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?

two parts.. Number 1 is the easy play feature.. Its everything you advertised,and more, Number 2 is the on board tuner, and audio adjustment.

$2,000. to $3,000.

I highly recommend this guitar to all my friends.. I have had folks come up during breaks and inquire about the name, "ZAGER"" to which I tell them , they need to get one...

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.

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.

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.

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!
