"My new guitar looks great, plays great and sounds beautiful. The customer service is awesome. Highly recommended!!"
"Yay, my guitar arrived this evening! I had been checking my email daily for the shipping notice from FedEx but never got it so was really surprised when it arrived. It is a beautiful guitar--all I expected and more! I had been working outside most of the day, using pliers to take down a chain link fence. When I started to play, both hands started cramping so I couldn’t even enjoy it. I’m just sending this email to let you know that I got it and to thank you for the extras you included with my guitar. The packaging was great and it arrived undamaged. Fast forward one day...Man, this guitar plays nice! I'm no virtuoso by a long shot but I can make all the chords with ease. And the sound! I took it to church this evening to show off to a few of my friends. They were blown away, too! One plays a Martin and the other an Ovation. They said that my Opera model ZAD80CE sounded much better than theirs. I could not believe the sound projection and it wasn't even plugged in! Both of them played my guitar and loved the action. The tone stayed true and buzz-free all the way up the neck. One of them told me that he played several hammer-ons and pull-offs and could hear every one of them distinctly. I love this guitar! Thank you Mr. Zager and all of your employees. I'm going to recommend you to all my guitar playing friends and family. Jim Presley, Wichita Falls, Texas

"I have purchased two Zager guitars in the last few years, the most recent being the ZAD900CE. The quality of the guitars is excellent, as is the support from the company. I recently had a problem with the case (which is high quality, but was damaged during shipping). Zager handled the issue immediately, at no cost to me, and in the most friendly way. I can't recommend them enough. They are the real deal."
"I purchased a ZAD-50CE a few weeks ago. I love the guitar! It plays great, sounds great as both an acoustic and acoustic/electric, and Zager's customer service is like no one else's. I have a Martin D-28, and an Ovation Legend, both made around 1974. The Martin is something I always wanted and I thought the Ovation played better than any acoustic guitar I'd ever seen, but the Zager guitar's feel and action is the best. "
"After 2 attempts at learning guitar, I finally decided to give it a third try during the pandemic. I have fairly thick hands and fingers. Ultimately, I did extensive research and discovered Zager Guitars. I live under the motto "go big or go home", and as a result, I purchased the 50th Anniversary Edition. I couldn't be happier! What a joy to play, and sounds amazing!. My instructor agrees. I would say it makes me sound better and allows me to perform much easier than I should as a beginner due to its playability . I can only imagine what an aficionado would sound like! In fact, I loved the full size so much, I recently purchased a travel size in order to keep my new skills and calluses in good condition since I travel extensively.
In addition, the responsiveness and support from the Zager team is really quite impressive. In a time when customer service is often a forgotten element, the Zager service has been some of the best I have seen in years!

"I am a novice player, but I wanted to get into a tone wood guitar, so I started looking at various makers. I'm a huge fan of Billy Strings and so Preston Thompson was top of my list. I found Zager's website, and immediately appreciated all the info they had available on how the guitars were made, the differences in set up, wood used, and demo videos of not just stars playing the guitars, but also videos from newer players like me. I decided to take a chance on Denny Sr. and Jr, and order a 900CE. The service and communication throughout the order and build process was excellent. Denny Jr. personally responded to a lot of my questions, and even switched my order to the 900EVS when I decided against the cut-away model.
The guitar arrived on time and the case is top notch and includes a humidifier. The sounds this thing puts out is absolutely beautiful, from strumming to picking. Just such a rich sound already and the wood is still green. It's very comfortable to play standing or sitting and the feeling is so much different than my other guitars. The online reviews are legit. I'm extremely happy with my purchase of this guitar, and grateful for a price point that will not end my marriage. I'm also a business owner, so beside a very nice guitar, I have been impressed with how well run Zager is as a small business, and the great levels of service and attention they provide."
"My ZAD900 Acoustic Electric Guitar is absolutely awesome. Playability, tone and Quality are just perfect. This guitar is my companion for life!!"
"I received a beautiful guitar with an amazing sound and an awesome set of accessories and trainings to boot! Denny sure has a truly insightful and innovative approach to what he's doing and creates such exceptional value for guitarists. You won't find this kind of value at any of the typical retail guitar stores like Guitar Center..."
"This is the greatest company to work with and has outstanding service. I've had my Zager for about one year now and thoroughly enjoy playing it at home or with my Western band here in NC. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a guitar not to buy one until you have checked out Zager's website."
"I am writing to say I truly love my Zager ZAD80CE OM. The guitar with its cedar top and abalone is beautiful. It also has solid rosewood back and sides which is good looking and makes for a better resonating guitar. The guitar already sounds beautiful and with age will only sound better. Zager's customer service is outstanding and most of the time I hear from the owners son directly.
The response time is also amazing in how fast Zager Guitar responds to my questions. I am very happy with my purchase and it has moved into my most played guitar position. "
"I have been playing guitar for 38 years. I bought my first Zager yesterday after returning my Taylor 314CE Builder's Edition to Guitar Center because it did not have a full enough sound to be my main acoustic. I played all their high-end guitars a few days earlier but decided to see if they got anything new in stock.
The only "new" guitar that wasn't there when I bought my Taylor was a used Zager 900CE. A what? I never heard of them but when I played it, the sound blew me away.
Not only was the full-body tone beautiful, it played like a dream. I was sold within a minute of playing it. For fun, I played other guitars in the room, some that were twice the cost of this Zager (even a new one) and the hands-down, the Zager crushed the other guitars.
My only regret is I had to wait for 39 years of playing guitar to find the best acoustic guitar I have ever played or heard.
I can't recommend Zager guitars more. The sound and their service will blow you away. "
"My experience with Zager Guitars has been better than I could have expected! I am a novice player just less than three months into lessons. My first guitar was a Classic Fender acoustic.
I saw the Zager "Easy Play" add at just the right time. Even with good callus', I had cut a couple sessions short from excessive pain playing the high strings. I also was experiencing thumb pain from how hard I had to press to get my bar chords not to buzz. Zager is the only guitar builder I had heard of that offers ergonomic solutions for the same problems I was experiencing.
The video information Denny has available covers every question I could come up with. All of the issues I was having as a novice have been addressed in the design of his guitars, resulting from the years of personal experience in his own career as a player.
My evaluation included ergonomic design explanations, what the model options were comparing performance and cost, service, and warranty. I purchased the
ZAD-800MCE LH AURA/N on a Thursday morning and received shipment on the following Tuesday. The many reviews also available, comparing the playability, sound, and craftsmanship of other manufacturers to the Zager, was icing on the cake for me. When displayed on it's stand, I consider it the first real piece of fine art that I have owned! There is a notable difference in how long I can play, and how much pressure is needed to produce a desired sound. Hands down, the most "sound Investment" I'll ever need to make! "
"Over the past 40 years I have owned numerous acoustic guitars, including Martin, Alvarez, Epiphone, and Ibanez. Recently I received a Zager 900OME. It was everything I expected and more!. First, the case which came with the guitar is solid, luxurious on the inside and a perfect fit for the instrument. The beauty and craftsmanship of the guitar are exquisite. The sound of the guitar is rich; however, it is the ease of playing that is most amazing. Everything that is said about Zager guitars is true! Denny Zager, his son and staff, have produced a masterpiece. If you are searching for a new guitar, you must consider a Zager.
Customer service is the best. The product is outstanding. I could not be more pleased! I give Zager guitars the highest recommendation!"
"Seriously there should be 10 stars instead of 5.Of all the people I've had to deal with over the years ( been playing guitar since I was 16... so 51 years...and counting) the Zager experience has been the best of them all. And the crazy thing is I've never even met them in person. YET.
THey are so professional and helpful with even the most minor of questions and I can tll you that is a relief concidering some of the cold hearted salesman you run across at the bigger chains with massive overhead.
Dennis is making the easiest playing guitar I've ever held and they sound really great as well.
am the proud owner now of a ZAD900-CE 6 string and also a ZAD900-CE 12 string. Both are tremendous sounding and easy playing. When I recieved both I immediately examined them and there is not a flaw in both sound quality and appearance.
Thank you Zager family for making an old man falling inlove with guitar playing again.

"I just received my zad80ce and couldn’t be happier. The sound is much richer than my Taylors and Fenders. Definitely my new favorite guitar. Dealing with Zager was great. They make you feel like one or the family. If you’re in the market for a new guitar, try a Zager. You won’t be disappointed!"
