"I am 77 years old and over 5 years ago developed some hand problems that caused me to stop playing. Even after a couple of years of therapy I could no longer depress the strings on my Martin D28 to produce a clear chord. I recently came across the webste of Zager guitars with their claims of ease of play, 100% money back Guarantee plus a lifetime warrenty. So, I sold my Martin, studied the various Zager models, settled on the ZAD80 and punched the buy button. I couldn't be more pleased. The guitar is beautiful and plays just as Mr. Zager said it would. So, I'm playing again and with what is most likely my last guitar."

"What a wonderful guitar, and the sound and playability is unreal!!! I will definitely get another Zager!!!"

"I had never physically seen or touched a Zager, so it was a leap of faith to hit that purchase button and await the arrival. I am SO VERY HAPPY that I did, and were I wealthy, I'd do it again. :) Always good to have a back-up, right?!
Now to the nitty gritty details: I am 5'2" , on a good day... with heels. I took advantage of the helpful videos on Zager's website, and with their help was able to select the OM model. It is an absolutely perfect fit! I have played the piano, fiddle, and mandolin for years, but I am a beginning guitar student. I was about to give up, I was so very frustrated. I was taking advantage of my siblings dreadnoughts, trying to come to terms with one of them, and it just was not working. Sadly, I didn't realize that it was because the instruments were too large, and were not set up for beginners. I just thought I was hopeless. I was tearing up my fingertips on their high actions, (even with my existing callouses) and was plagued with hand cramps as I struggled to strengthen and gain more flexibility in my hand and wrist. I nearly had a meltdown when my teacher introduced bar chords. Seriously, nearly threw the towel in. I even purchased those stupid silicone fingertip guards, that's how desperate I was. So, while I was really struggling with the chords and scales, I was also failing miserably to set up decent strumming patterns. I'd no sooner get in the groove, then my right hand would drift down near the saddle. It was very stiff, and awkward sounding, with no consistency. Again, I assumed that it was because I was failing to split my concentration between the two hands. My first lesson - last week - with my Zager was euphoric! I never would have imagined what a difference this new guitar would make. Do you know that I can keep up a strumming rhythm?! It is so easy and natural, and my hand just naturally stays where it is supposed to over the sound hole. I can reach it! Amazing. So much freer and more natural. Here's the kicker, I am actually happy to practice, instead of fighting pain and frustration every time I pick up a guitar. I am flying through bar chords that I had already secretly determined to cheat my way out of! As for the customer service, they are really firing on all cylinders. I am so very impressed. I contacted Zager thru email with a question on my invoice, and they responded almost immediately. And their response was incredibly kind and generous. They certainly went above and beyond, and I am most grateful. I have been dragging this guitar with me everywhere I go, and telling all who will listen that they really do need a Zager in their life!"

"I love Zager guitars, having purchased my first Zager, a ZAD-80CE, in 2007. I found Zager guitars to be such wonderful instruments that I sold a 40 year-old Martin D-21 made with Brazilian hardwood after purchasing the ZAD-80CE. Even though my Martin was 40 years old, the new Zager sounded so much better, along with being easier to play, that I thought it best to pass the D-21 on to someone who would continue to enjoy it. I later bought a used ZAD-50CE as a traveling and back up guitar. Four months ago I decided to splurge, purchasing a ZAD-900CE. My only hesitation in purchasing any new guitar that cost $2000-$5000, which is what I had been looking at, was the cost; but I have a wonderful wife who said that music gives me such enjoyment, that I should allow myself a gorgeous instrument as my retirement gift to myself. What a beautiful instrument! I can’t say enough about it. I play mostly fingerstyle, including a little Celtic, and find Zager’s to have very even volume across all six strings, so the sound feels very balanced. As a fingerstyle player, I really appreciate the even volume and balanced tonal quality. My wife is not a musician, but as soon as I started playing the 900 she exclaimed how it sounded even better than the 80, which is what I usually played. Over the years I have played more expensive instruments with one of my favorite being a McPherson, but the least expensive McPherson that I could find last year when I decided to indulge in a more expensive guitar was over $9000 . . . and was sitting in a music store 800 miles away. With both Zagers purchased from Zager Guitars, shipping was prompt. I will also add that I have found their customer service to be first rate. Their guarantee that you can return an instrument for a full refund should give you some confidence that if after receiving a guitar and trying it you find that it does not meet your expectations, you can ship it back. I would bet that players rarely take them up on their guarantee. (The only negative I can provide is not about Zager or Zager guitars, but about Fishman. When I tried to download software updates for the pre-amp/tuner from Fishman, my antivirus software blocked it. I contacted Fishman requesting guidance, but they never responded. The pre-amp/tuner works fine; I play at a lot of open mic nights, so having a pre-amp really simplifies plugging into the venues’ sound systems. Not having the downloads isn’t a problem, but the lack of response from Fishman was a disappointment. This would not inhibit me from buying another Zager guitar if I needed or wanted one. I still rate Zager 5 stars.) I hope this review is helpful to you. If you do try a Zager, I think you will be very impressed, especially at their prices. In my experience, the compare to well known guitars that cost 2-3 times as much, if not more. I have thoroughly enjoyed my Zagers, and continue to enjoy them almost daily. Believe me, you will get a great instrument for a great price!"

" 3/22/18 Zager guitar is the best guitar I own. My brother loves his Zager guitar too because he has large hands and the way the Zager guitar is
designed, the luthier spaces the strings and gives a little more room for your fingers and it has made a huge difference because my brother's hands were hurting and now he has the Zager 90CE Aura and loves it and Zager has taken that hurt away and has made playing a Zager guitar easy and now he plays longer with comfortability. The sound is beautiful and Zager adds the Fishman electronics so you can access Fishman library for imaging and all you need is a Fishman preamp.

I have Parlor CE acoustic guitar and it's beautiful and the right size for me as I'm 5'1 and it feels very comfortable to have smaller guitar. I love it.
I also loved the sound, tone, mellowness of the Zager 80 CE OM Guitar and I just had to have to add to my collection and I'm looking forward to getting it. I can't wait.

Zager Guitars are absolutely brilliant and the prices of these guitars are more than fair as they would be more costly buying in a store. The Zager web has everything you need in a great guitar. The benefits of lower prices and prices discounted. The Lifetime warranty. The craftsmanship most of all and the other are great benefits that Zager Guitar offers. They are very nice business people and I had an excellent business experience as they go out of their way to answer any questions you have immediately. I love my Zager Guitar. I'm so happy I found Zager Guitar's.

"I've been trying to learn guitar for decades, but I never properly searched for the right guitar to learn on. I have now invested in the Zagar e-zplay parlor guitar and it's just perfect! It's a bit smaller (good for my medium female frame) and it really is "easier" to play. Not sure how they do it, but that makes me want to spend more time playing and learning guitar. The "hype" is real on this guitar, but it's really wonderful for a beginner and for a woman. It's also beautiful and sounds great. I wish I had purchased this guitar a long time ago! I must also mention the wonderful, personal attention I received from the company. Immediate, personal email response to my order and to every email I have sent them. They really care about their guitars and the people who purchase them. The entire experience dealing with Zanger has been a pleasure."

"I'm retired and was looking for a guitar but I didn't want to pay any exorbitant prices. I've been a 5-string banjo and bass player most of my musical career but now I wanted to take up guitar.I found out about Zager guitars on the Ultimate Guitar web site and after some moderate research decided to give them a shot.I decided on the ZAD50/Satin guitar and at the time they were running a nice little promo package to go with it. I dealt with Dennis Zager,Jr. the entire time and he couldn't have been more helpful.From the time I placed the order to delivery date,it was four days.Everything arrived safe and sound without a snag.By the way shipping was free. The guitar itself easily surpassed all of my expectations.Tone quality seems to actually improve the more I play it.I've played on Taylors and Martins owned by friends of mine and the Zager easily gives them a run for the money.As far as neck action I was also extremely pleased.Every aspect of my Zager Guitar experience has been positive and gratifying.Each day I look forward to playing my new Zager and I thank the crew at Zager Guitar for that opportunity."
