"I was hesitant to get a guitar through the mail, not played, never seen one, all that. Well, it arrived with a free case, strings, capo, picks, hygrometer in the case, and a tuner - oh yeah, 4 packs of strings. The Guitar - Peaches - sounded great right out of the case. It sounded as if it had been seasoned for several years. It came with Fishman electrics which sound great. Every gig I play, someone wants to know about that guitar. I usually let them play a bit so they can see how great these guitars are.

"After 67 years of professional playing and instruction, I can confirm without reservation that the Zager coated strings are everything the Zagers' claim. The tonal quality and intonation are perfect while actually providing easier playing and finger comfort. My ever increasing arthritic fingers are no longer a concern with the Zager strings because they compensate for this problem. In my experience, the Zagers' have been very responsive to my inquiries and a joy to communicate with. It's refreshing to know that in a world of corporate to customer apathy, there really is a company that is honest and professional. I am so impressed with the strings and Zager's responsiveness that I have ordered one of their guitars site unseen---something that as a rule I would have never done before with any manufacturer. "
"I received my ZAD50CE-MHGY back in June 2021. Waited several months because of the model selected, but it was well worth the wait. The guitar looks and sounds great right out of the box. I am an older player and have some arthritis in my hands and needed a guitar that had a light touch and was easy to play. The Zager is perfect. I lowered the action a bit and the guitar maintained intonation. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to the slight difference in the string spacing, but now I love it. I have 4 guitars to choose from and I always pick up the Zager first (and usually stay with it). I grabbed my previous acoustic recently to compare and couldn't believe how hard it was to play. Not an inexpensive guitar, but I sold it because I knew I would no longer play it now that I have the Zager.
Quality, value and service from Zager have been great. Send an email any day and get a response almost immediately. Easy to communicate and eager to please. I have never owned a Martin or a Taylor, but it would take a lot to get me to change. Not going to happen. I highly recommend Zager."
"Just received my new Zad900OME guitar and it just blows me away! I absolutely love everything about it. It tuned up quickly & intonation is perfect. Why buy a Martin or Taylor or even a Takamine when these are just as good or I think much better & easier to play!
Save $$$ & buy yours today! "
"I've played guitar for 55 years. I've played Takamine, Taylors, Martins, Gibson, Fender, and Guild. My ZAD80 CE really is the easiest playing guitar I've ever picked up. The materials and workmanship are excellent and the instrument is absolutely beautiful. But the best part is the perfect tone and intonation, and that warm mellow cedar top perfect for fingerstyle, yet responsive and powerful enough for pick strumming. It was very well worth the 4 month wait. The Zager team was outstanding in their support and care and communications throughout the entire purchase process.
This is truly a professional grade instrument made by a professional player. After playing this guitar for a week, I would have expected to have paid $4K-$6K for this instrument...!!
This likely may not be the last Zager I Buy."
"I have owned Martins, Guilds and many other brands but after my first Zager saw another one for sale used and snapped it up. It was a well used and older model and I noticed a tuning machine was loose and giving me trouble. I sent Zager a note asking what they recommend and they sent me replacement s immediately. Who else provides not only a great sounding and playable guitar but also service like this? "
"Mr. Zager,
I am writing to thank you for the beautiful guitar you made for me. My husband Scott, ordered it for my birthday, and I couldn't be more pleased.
Communication with your company was excellent during the time for the guitar to be made and shipped. It was truly worht the wait.
I have played since I was 12, and I own 6 additional guitars, but this became my favorite from the first time I played it.
The Zad-50CE is a blessing. I haven't played much guitar for awhile due to surgery and arthritis, but this instrument truly enables me to play again for longer periods and more exact playing.
The craftsmanship is outstanding , the sound is amazing and the newer technology is user friendly.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you have done. Once again thank you and God Bless,
Rose Dyer"
"I am a proud owner of a Zager Easy Play ZAD-900 MCE AURA/N Guitar. This guitar has a beautiful rich sound and close-consistent play action. Coupled with the easy play string spacing I can focus more time on improving my guitar playing. I had been playing a Martin 000C-6RGTE Cutaway Auditorium with the Aura System for many years. My new Zager guitar is noticeably easier to get good crisp and clear chord sounds. I had been following Zager easy play guitars on the internet and often considered purchasing one. Finally earlier this year Zager offered a free accessory package with the purchase of a guitar. That was the incentive I needed for me to order this guitar. I ordered the ZAD-900 over other Zager guitars to get a better quality sound. I am glad I did.
A drawback was that I had to wait for Zager to manufacture my guitar. I was expecting to have to wait three months to get my guitar; It took over four months. Delivery was impacted by the Virus Pandemic. After paying up front for the guitar I thought I would get status updates along the way. They did respond quickly with status after I enquired toward the end of the third month. My guitar was finally received without the accessory items or a status when they would be delivered. Upon an enquiry, I was advised of supply issues. I receive the incentive accessory package a few day later."
"excellent guitar. gorgeous, sounds incredible. easy playability. the best of the best my zad900ce.
I am bery happy with it"
"As a several times over failed beginner musician my wife's Chinese guitar got me started but, it wasn't going to help me succeed. Born in 1957 have followed Folk and Alt. Country forever. I have several friends/fraternity brothers who are really good musicians. My ZAD-50, gave me a beautiful sounding instrument, American made, and all of the aesthetics in the World. Free hardshell case and leather strap was gravy. I doubt there is a better price/value guitar line out there. PS Eay Play is real!"
"I purchased my Zager ZAD900CE nearly two years ago. I was a child on Christmas morning when it arrived (albeit a slightly older child). This was as rich a sounding guitar as I have ever found. I dug right into Mr. Zager's lessons library (which deserve high praise in their own right) and started making what sounded like a song. I followed Mr. Zager's tutelage and lo... it became music! Over the past two years, my ZAD900CE has only gotten better with age... one day I hope to do as well. Mr. Zager has always been a bit of a national treasure in American music and particularly in the field of guitar design. I could not be more please and proud to actually have an instrument that he actually designed, played and signed! It's an heirloom piece to be sure."
"With out a doubt the best guitar business to deal with on this planet ! I have never dealt with any business in this world we live in today that is more giving, responsive, and understanding than ZAGER !! You simply can't go wrong if you put your faith and needs in this company !"
"I ordered my Zager guitar online in April. I had never purchased a guitar this way and was hesitant, especially given the lead time in receiving the instrument. I exchanged emails every couple of weeks asking for updates, and true to their word, I had a reply within 30 minutes.
I received the guitar last week, and it is a beauty - I emailed Dennis Jr. and inquired about the action. I took it to my instructor and luthier on Tuesday. He was genuinely amazed at the quality and said he was envious that a guitar with the construction and sound of the Parlor for $795 could be made in today's market. We lowered the action a bit, and I have to say I was delighted with the sound. I have also tried using my slide, and it is a charm on this guitar.
Thanks to all the folks at Zager.
Proud to have purchased a guitar "Made in the USA!"
Here is a picture. Forgive the mess at my office - I teach at the college here in Virginia and just finished up class. I keep this beauty right by my side so I can pick her up anytime.

"I received my first Zager guitar yesterday and am blown away with the quality, sound, craftsmanship, and the professional staff that kept me updated throughout the process and promptly answered all my questions. "
"I just received my ZAD50 CEOM and it is a well made guitar. I am very pleased with my purchase. Even though it took a little longer to receive it due to supply chain breakdowns it was worth the wait. I highly recommend Zager guitars."
