"I'm an aspiring guitarist; I'm literally just learning. Prior to receiving my ZAD80, I was working with a nylon string and a very old entry-level fender. Reaching chords was difficult on the Nylon as it was a stretch; the fender was tough because of how tight the strings are. My Zager has made things easier for me; it sounds amazing and makes reaching those tough chords much easier. The quality craftsmanship, the buying experience...everything made me feel less like an outsider and more like I was a student of Mr. Zager and his son. My guitar arrived in a beautiful case. Everything, from the hand-signed note indicating that Denny had inspected it, to the custom pic attached to one of the tuners was amazing. I will be buying again, for my kids."

"From the onset, my experience with Zager Guitars, particularly Dennis, Jr. Has been remarkable. Dennis helped me choose which model would be best for me, offering pros and cons for each model (the con being higher price only). I ordered a ZAD900CE OM size, and could not be happier. Support and videos are especially helpful. Highly recommend Zager Guitars for your next purchase."

"I have the Sunburst Acoustic/electric, and it plays just as beautiful as it looks. Super high quality all the way around. It’s abundantly clear that the folks at Zager are interested in the little details. Can’t find a nicer guitar for the price. Buy a Zager folks, you won’t regret it!"

"I emailed Zager company numerous times before I ordered and they were quick to answer. I have a 50 model I've had guys with 5k Gibson's play my Zager and say "wow this is a nice guitar."
Then he begged and begged to use the extra set of Zager strings for the restring he was doing on another guitar.
Also, so far the only Zager picks I've lost are to guys who want one. They love the way it clips on when not playing."

"Since day one Dennis Zager has been nothing but professional and a pleasure to deal with. When the guitar arrived it was in superb condition, extremely beautiful and top notch quality! Just as described! Very happy with the purchase. Thank you so much Dennis!"

"I purchased a Zager guitar several years ago several years ago after reading reviews and speaking with Denny Sr without having played one. When I got it, it as if I had an old friend. It was so easy to play and sounded so good I could not believe it. Being under 5 ft tall tho it was a little bit large for me so I soon invested in a second Zager guitar, a ZAD 80 OM. It was slightly smaller, but had the same sweet sound and easy playing ability. I love this one and I’ll never give this guitar up! Zager guitars are as good as advertised and get better with age. You won’t be sorry when you get one home and play it.

"I am a 64 year old physician. Just starting out on guitar moving from a ukulele. I have been playing guitars at my disposal, but my hands and fingers hurt! I found Zager through research. My instructor looked at these guitars with me. He loved the sound. He did not know Zager before, but he does now!! Beautiful gorgeous piece of workmanship. As a surgeon, I respect something made as well as this. The best aspect is that my hands and fingers are
not hurting. Very comfortable to hold and use. An extension of my own arms!
Thanks Zagers. The guitar is as great as your music. In the year 2020 my hands are still alive."

"I got my guitar (ZAD-80CEOM/N) early this week. What a beauty. I appreciate the signed print from Denny, and the T-shirt. It was too small for me, but my wife is looking forward to strategically cutting it up and wearing it with skinny jeans. I’m in favor.
Your flyer recommends setting the action to 3/8” at the 12th fret, but I set mine to 1/4”, and the only buzz I get is from my long unpracticed technique. "

"Like many of you reading this review I was trying to determine if Zager guitars were the real deal. I finally took the leap and ordered the ZAD900CE hoping the the 100% satisfaction guarantee would be hassle free if I decided the Zager wasn't for me. Upon receiving the guitar I immediately took it out and began to play it. Just like the other reviews I was immediately taken back by the tone, clarity, and projection of this guitar. Quite amazing for an instrument that hasn't even had a chance to age. Just to make sure I wasn't simply smitten my new gear I took out my 20 yr old Martin DC16-GTE to compare them. My Martin has been professionally set up and the action is dialed in for me, so it just feels right. What I did notice right away is the Zager made my Martin sound a bit lifeless.

I love my Martin, but the Zager outshined it immediately in sound quality even before plugging it in and using the AURA system. There were two things I did not like about the Zager upon initial examination. First, I found the action to be too high for my playing style, which quite honestly I found surprising given all I've read. Second, the fit and finish is phenomenal on this guitar with one exception. I felt like the finish on the bridge pins did not match the quality of the rest of the guitar.

This purchase was a stretch for me, and really a stretch once I break the news to my wife, so I needed to love everything about this guitar to avoid sending it back. I decided to reach out to Zager and express the two hangups I had. To my surprise, Dennis Jr. himself replied almost immediately and treated me like I was an A-list artist that was signing a contract to play a Zager guitar. My complete satisfaction seemed to be his top priority, and he didn't seem to care wether I was a rock star or a guy who leads worship at a small church. I am the latter. He addressed my concerns, provided me guidance on getting my guitar dialed in, and sent me new bridge pins to ensure I was happy. Now that the guitar is dialed in I am very happy, and decided to take a few moments to share my experience. This level of care and concern for the happiness of customers is rare these days, and it's natural to be skeptical of claims from online sellers. Zager guitars has earned a fan for life because they are the real deal. Take the leap. You won't be disappointed!"

"I bought the Model 20 acoustic and was seriously impressed by it as soon as I opened the case. It sings really well and will open up even more with playing."

"Dennis,

I received my ZAD 80CE today. It arrived a day earlier than scheduled. WOW! I pulled out of the box and tuned it with the on board tuner, and it has not dropped a note since. I thought my Polar was nice, but this has blown me away. The tone resonates for a long time, and the ease of playability has surpassed my expectations.

It is beautiful and sounds wonderful. Again the finish like my polar is so smooth and strong. I have opted not to put the pickguard on.

Thanks again for everything
Mike Marsala"

"Been looking at Zager for some time, and got mine a few days ago and am really enjoying it.
The workmanship is excellent, the wood and the finish are beautiful. Customer service is excellent.
Sound is very good as is the action."

"I purchased the Zager 900 and received it yesterday. It exceeded my expectations. I had a professional guitarist play it as well, and he was so impressed with the full sound of my new guitar. It will be with me for years to come. I just love it with its soft strings for easy playing."

"My ZAD50CEVS Sunburst arrived today in great shape. Unpacking this much anticipated package felt like Christmas morning. The guitar is beautiful and once I tweaked the tuning it soundd great. I’ll be enjoying this gorgeous instrument for many years. Thanks for Everything! You’ve been super kind and attentive to all my emails and concerns. Please keep doing what you do best."

"Thanks for the five ⭐️ service that you provide Zager guitar owners most excellent! Best guitars around as far as I can tell , Don’t stop doing what you do best build excellent guitars!"
