How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I was/am a classacal guitar player, used to nylon strings. I needed a steel string guitar for some special music and a friend recommended a Zager as a transition guitar. I bought my Zager ZAD 50 OM several years ago and it is my favorite acoustic guitar. I have since acquired several other nice acoustic guitars including a Breedlove,a Dean, and a Larrivee acoustic electric. I am now going to purchase a Zager acoustic electric as I am playing longer gids and appreciate the ease of playing plus the sweet tone of Zager guitars.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I love the ease of playing Zager guitars, and the sweet tone-- almost piano like at times.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1,000-$2,000

How would you rate customer support?
Excellent

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I have recommended Zager to others. You can play them for long periods without fatigue and they look and sound great plugged or unplugged.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
First let me point out that the guitar I purchased from Denny was a ZAD-50, not a 50, but there was no option to choose that model. I used a 3/4 size Guild when I was in College (in the 70's) and purchased a Madeira from a local NYC shop that was closing it's doors in the 80's. The Madeira was definitely NOT an EZ play guitar...and it was probably what kept me from playing a lot more in those years. I bought a few lower end Washburn models off the internet and the ZAD-50 outshines them all...soundwise and playability. I gave the Madeira and one of the Washburns to my son but closely guard the ZAD-50 as my favorite. I may update that from Denny's collection soon as I am slowly becoming more adept at this instrument. I can play for hours now (calloused fingers help) and my wife actually enjoys my "concerts". I have NOT spent a lot of hours playing guitars in the box stores (Sam Ash, Guitar Center, etc.) but I intend to do so. I do NOT think I will find anything near the price I paid for the ZAD-50 (or the updated model prices) that will sound so sweet and play so easily.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Definitely the ease of playing. The sound is a function of the strings against the frets and unless you can get a clean contact the sound will never be good. I don't have to worry about it when I am playing the ZAD-50.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would say around $750 or so. My son is a musician and lives with several guitarists. I have played their Gibsons and various other models and I would say my ZAD-20 is right up there with their instruments.

How would you rate customer support?
I have never had a problem so I would not know. I did write to Dennis Jr. and got a response within the hour which was a pleasant surprise.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes. You cannot beat the price and the unlimited warranty including shipping both ways is simply the best testimonial to the Zager line.

Additional comments:
Pretty finish as well. I am sorry I rubbed off the signature on the back but after years of use it was to be expected. May Denny can come to NY and re-sign it?

Additional comments:
My wife and I play southern/bluegrass gospel music and we play in a lot of churches and jams around NW Indiana and my Zager ZAD50 goes with me everywhere. I just love how it plays so easy and is just a beautiful guitar and sounds great. I would someday like to have a ZAD80 too. I'll put it on my wish list for Santa...ha. Anyway, I highly recommend the Zager guitars for anyone from a beginner to a pro. Can't go wrong.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I own a Seagull, Yamaha, and Takamine. I've tried every brand on the shelf and none play as easily as the ZAGER.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The action is my favorite part, because it's so easy to play and there's never any sore fingers. The second favorite thing is the sound is always so good. I learned on the Seagull and got very sore fingers from time to time.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would've thought it's cost to be at least as much as a Martin or Gibson ($1200 or more)

How would you rate customer support?
Absolutely Outstanding.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, I do all the time.

In comparison to my other guitars this Zag-50 is equal to or greater in workmanship and playability than they are.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The sound. My wife says its sound is far better than the guitar that I play most of the time.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
The price is amazing it is by far more affordable with workmanship equal to the top class of guitars. I don't have the money to buy a top of the line Martin, Takamine, or some of the other top brands, but the Zager is affordable and the sound, workmanship, finish is top quality.

How would you rate customer support?
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest they are a 10+

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes I would recommend the Zager - 50 to anyone. If your money is tight and you like to play buy a Zager

Additional comments:
I love this guitar it fulfills my every need in having a quality guitar at a very affordable price.

I have a 65 Fender mustamg electric. Plays as easy but obviusly it is not acustic. Zad 50 plays well, The sound is as good as my brothers d-28 Martin I really think it would take digital equipment to tell the difference,The Big difference was about $5000.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I lke the string spacing and the over all look and feel. This guitar does not look or sound like a $500 guitar.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I really think it would be around $1500 to $2000 in a shop.

How would you rate customer support?
So far I have not needed any, guitar and case arived in tune and perfect with a life time guarantee. I have no doubts.If I needed support the Zager family is only a phone call or e-mail away.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes i would. Especially to a beginner. It is alot of guitar for the price.

Additional comments:
I am very satisfied with this beautiful guitar that sounds as good as it looks. I am really glad i decided to but a Zager.

This guitar is by far a superior instrument to anything I have ever held in my hands or heard played in the circles I frequent, I own three other guitars and this one blows them all out of the water!

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
the ease of fingering the chords.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
judging by the other guitars out there that I have tried I would say this guitar would be at least in the $1500.00 plus range.

How would you rate customer support?
The people at Zager are first class business people and have answered any and all questions I have asked and certainly go above and beyond anything I expected.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I will recommend this guitar to anyone, but I wouldn't have to say a word if they picked it up and play it the instrument will sell it self, its that good.

Additional comments:
I would like to thank the Zager family and especially Dennis Zager for building such an high end guitar and keeping it affordable so people like my self can own one, as I have read somewhere before, "the world needs more guitar players", the Zagers are going to make that happen one guitar at a time.

This instrument smashes my other guitar to splinters in every way. I was about to make a purchase of a Martin but when I mentioned that to my instructor he suggested Zager Guitars as another excellent guitar to consider.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Wow, that's like asking if I like air, eating or sleeping better. The first thing was how visually striking the instrument is. Then when you pick it up, it has both a light but solid feel. Almost like it's hand-crafted just for you. That all said, the sound, tone and quality is beyond anything I've experienced.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
$1000-$2000

How would you rate customer support?
First-rate. I've exchanged several emails with Denny Zager and he's always responded within 50 mins of hitting Send. I still can't believe the owner of the company actually is that responsive with any email. Simply astounding service.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
To anyone I know who plays. This is simply the single most enjoyable guitar I've played and I will make sure I tell that to anyone who will listen.

Additional comments:
It's a gorgeous instrument that plays and sounds as good as it looks. Any trepidation of buying a guitar on-line without playing it first was totally unfounded. I am absolutely amazed that such an affordable guitar looks and sounds like a $5000 instrument and would not have believed it until I played it myself.

I've always dreamed of owning my own guitar but until my ZAD-50 owning one was not possible. The guitars I\'ve held in stores seem like children\'s toys compared to my guitar. My guitar feels solid and smooth and strong. The workmanship and dedication that Denny puts into his guitars was obvious from the moment I unpacked my new guitar.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I love the true clear sounds of my guitar. I am a beginner enrolled in Denny\'s lesson plan. I am amazed that I can actually understand and play a song in such a short time.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would have to say at least three times what I paid.

How would you rate customer support?
Top knotch all the way! Every question I have emailed was answered almost instantly with caring, kindness and professionalism. Your people are are the best! Even when I asked an embarrassing question (which I won't repeat) I was assured that I was not the first to ask. Every product that I asked about was in my mailbox within a day or two. Zager is the only company that I have ever ordered from that has not tried to nickle and dime me to death. All the little extras that you have sent me were never expected and are greatly appreciated. You people are wonderful!!

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
You better believe it! I would hate to see any of my friends go in debt to own a dream come true guitar. Zager has made it possible for people with a love of music to own a guitar AND take lessons that are easy to understand without robbing a bank. I am sure I will be buying another guitar from you in the near future.

Additional comments:
The on-line lessons are wonderful. Many people with a busy lifestyle like me have diffuculty taking lessons because there are simply not enough hours in the day. With the on-line lessons you can take lessons at your leisure, even if it happens to be 2:00 in the morning. Being able to view the lessons over and over again also is a huge help when you get stuck on a problem. I cannot say enough to show my appreciation. All my life I have wanted to play a guitar but living on a farm, raising children and working full time leaves little room for anything else. Now the children are grown and I am able to spend a little more time on myself. I get a HUGE satisfaction everytime I open my guitar case and see my ZAD-50. I don\'t care if I ever play for an audience other than my husband (who encouraged me to buy from you) or my horse. It brings me great joy to play.

Extremely easier to play, and the sound is at least as good as guitars costing two or three times as much.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
Probably the playability. This guitar is great for both fingerstyle and flat pick.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
Probably $1800-$2200, perhaps higher.

How would you rate customer support?
Very quick, emails are answered the same day, usually within an hour or two.

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I have already done so, two friends are strongly considering a purchase.

Additional comments:
The combination of playability and sound quality really are unmatched in any guitar I've seen within at least twice or more of the price.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
No comparison. I have owned a Guild 25, Alvarez, presently own a Seagull 25th anniversary which is overall very nice to play and the string spacing is why I bought it, but this Zagar that I just got is superb in every way and much more enjoyable to play in the way it is constructed. Top shelf is how I would put it.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
I like the comfortable feel of the neck and the extra wide spacing between strings as my fingers are rather large. I also love the looks of the Sunburst and the pearl inlay around the sound hole. You have to see it to appreciate it. It\'s a joy to look at and play. I would never want another guitar, EVER!

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would price it around the $1200 range.

How would you rate customer support?
Excellent in every way!

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I not only would, but I will for every reason stated above. You couldn\'t possibley get a better quality guitar unless maybe you want to spend a couple of thousand dollars and even then, I don\'t know if it would be any better.

Additional comments:
This company has been making these guitars since 1969 so they are well established. There is no possible way that you could lose by purchasing one of these outstanding guitars as Zagar has a 100% money back guarantee and that even includes free shipping both ways should you not like it so it costs you nothing.........I don\'t think you\'ll be sending it back though once you open the box and see it and then play it! You will then become another believer and satisfied customer who would be more than happy to send in a comment just as I am doing here. I only wish I had known about this guitar company years ago! Zagar Guitar is simply superb!
