The Zager ZAD 50CE works for my limitations
I've owned the Zager ZAD 50CE for about 5 years and have been happy with its construction, ease of playing and amplified sound. My hands are small and my fingers short so it was important to find a quality instrument that would fit my limitations. The Zager guitar (which I use weekly for worship) meets my needs. Highly recommend.

This guitar is exactly what is said to…
This guitar is exactly what is said to be. It sounds great, plays easy. The strings are gently on my old fingers. It’s the perfect size too. It shipped exactly when it was supposed to. This is my second Zager Guitar and I love them both.

I have taken up the guitar again at 80 years old and Zaeger has been the best option I could have chosen. The 900 Guitar is superb and the service at Zaeger is second to none I have experienced. I also love Dennis' lessons and have been learning the finger patterns. I would highly recommend them .

long experienced guitarist that was rescued by buying a Zager Guitar
I am a long experienced guitarist that started playing at age 11 and am now 74 years old. I have owned a lot of guitars (mostly Gibsons) and I started playing professionally when I was in my teens. I am active as a worship leader in multiple fellowships and am the leader/manager in a Christian Blues Band called Blud Bros. In January of 2024 I had a stroke which robbed me of my ability to use my left hand confidently. I has been heartbreakingly painful to have been weak in my playing since that time. In March I purchased a ZAD 900 Zager Guitar. On receiving that guitar I began playing it and was overwhelmed by how much of my original playing ability was restored. I am back to being able to lead worship by myself again and the practice that I got on my Zager has been so helpful that I am now able to play on my other guitars , which I couldn't do on my other guitars well enough to have any confidence. This Zager guitar has restored my confidence in my ability to play. This is truly a gift from God! Thank you for making this guitar

Zager ZAD50CE guitar is a great instrument!
I just received my Zager ZAD50CE guitar and it arrived in perfect condition! (I had purchased it from the "Scratched and Dented" sale page.) It was listed as having had a crack in it and the repair was so well done that you can't tell it ever had a problem.I am a beginner guitar player (at 65) with wide fingertips and had been struggling with another guitar that had a narrow nut. The Zager has a wide nut (about 1.7") and it is so much easier to play without buzzing or muting the strings. It also has a beautiful tone to go along with the amazing craftsmanship. I was somewhat worried about not being able to try it first, but the money back guarantee makes it a low risk. It's a beautiful instrument and I have no regrets. Plus, it came with so many extras, that it's almost insane!

I love my Zager guitar
I love my Zager guitar! The sound is unmatched next to all of my other high quality guitars. It has a richness on stage, that I don't get from any my other guitars.

I'm a 70 year old guitar player
I'm a 70 year old guitar player and I've been playing for over 50 years. I recently received a ZAD 80 CE. This instrument is beautifully crafted and sounds great. It sounds and plays better than my Martin. The on-board Fishman Electronics are superior to anything I have used. This guitar is truly an easy play which is important to me and I believe other's will say the same.

Product still en route
I am editing my previous review, which was not good, as I didn't understand the process of buying a guitar from Zager. I am updating my review, to say that the staff at Zager have been good about responding to my concerns, and although I have not yet received my guitar, I look forward to getting it, and am confident that I will love it!

Zager Acoustic Guitar ZAD900CE
The acoustic/electric guitar I just received from Zager Guitars is the ZAD900CE with Sitka Spruce in Natural finish on the front and Rosewood on the back and sides. This is a very beautiful guitar with a finish that is so clean and smooth that you just don't want to touch it at first. It will not take you long before you will not want to put it down. On the first strum the sound is about as perfect as it can get. The strings just sing!Zager Guitars produce extremely nice instruments that will give player of all levels a great music making experience.

First experience has brought me back again!
First, I was unsure of which exact model I wanted - so I vacillated and dithered after receiving my ZAD900CE. The Zager folks repeatedly wrote that they would gladly exchange my model for another with no shipping or reasoning aside from not liking my original choice. They also sold me my guitar at 0% interest, and when I mistakenly thought my pre amp was bad they immediately sent a new one & agreed to pay for its installation. So impressive an operation that, after 3 years, I intend to buy a ZAD900CEOM as soon as another is in stock! The ZAD900CE truly is compatible to my Martin HD 28! I have no complaints whatsoever about Zager products or service!

Zad900CE review
The Zager team was very helpful keeping me informed of the status of my guitar. Since it was back ordered it took take a while to get it. Once the guitar showed up it was it was as advertised and i am happy with the guitar. I currently play a Taylor and have for a few years. The Zager sounds as good or better and is a beautiful guitar, fit and finish is great.

Zager 900 series guitar
I bought a used Zager 900 from the brother of the original owner. I knew nothing about Zager other than what I researched online after seeing the ad on Craigslist. I perform locally and was looking for a guitar with this feature set, and was impressed with it's construction quality, components and, most of all, playability. I immediately liked the neck in my hand, the easy action, and the evenness of its acoustic response. The Fishman aura system proved itself at my first gig with the guitar this last weekend. The house was full of musicians, many of whom commented on how good the Zager sounded thru the PA. The questions I posed to Zager via email were answered immediately, and their customer service was, frankly, amazing to me. I think this guitar offers a huge value for it's price.....I don't think acoustically it is the match for real high end guitars, but then this is a solid wood guitar that appears to have not been played since it was built in 2018, and it has very light strings (.11s) so maybe a lot of time playing it, and heavier strings will open it up even further. It still sound wonderful the way it is. Again, a fabulous guitar for the money.

I love my Zager Guitars!
I have been playing electric guitars since I was a teenager, and I am now 71. I love the sound of an acoustic guitar, but I could never find one that felt comfortable for me to play. I have owned three high end Taylors but traded them in on electrics because I just couldn't play the things that I wanted on them. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to buy another acoustic. The shop I went to had Taylor, Gibson, and Martin acoustics which all looked great and were very expensive. I was convinced that I would finally find an acoustic that would be a keeper. After looking at and playing a number of them, I came home with a Gibson Les Paul Gold Top. None of those acoustic guitars I tried had the feel and sound I was looking for. I had given up on having a nice acoustic when a year ago, my wife mentioned she had read about Zager guitars. I was skeptical about buying a guitar that I could not play first but the Zager guarantee stated that the guitar could be returned if it didn't meet expiations. My wife said if I wanted, I could get a Zager for Christmas last year. We picked the ZAD80CE Aura and I was amazed when it arrived. It was everything I had been looking for in an acoustic all those years. The looks, sound, and payability are amazing. I love the truss rod that easily allows setting the string action without filing the nut or bridge. I was so impressed that we added a beautiful ZAD900CE as well. Per the Zager staff recommendation I purchased a Fishman Performer acoustic amp which pairs perfectly with their guitars. Both Zagers are keepers and will stay in my family when I can no longer play them.

Zager is Top of the Line
Denny and Dennis Zager are absolutely the greatest people to work with! When I decided to order my guitar, Dennis kept in touch with me throughout the process! I had a few questions and Dennis was very quick to answer my questions and then followed up after I received my guitar to ensure customer satisfaction! ABSOLUTE BEST Customer Service I've ever encountered! My Guitar is an amazing piece of craftsmanship! Absolutely beautiful. I've shopped Martin, Taylor, Fender and Gibson as well as other high-end brands and I have not found any of them that put in the attention to materials and detail until you get into double and triple the price point. I have played my 1973 D25 Guild for over 30 years, and I have found the Zager to be my new go to even though I'll never stop playing my Guild. Any Negative review about customer service is very difficult to believe because Dennis Zager ISTHE representative. Denny Zager inspects and signs every single guitar. He is meticulous.

my new Zager ZAD 80CEA
I received my new Zager ZAD 80CEA about a week ago (on time) and cannot put it down. I had been playing a 25 year old BlueRidge and the difference in playability was amazing. The tones are rich and deep (exactly what I was looking for) and I understand will get even better with age. I can't wait! The service I received was second to none. I thoroughly checked the guitar for flaws and found none. Denny and his crew did an amazing job. The quality of their work is superb! I recommend this companty and their guitars to anyone looking for quality and playability at an affordable price!

The truth .
At first I was curious but unsure . I decided to give them a chance . They quickly won me over . You get a high quality acoustic guitar and the company can be trusted .

Beautiful rich sounding Parlor
I have 4 Taylor guitars. 914ce, 614ce, 512e, T5. I like the easy play of the Taylor. I had heard of Zagar guitars but NEVER had a chance to play one. I did not know how easy it was to return one if I didn’t like it. My bad. Anyhow, I recently visited a guitar center in Daytona Beach. I happen to see a Zager Parlor guitar. I could not believe how easy it was to play. My wife is 5 foot tall short arms and small fingers. She likes to play the 512e, but has trouble making barre chords and most caged chords. I brought he back to the store the next day. She tried the Parlor guitar and started smiling. She could make chords easily. The action was so low that she did not have to press so hard to make the chord sound correctly. The tone of the Parlor is very nice rich and full of body. I am sorry I did not try one of your guitars before now.. I bought the Parlor for my wife. Little did I know it also came with a hard case, unlike your typical hard case. This case is made for travel and it has a built in hydrometer. For me the case is worth over a couple of hundred dollars. I really got a great deal on this guitar. Thank you for making such a fine guitar.

My Zager guitar
I have owned a Zager easy play guitar for over a year. It has been a life changer. Before I purchased the Zager, the diabetic neuropathy was so bad in my hands I quit playing.I know play an hour a day and play in church (not that good, but the guitar gives me great pleasure.Thank you, Mr. Zager and your crew.FRED PEASLEY

I have been texting you guys the last…
I have been texting you guys the last few days regarding a Zager 900N that is up for auction in this area.The only reason I checked out your website is because the Zager 900N was nestled in between 5 Martin guitars in the same auction. I wondered why a Zager (which I never heard of before...) was up for bid among the Martins?I soon found out. Zager boasts of paralleling if not exceeding top brand guitars in sound, beauty, and playability. Denny is not wrong.I have a couple of top name dreadnaughts which I am very fond of. I like them all. As I grow older I have more problems with mechanics and length of playing. Zager has solved both of those problems for me...ease of play and because of that length of play.I was fortuante enough to win the 900N at the auction.On Zager's website they mentioned all of the above features and added that "....if you ever come across one (Zager) get it."Now I understand why the owner of the auction had the Zager 900N amongst the Martins. It deserves a place along side the high end guitars. I didn't say above or below but along side.This is truly a well made guitar with impeccable attention to detail, craftsmanship, and playability.You will have your "only Martin" or "only Gibson" or Breedlove or Taylor people...That's fine, however, to have a Zager guitar amongst the others you will find yourself going to the Zager often.I know I will be getting a lot of 'Oooos and Ahhhhs' from this fine instrument.Incidently, I was prepared to buy the same model guitar online at Zager's site had I not won the auction. I was already sold.Thanks Zager900N obtained through auction...William RElizabeth, IN
