Model: ZAD-50 OM

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
It is a fantastic guitar. I have a cort and a Yamaha. This has superior sound and is easy to play. The quality of this guitar is above average.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I like the neck but also the top with the lovely abalone decoration around the sound hole. The Om size is just perfect for a female like me with smaller height. Also not being a youngster the lighter weight is a great advantage.. I would recommend this size to any woman.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would think this guitar would be up to $1500 level.

How would you rate customer support?
Could I give it 500 percent? Dennis was always polite, always prepared to go the extra mile. I sent many messages to him and he never got tired of answering my questions. Their guarantee is fantastic, you wont find anything better.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would highly recommend this guitar to anyone. The high quality cases they sell are fabulous, better than any I have ever seen. Give Zager a try you wont regret it.

Additional comments:
I live in New Zealand and so it was a big decision to buy from US but it was so worth getting to know Dennis and Denny at Zager guitars.

Model: ZAD-50 OM

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This is not an easy question, because as we know, each guitar has it's own personality and sound. Over the years I have played many average and great acoustics. For some reason, and in my opinion, this Zager ZAD50-OM has no equal. It has such a rich but bright sound. And for the price, I do not have to worry about it like I would a vintage instrument.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The sound is outstanding! It has such a robust, rich, and even sound. I even emailed Dennis Zager and asked him how is it possible this thing sounds so good. Is it the strings ? or the guitar ? Obviously, it is the combination of the two. The other feature that truly won me over was it's orchestra size. It fits me perfectly, not oversize when I'm sitting, and not too small like a 3/4 scale. This guitar hands down gets the most complements from my students and friends for it's rich but bright sound.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Between $500 and $700 street price. I would think retail $1000 or more.

How would you rate customer support?
Unbelieveably accommodating for direct and non-direct customers!! I mean this in the true sense. Dennis will quickly get back to you, offer alternatives, string suggestions, and in addition will send you free strings to try even on non-Zager acoustics. The Zager company truly has the customer and their needs as their first priority. I did not buy my ZAD50-OM direct from Zager, and it made no difference, as they still helped me.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely, as it is in a class of it's own. The sound is "Martin-ish", but with a Gibson richness. The overall quality of the guitar is outstanding.

Additional comments:
I purchased my ZAD50-OM used. When I received it, there was a minor string buzz. This was due to the change in climate as I purchased it from a Easter state and I live in California. The buzz was quickly fixed, but if I had to do this again, I would purchase the guitar new from Zager direct. As they would know how to compensate for changes in climate, etc. And they really take care of their customers.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Its better than the Taylor Chinese 110. It plays almost as soft as my Cort M900. The sounds are better than any guitar I picked up and tested. This Company seems to care. Not like the Guitar Centers or other retailers. That means everything to me!

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
It plays and looks like one of those 3000 dollars Martins hanging on the wall in the Guitar Center. You know what? Its better.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
3000 dollars is a lot of money to a retired military guy. But I do know the price of this guitar and its worth a lot more to me.

How would you rate customer support?
Outstanding

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
No, but yes. I want to them to envy me for a while. And show them how a USA guitar should sound and play.

Additional comments:
Its too new and I am infatuated. Time will tell. I hope its like a good wine that betters with age.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This is my first. However, comparing it to others in the store, I find it superior in worksmanship to most.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Ease of play is wonderful. String height is amazing! Since I'm a new player, I'm sure the overall string abuse to my fingers has been reduced significantly.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1000 +

How would you rate customer support?
I don't think it could get any better! Instant reply to emails and a wonderful person at the end of the line (phone calls). Very knowledgable, caring and a pleasure to do business with.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely! Why? For all the reasons stated above. Quality product, great price and great customer service!

Additional comments:
I just wanted to say "Thanks!" Denny! I'm so happy with my new guitar. Some things in life are just made for 'enjoyment'... and this is one of them. It just gives me pleasure every time I pick it up!

I am actually a hobby luthier. This guitar I have had for 3 years and is the only guitar that I did not build myself that I will not part with. All other of the shelf guitars I had have been sold. The ZAD50 I play in church 3 or more times a week and will not part with it. It just gets better with age.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Plays great and the sound is incredible, I will put it up against any of the shelf guitar around.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1500 or more

I spend 1 month to research. ...from internet to visit 5 guitar shops...tried out almost every branch ...and finally I found Zager.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Everything...from quality of workmanship, sound, appearance...After all, this guitar get the touch of the legend Dan Zager and his signature...and that give me a story to "brag" about...:).

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would price it in the low $1,000. How ever, I cherish the part that Dan had builded this guitar.

How would you rate customer support?
To make it simple: Suberb!

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I would...because it's worth every penny of it!

Additional comments:
I first heard the song 2525 on the FM channel 1969 in the jungle of Pleiku. My English was not good enough to understand everything...but later on...my English has been improved and I start to understand what was the philosophy of the song..later in life, after searching (35 years) and involved with technology and I find out Dan was ahead of his time! ..I'm sure Dan builded his guitar with "the Love of music"...Thank you!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
Well, I have no old guitars. However, I did go to several guitar stores and looked at a few. I asked one of the staff to play a little for me so that I could get a feel for how it would sound. They really didn't want to be bothered. When I went to your website you directed me to the place where you played many songs. They were the songs that I hope to play. I especially liked the playing style. Thank you for the attention that you gave to me with the emails and the informative website. Left alone in my search, I was beginning to be discouraged. Thank you for telling me that many of the songs played were on the zad50om. I was hooked and now I have my very own zad50om guitar.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Wow, my favorite part of the guitar, is how it looks and feels. I can't stop smiling when I have it in my hands. This may sound frivolous, but I'm just beginning to learn how to play. I'm looking forward to your on-line lessons. If you will permit me, I'll stay in touch through all the lessons and will better answer this question later,

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Now you've got me. I searched youtube to hear dozens of guitars. The sounds I liked were waaaay to expensive, and when I checked the guitars I could afford, I really didn't like the way they sounded, so I didn't buy them. To answer your question, well over a $1500.

How would you rate customer support?
I guess I have answered this question earlier. If first time buyers like me, who want to get the right guitar the first time, they need to spend some time with you. I clicked the flashing box that said you were on line, and you were there. More importantly you answered about a dozen questions, and pointed me in the right direction. If you will allow me to explain a little about my career, it will tell you about customer service. As you may know, many people have had their moments in the sun. The good Lord made me really good at what at what I did. I was a manufacturing consultant, and one of my duties was to help my clients improve their customer service. For some, it allowed them to turn around their business, and stay in business. For others, it made them much more profitable. The old adage, "They don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care" will always make you successful. You took the time necessary for me to feel good about my decision. In my world, education is a transfer of knowledge, and doing something with that knowledge is a transfer of skills. I have the right guitar, now I need to learn how to play it. and,- you are still there for me. In my experience, the best rating for customer support is, YES! Superior customer support.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
As much as I can. Because I'm retired, my sphere of influence is limited. However, I have a friend who has one of those really expensive guitars, and I've heard him play it. I can't wait for him to get a load of MY ZAGER! I hope he'll give it back. I'll let you know how it goes.

Additional comments:
One final thought, by you spending time with me and answering my emails, and then pointing me in the right direction on your website to further inform me to make the right choice of guitar should put a smile on your face; I sure have one on my face. Thank you! 2525 still rocks. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to call, 850-332-0229. Best regards, Edd Freeman

I emailed Dennis Jr and 5 minutes later I had my answer.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I am telling everyone that will listen about Zager Guitars. Even non-players.

Additional comments:
Review of my new ZAD-50 OM: I have been playing for 30 years or more. That said, I consider myself an average player. I've always become discouraged with certain chords that I was unable to use without a fret buzz. I came across Zager guitars by accident online. I thought I'd try one since there was nothing to lose due to an outstanding return policy. The reviews are all so good I wondered if they were genuine. They are! My Zager arrived by UPS 3 or 4 days after my order. The first thing that I loved was the awsome hard shell case with the Zager name molded into it. Quality inside and out. As soon as I picked up the guitar I noticed the neck was different. The thickness and shape just felt right to me. It felt much more comfortable than any other guitar I've held. I don't know how they do it, but the strings are so easy to press I instantly became a better player. Now I play longer without sore fingers or a fatigued chord hand. My callouses on my finger tips have also softened and I have sensation in them again. It also stays in tune longer than my other guitars. I own several acoustic guitars including a Martin and Yamaha. In my humble opinion the Zager sounds better than the Martin and every bit as good as the Yamaha. I'll keep them as guitars I can keep in open C or other tunings. I had a question regarding my new Zager guitar so I emailed Dennis Zager Jr and he responded within 5 minutes with an appropriate response. I only wish I'd discovered Zager guitars sooner. I also received extra strings, several picks and a Zager Guitars T-shirt. This package could sell for $1500 or more. Thank you Zager family.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
my other guitar is a Ibanes AW-30 full size which my wife got me . i never played before and never felt comfortable with the size , being only five four created a reach problem . The 50om fits me just right . the sound and quality design of the Zager far out reach the Ibanez in this novices opinion . it is like comparing leather shoes to synthetic . no comparison . the tone alone was worth the purchase . ease of play will yet to be determined as i am a beginner but the om design does not make me feel awkward or intimidated .

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
My favorite part about this guitar is the fact that it is crafted in the USA by Dennis Zager . he signed it then personally tuned it before shipping . and it is beautiful to look at,simple and comfortable to hold . can't stress this enough .

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Though i have not shop much , i believe it would easily be in the thousand dollar range

How would you rate customer support?
Customer support so far is great Dennis Jr . has answered all my correspondence before and after purchase . he recommened the 50om for me and was right on .

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes , i couldn't be happer with it and i am picky . it looks great and sounds great . I know quality when i see it .

Additional comments:
I am looking forward now to taking lessons and what expectations i have will be limited to me and not Zager Guitars .

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
It's a little different than my others, which is what I was looking for. I own a 93 Guild F30, a Takamine EF341SC and a Fender ESD-10 Dreadnaught. I wanted something that fit somewhere in the middle for gig's. This fit the bill perfectly.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The whole package is nicely done. The sound is it;s own, and the Neck is nicely set with Binding, and the frets are nicely dressed. As a professional musician here in NY, Any guitar I get usually needs some tweaking to "my" spec's. This was closer than most right out of the box. Grover Tuners and Tusk nut and Bridge come standard.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
This would feel like a $899 - $999 GC special...

How would you rate customer support?
Top notch, when I fist sent an e-mail to them, I never thought I;d hear back, or it would take a week or two for an automated response. 50 minutes later Dennis Zager jr. sent me an e-mail. He is right on the money. Their CS is second to none in any business.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
From Beginner to Pro. My Acoustic partner is The Lowriders (www.thelowridersny.com) Loved the sound of this guitar. He plays Strictly Martins. I will be posting a video review shortly...

Additional comments:
This is a pretty nice guitar for double the price, It's a keeper. Thanks guys...

Model: ZAD-50 OM

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This is a beautifully appointed solid mahogany guitar that compares very favorably with all of my other guitars, all of which are Martins (D-19, D-41, OM-41sp). It is loud and crisp yet balanced. It would not be fair to compare it directly to the other OM I own because that is a much higher end instrument, and also a rosewood guitar. But the 50 OM by Zager is a superb instrument in sound, and very easy to play. I did change out the strings it came with to regular lights (Martin Lifespan) and, for me, that made a huge difference. Great guitar!

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The playability. Once I put on my favorite set of strings and tweaked the truss rod a bit it became exceptionally easy to play. And it is beautiful to look at; stained mahogany and natural spruce top are a very nice combination; the abalone rosette is really nice.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
If I was handed this guitar without knowing it was a Zager I think I would have probably assumed it was a Larrivee or comparable and would have expected to pay between $850 and $1,000.

How would you rate customer support?
Customer support -- only the very best I have ever experienced. Astonishing, really! Immediate response to email, quick to help out. Dennis handles things personally and I have never been so well looked after.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Absolutely. For the nay-sayers and those who immediately think Zager guitars are second rate I suggest you take another look. You would have NOTHING to lose. I will tell you honestly that I was completely prepared to take advantage of their offer -- no strings attached money back and they pay shipping BOTH WAYS if you don't like the guitar. Suffice to say I am keeping mine.

Additional comments:
The guitar I bought is to be the first nice acoustic guitar for my 15 year-old son, who mainly plays electric. He is a fine player, and I needed to find something that had a slimmer neck (I prefer the V-neck on my OM-41, but my son is used to a Strat and Les Paul) -- and it needs to sound great because he's played my Martins and he has a great ear. What I got for my $500 is AMAZING.

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.

I like most everything about this guitar ..i would like it in sunburst but what the hey..size wise it is extremly comfortable..The playability is extremly good..It gives me what the heck i want in a guitar..

WITH THE CASE, ABOUT DOUBLE.

How would you rate customer support?
VERY GOOD.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO HEAR AN OPINION FROM A GOOD GUITARIST. I WOULD TELL OTHERS LIKE ME, TRY A ZAGER.

Additional comments:
WELL, DENNIS GOES OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAPPY ABOUT YOUR GUITAR, GIVES GENUINE ASSURANCE IN WHAT YOU ARE BUYING, WHO ELSE WILL GIVE YOU A GAURANTEED CASH BACK PROMISE. MY DAUGHTER IN LAW "EMMA" HAS TAKEN TO THE GUITAR. UNLIKE ME, SHE WILL HAVE A GOOD START, AND IS MORE THAN WELCOME TO GET EVEN BETTER, USING THE ZAGER GUITAR.

This was my first one, I had not played before. I didn't know what to look for other than to follow the advice of not getting too cheap a guitar, nor going way overboard to start out.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I bought this guitar in 5007 and began my journey of learning this instrument. At first it was hard to tell much about the playability and quality but now after steady practice I can ssy this guitar is great. I've now had the chance to try others and the feel of the Zager is just so much easier to finger and the sound is really nice. I've been told by others that the playability is better than many guitars. The finish is top quality. I find I can play this with less strain on my fingers.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$750-1,000

How would you rate customer support?
First rate, everything you hear about the quality of service is true. All those testimonials on their site are there for a reason.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, because from a beginners perspective, this guitar helped me learn easier and more enjoyable.

I've only tried guitars in stores. This one felt like it fit me just right. It was a lot easier for me to fret the strings because they are a little farther apart. And I really liked how it felt solid and the finish looked like master craftsman work!

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I don't have to press as hard on the strings because of the lower action.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Just from what I had seen in stores I'd say around a thousand bucks!

How would you rate customer support?
I've never had customer support from anything I've ever purchased that's as good as Zager. FAST response to questions, and the 2 things I had questions about got solved to my satisfaction and quickly. Other companies should use Zager as a benchmark for the service quality.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Heck YES! Mine is over 2 years old with lots of newbie beginner playing and handling and it still looks new. Very good quality. I have a neighbor with a Martin and when I go over she wants to play mine because she likes the tone better. I have a couple of other friends who said they can't believe the tone is so good in this price range. One of them bought a Zager ZAD80 because of the tone alone.

Additional comments:
I was 64 when I bought this from Zager, a total beginner on guitar. After 3 months I was able to play a few songs along with a friend (chords only). I don't think I could have done that in that time period if I'd had a different brand thanks to the EZ Play of the lower action and the strings being a little farther apart. It's enjoyable to practice as I can play longer. The finish on this Sunburst model is excellent and I've had comments on how nice it looks. I've seen another Zager that wasn't a Sunburst and the finish looked incredible!

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I will not purchase another brand of guitar.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The sound and playability are far better than the higher dollars guitars made by another manufacturer that I regularly play with.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
At least twice as much as they cost.

How would you rate customer support?
500%!

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes because you will not find a better playing or better sounding guitar or even quality for no where near the cost of a zager.

Thanks again for taking enough pride to sell and support such a fine guitar!
