASE EASY AND FRIENDLY. THEY EVEN GREAT////ZAGER GUITAR WENT TO THE TROUBLE TO SEND ME PHOTO'S OF MY GUITAR BEFORE THEY SHIPPED IT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS TO MY LIKING. DENNY TOOK THE TIME TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS AND TREATED ME AS IF I WERE A VALUED CUSTOMER. I BELIEVE THAT THE DENNY ZAGER GUITAR'S TRUELY APPRICATED MY BUSINESS AND I LIKE DOING BUSINESS WITH SUCH A PERSON LIKE DENNY ZAGER, THAT HAS SO MUCH CLASS.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
YES////ITS SOUND, PLAYABILITY, AND IT OVER-ALL QUALITY OF THE ZAGER GUITAR MAKES IT STAND OUT. IT IS ALSO A BEAUTIFUL GUITAR THAT I AM PROUD TO CALL MINE AND WILL PLAY IT WITH ANYONE. I ALREADY HAD FRIENDS THAT HAVE TRIED OUT MY ZAD-50CE STATE THEY WERE GOING TO BUY ONE VERY SOON.

Additional comments:
YOU HAVE TO BUY ONE OF THESE ZAGER GIUTARS. YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS. IF YOU WANT TO BE A VALUED COSTOMER AND NOT A NUMBER, GET YOU A ZAGER GUITAR AND SEE IF I AM TELLING THE TRUTH..

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have had Gibsons, Epiphones, a Goya etc and it is much easier to play than any of them. I tried many guitars in stores, but I couldn't find one with a wide enough neck at the nut.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
My favorite part of this guitar is how easy it is to play up the neck on the 9th,10th, 11th fret. It is so easy to articulate every note when I play a passage in the upper register. I am also amazed at how much voice this guitar has. It projects enough to fill a room.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
If I picked this guitar up in a store and it had no price tag I would think it had to be no less than $1,000 and that would seem like a good deal.

How would you rate customer support?
I would rate customer support as A-One. The first guitar I received was damaged in shipment by UPS. I called Dennis Jr. on the phone and he told me to have UPS pick it up and he would send another at no cost to me. Within one week I had the second one arrive in perfect condition with no additional cost.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would absolutely recommend this guitar and have done so. The materials and workmanship are excellent. After owning mine for four years it is obvious to me this guitar sounds better as the wood cures. I have confidence that like Gibsons, Martins and the like this guitar will no only keep it value but increase as time goes by. This guitar is suited to somebody just starting to play as well as the seasoned professional.

I would love to see a Zager archtop acoustic with carved top. Well, I can dream can't I?
