"I'd been looking at the Zager site for what felt like years before deciding to finally bite the bullet and get one of these things. The comparisons to much more expensive guitars was always compelling to me, as well as the whole Zager story, and so I finally picked one up.
Ordering experience was good, no issues processing the order on the website. I heard from Dennis once the guitar shipped, and received tracking information. I received the guitar on the day promised.
When I opened the box, the guitar was packed carefully and shipped in its own hard case. The case itself is beautiful, much better quality than I expected. With the Zager logo dented into the top of the case, making it look very sharp. The inside of the case is soft and hugs the guitar, protecting it, perfectly. I received a truss rod adjustment tool, a certificate of authenticity, and one of their custom picks (nice touches).
Now the guitar... the wood is amazingly beautiful and excellent quality. The build of this guitar is stunning and the action out of the box is just right. Even with a 3/4 scale neck, this thing is set up like an electric guitar, and easy to play! The resonance on this is amazing. I've owned a Baby Taylor and other small scale guitars in the past. None of them with that kind of resonance- the notes just sing out forever. The overall sound is excellent for a small-bodied guitar, not the sound of a full scale, but more than great for at home practice and playing with friends.
Overall value of everything I got was well worth the price. These guitars are more expensive than your standard "entry-level" guitar but much less expensive than the best out there, and yet it is closer to a higher end guitar. So, I'd say go for it if you've been watching videos on their website for while now."
"Received my Zager ZAD50ce yesterday and I'm having trouble putting it down. This is a beautiful quality guitar and my only regret is, I didn't get it sooner. If you are looking for a quality guitar you can't go wrong with a Zager, and their support is second to none. The tone and play ability of this guitar is far superior to other guitars I've played. If you are looking for a quality guitar, this is it! I have arthritis in my left (fretting) hand and this guitar lives up to it's EZ play reputation. Thank you Denny and everyone at Zager guitars!"
"I will admit that I was a bit nervous about purchasing a guitar without holding it and playing it a bit beforehand, but the Zager website Q&A and reviews plus a few YouTube videos of the guitar models made me feel better about pulling the trigger. I could not be happier that I did! My ZAD-50 was delivered today and out of the box (with just a little fine tuning) it was ready to play. The quality, craftsmanship, sound and playability of this instrument is equal to, and possibly even better than any Martin I’ve ever played. Simply an AWESOME guitar and I’m extremely happy I purchased this one instead of laying out A LOT more money for a Martin. The guitar arrived 4 days after I ordered it and was far beyond my expectations. The Zager family has been super helpful this past week with answering questions and keeping me informed on shipping status while I waited for my guitar to arrive. Thank you all and keep up the great work!!!"
"I just received my ZD80 Guitar last night and I can't put it down. I've only played it a few hours and I'm already in love with it. It is a beautiful instrument and truly is 'Easy Play'. I used to love my old Takamine but now my Zager is my go to! Thanks Zager for making such a great guitar!

I ordered the ZAD50CE in the sunburst. Very fast shipping. Fast and excellent communication via email. But in the email it includes phone #'s to reach them if you need anything at all. There's absolutely nothing negative to say about it! From top to bottom, it's gorgeous. Every inch of it is perfect. Playing it with out an amp sounds excellent. Plugged into my normal guitar amp..... it is incredible! Very user friendly. The electronics are great and the tuner is SUPER helpful and convenient. IT IS WORTH THE HYPE! Compared to other acoustic guitars, you'll be able to play a lot longer because it's so comfortable to play. I highly recommend that if someone is brand new to playing the guitar and prefers to learn on an acoustic, this definitely the perfect guitar for them. Over all........ I'm very impressed with the whole guitar and the Company!"
"The Zager Guitar company has been fantastic to deal with. I was able to watch their Youtube videos to help me decide which guitar would be the best fit for me. I ordered online and the customer service was great. I chose ZAD50CE Solid African Mahogany Acoustic Electric, and its perfect, I love it ! It sounds great, it looks great and it feels great when I play it! Thank you Zager guitars for such a good experience! I would definitely recommend them!

"Zager stands by their promise to make exchanges and returns easy and fair. I really loved the feel and tone of the ZAD20, but after all I wanted a cutaway, and improved features of the 50. The exchange was easy, the shipping was free, and the 50 is an amazing instrument - my 6th guitar. "
"Just received my Zager 900CE the other day. I own 2 Martin’s and 2 Alvarez’s and mostly perform with my Alvarez because of the narrow neck and my small hands and fingers. I have been playing since 1975 and found that the Alvarez fit my vocals in tone and neck size, but I am now a Zager fan. It truly is easier to play. It’s clear tone, great electronic pickup and neck size fits me perfectly. I was in the studio yesterday with the drummer and the recordings came out clear. I had it plugged in as well as an external mic and both added dimension to the recordings. If you are looking for an acoustic electric that is truly easier to play whether you are sitting in the studio or standing at the gig - this is the guitar and especially if your short fingered like me. One other note. I was especially impressed with the staff. They were quick to respond, answered all my questions before purchasing, and the shipment came quickly and without any issues. They followed up with everything"
"Received Zager 900 today. I compared with my Martin and frankly there is very little difference in tone and workmanship. The Zager has very well made upgrades such as abalone and maple binding.
The back and sides are not laminates as some suggest. I would recommend this guitar to anyone interested in a good value and playability in a guitar."
"Just got my Zager ZAD80CE Aura acoustic electric guitar and it’s just amazing , nothing like I have heard or played before ! And really suited me especially for someone with large Hands.Their customer service and shipping is the best.
I would recommend Zager anytime HANDS DOWN! "
"I've been playing for along time--a singer/songwriter who has a lot of classic guitars. The ZAGER 80CE OM with the AURA Pro that I received is fabulous. I'm into tone and the tone is incredible. Further, the fit, finish and customer service is first class. That Denny Zager is really on to something--something good!"
"The Zager guitar is everything I was hoping it to be. It plays wonderfully. I expect that over the next couple of months as it gets settled in it will continue to improve. I love the way I can easily adjust the action to suit my style. I have never had this in a guitar before. The workmanship is exceptional. The customer service is excellent and has made me a raving fan. Highly recommend this guitar and the company. You can't go wrong. They want you happy!"
"I am a new guitar player, as in 5 months new. I decided to get some of the Zager Guitar Pics, and they are fantastic. With my lack of experience, I ended up breaking two of them. When the folks at Zager Guitar found out, they replaced all of the ones I bought immediately with no questions asked. Not what I expected, but you can bet they have won a loyal customer with their super customer service. "
"Having played as a hobby for most of my life, I have owned many brands of guitar. As I have gotten older (I'm 60 now), with a bit of arthritis in my hands, I found myself playing less just because of the discomfort in my hands. Then I heard about Zager guitars. Not only does it have great tone, certainly comparable to other brands like Taylor that I have owned, the easy play action allows me to play for hours without hand and wrist pain. Buy this guitar, it's a great value and great guitar. Thanks Dennis!"
"I bought the 50-Om first and loved it. I wanted a travel size and bought the Parlor size for that reason. Both are fantastic sounding and absolutely beautiful. The ease of play is the best. No more fingers hurting from practice or playing songs. I would say if you want a great guitar at a reasonable price buy a Zager. That is all I will ever play now that I own a couple. They have one to fit anybodies needs. Thank you Mr. Zager for making such great guitars."
