05/05/2009 Denny, So, here I am to testify. I wanted the quality of a decent Martin or Taylor, but did not have $1,700 to spend, I had $900. I went hunting on ebay hoping to get good workmanship at a reasonable price. After cross checking your guitars on Harmony Central (which I will now swear by) I found reviews that indicated exactly what you mention on your site. High end Martin Quality at 1/4 the price. I was also intrigued that your string spacing was wider. I have wider fingers and have had difficulty catching all strings cleanly for a few years. I have always said that it only takes 30 seconds to know if a guitar is worth buying. My friend, you're guitar is flat out unbelievable. It was in tune out of the box (and it was a cold trip from from what I could tell). I was a bit worried by the 15% volume loss you noted in going with the OM, but I find that your guitar is 20% louder than the Jumbo I just sold! Not to mention the playability is off the chart. Testify? Can I get an Amen?! The kindest regards,

05/02/2009 My cubicle mate Paul Stevens (and performing partner) just received his new ZAD-50CE, and after passing it around a bit so we could all play it, only one word would suffice: WOW! I don't think I have ever played an acoustic guitar that was set up to play so effortlessly! I was really impressed with both the action and the sound. Being in the office, we didn't have any amp to try it with, but from Paul's description, it sounds like the electronics are good as well. The built-in tuner is a nice little feature as well. I can definitely see us adding an acoustic set to our performance package now that we will be able to play as effortlessly as with our strats. I never thought that would be possible! Bottom line: expect an order from me at the end of next week... I've earmarked part of my annual bonus to go towards one of your fine guitars!

04/30/2009 I have rheumatoid arthritis and have found my Zager 50CE OM to be a godsend .. I've been a Taylor 801 owner for many years, but since being diagnosed, have found it more and more difficult to play the last several years. My Zager is so easy to play, I can go for 3 hours without any pain or stiffness. In addition, the smaller body helps my right shoulder, which sustained a rotator cuff injury 9 years ago. The only thing that gets tired now is my voice, as I almost always sing when I play! After 7 months of owning my guitar, I've noticed he tone has gotten even warmer and richer, and I have received many compliments on the instrument's beautiful craftsmanship. Many thanks again!

04/30/2009 Mr. Zager, I currently own a ZAD 50CE and words could not describe how much I like this instrument. Whatever you have figured out on how to brace/build and work the miracle of your string science is nothing short of amazing. After playing your ZAD and then comparing it to guitars from the BIG manufacture's (with big price tags!) one must wonder how they've managed to be successful--building a beautiful wood instrument only to blow it by putting the strings on! I am currently saving up for a ZAD 80... bottom line is the sound, presence, sustain and playability of my ZAD beats anything else I've ever touched hands down! please keep an 80 in the "wings" for me. Lastly, is there any way for me to purchase a dozen of so of your Zager picks? I know I can get picks anywhere but they wouldn't say Zager on them. A proud ZAD owner,

04/24/2009 Good Morning, Mr. Zager, I just wanted to let you know that my new guitar arrived safely and is exactly as you promised...BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for answering all of my questions and helping with my choice. It was a pleasure dealing with a company who is so customer oriented. Thanks again.

04/23/2009 BRAVO! Wow! How do I start? I just played my new Zager ZAD 50CE at worship this Sunday with a Marshall AS50D acoustic amp. It changed the dynamics of our whole worship team! (for the better). So many compliments afterward. Thank you Zager guitars! I am one satisfied customer and I'm spreading the word to my musician friends. Expect some more sales, they'll tell you Brent sent them.

04/20/2009 Hi Dennis.........just got my new ZAD 80 out of the box.....WOW!!!! I must admit I was a little skeptical, but in less than a half hour, I am now a full endorsee of the Zager guitar line! I will spread the word to anybody looking for a high end guitar and tell them they don't have to spend $3,000.00. Again..........WOW!!!! Also, Thanks for the Martin case! I was not expecting that! I wish I could somehow leave you feedback on e-bay, but I purchased it via phone from your sales department. Thanks so much for a great buying experience!

04/20/2009 WOW! WOW! WOW! If that could sum it up, then let it be! I puchased the Zad 80-CE This week and played it live last night in front of 300 people, they were more than pleased. Every guitar player in the club had to have a go at it! I have never been so impressed with a piece of woodwork, as much as i am with this one! I want to thank you for the lack of stress to my hands and for the ability to make me sound like a million dollars! GO ZAGER!!!!

04/17/2009 Dear Denny and Denny, Jr. - It's been almost two years since I began to study Zager Guitar and exactly one year since I became the proud owner of a ZAD-80. The guitar has begun to open up and it sounds better as the playing hours pile up. Even more important is the fact that my mind is opening up as well. I can do this. I am doing this. I played the same five songs on my acoustic guitar for thirty years before zagerguitar.com inspired me to get busy and move on. To anyone out there who wants to play guitar well, I say; nowhere in the world will you find a better value for a high-quality, smooth-playing guitar than you will at zagerguitar.com. With regard to the quality of instruction and the sincere commitment to customer service, you can't do better anywhere at any price.

04/14/2009 Denny, Thanks so much for all the "goodies" in the case. They are absolutely awesome and much appreciated. Zager Guitar is a first class company, and I appreciate the attention to detail and customer service. The ZAD-80CE sounds warm and wonderful unplugged, and can't wait to get it into an amp and strum away. Thanks again,

04/12/2009 Hello Denny, I received my new ZAD 50 acoustic-electric (black) guitar on Thursday 9/20/07. What a beautiful instrument! The high gloss black finish is absolutely gorgeous. I am almost afraid to pick it up and play it for fear of scratching the guitar. But obviously I did buy it to play and I must say that your String Science is everything you claim it to be. I have been playing guitar on and off since I was 15 years old (I am now 54) but really never got good at it. Looking back I now realize that part of the problem was the guitars that I was using. They were all solid body electrics (no name brands). I never realized the importance of string spacing and low actions. In all those years I was never able to play a B7 or A chord without having one or more strings buzzing from my fingers touching them. But guess what? With my new ZAD 50 I can now play those chords with a very clean sound, and also play barr chords that used to give me fits trying to get those to sound nice and clean. The resonance and clean sound of this guitar just rocks! I haven’t plugged it into my amp yet because I am having so much fun with it unplugged. I signed up for a years worth of your guitar lessons and my hope is to learn how to finger pick instead of just flat picking. I highly recommend to anyone looking to learn or improve their guitar playing to seriously consider one of the Zager guitars. I have my eye on one of your ZAD 80’s that I am sure will be added to my collection in the near future. But quite honestly I can’t see how the ZAD 80 can sound any better than my 50. Keep up the great work Denny and I look forward to your lessons and any new products you may come out with. Sincerely,
George Talia

04/10/2009 I followed your suggestion regarding moving/turning the truss clockwise (a quarter turn is what I did). That step made all the difference. You know I can't really express my happiness the way the guitar's action is right now. This will be the easiest action guitar I've ever played. I have an officemate who has a New Yorker electric guitar. Your Zad 80 CE is a lot easier to play compared to the said electric guitar. More power to you guys at Zager Guitars, you really know your stuff and understand very well the way guitars should be played from the guitarist point of view. Respectfully,

04/08/2009 I bought by ZAD-20 in '03 for Christmas. The guitar plays exceptionally. With a fresh set of strings, the sound is to die for. I think about buying a Gibson or Ovation but I'm always satisfied and refreshed after playing my Zager. Haven't even gotten to the store to try a different acoustic. You won't be sorry you bought one.

04/08/2009 Denny, I received my Zad-5oCE yesterday evening. It exceeds my expectations. I have been playing guitar for nearly 60 years and I can truthfully say this is the easiest playing guitar I have ever played. I am 75 years old, so the light weight is also important to me. I currently have a 1954 Martin acoustic, a 1964 Fender Jazzmaster, and a Washburn acoustic. . I play country, a little bluegrass, and lately I play and sing the blues.The Zager guitar meets all my needs. I have also found the instructions very helpful. Anyway, thank you very much.

04/02/2009 Thank you very much for you instant response to my question. You guys have nothing to worry about when it comes to losing any sort of business. Your guitars are absolutly amazing, out playing every other 3000+ plus guitar I've ever picked up, and your business is with out question one of the kindest most dedicated I've ever dealt with. Thank you for your help. You have one more very satisfied customer under your belt.

03/31/2009 Hi Dennis, I received my ZAD 50 yesterday. It arrived in perfect condition and plays beautifully. I spent a lot of time with it yesterday, and am very pleased with the tone and playability. Thanks for your excellent service. I am looking forward to some on-line lessons in the near future. Your website is the best ever. I know you put a lot of work into it. Best Regards,

03/31/2009  Zager Guitars are some of the finest guitars I have played, the tone, the harmonics, intonation were 110%. The playability of Zager guitars will completely exceed your expectations. I have played guitars that are 3-4 times more in price, and their quality was less. I being the guitar player, bandleader for Newgrass Review and a nashville Recording Artist give my full 110% Endorsement to the Zager EZ-Play guitars The ZAD 80 and the ZAD 80CE will be my main guitars, my other Acoustics will be up for sale shortly. If you want a great guitar in the Studio or on Stage Zager has them. Sincerely,

03/31/2009 Dear Denny, I recently bought my wife a OM Zad 80, which she loves. She never played a guitar before, but is learning very fast. I am 63 years old and have never played a guitar before, but my wife has inspired me to start learning. I am a builder, and I appreciate good workmanship. I am excited about starting to learn to play. Thank you! Sincerely

03/27/2009 Hello Dennis: With all the great testimonials it’s hard to add much more, they are all true. As a beginning guitarist I was told to start out on nylon strings. With the easy-play system a beginning student is able to play the upper steel strings. I studied music at college and play the piano and other keyboards. With my own experience I understand some of the problems a beginning guitarist is up against. The C Major chord, very easy to play on the piano, not so easy on the guitar. I was told that I needed to practice for about six months, before I could learn to play some of the chords. The music store’s are full of guitars, most of them just junk. If you are serious about learning the guitar and can afford to, buy a zager guitar, or at least try one. My old amplifier came to life when I connected my Zager guitar, played good and loud like an electric one. The only problem is, how do I keep my finger prints off this pretty guitar? Thank you,

03/21/2009 What can I say that so many haven't already said before me. I love my new ZAD 50 OM. It is everything that everyone has said. Easy to play. Not hard on your fingers. I don't want to put it down. I went to bed after playing over an hour, then couldn't sleep and here I am at midnight after playing another hour. The tone on the guitar is really sweet. I have also been able to play chords that as novice I was unable to play on my other guitar. Thank you. Oh, the instructional videos are great and answered many questions. Now I can't wait to try your lessons.

03/21/2009 Dennis, You did it again! For the third time!!!!!. The Zager zad 80-om arrived and it is stunning. Even though I own two other zagers, this one surpassed my imagination. The guitar fits like a glove and sounds like a dream. I cannot imagine ever playing anything else. I have a Martin that sits sadly in the corner, totally ignored. I guess I'll have to sell that one on ebay if I ever want a 4th zager guitar. The guitar is so flawless, so beautiful and the sound is beyond description. You cannot know how much enjoyment I'm going to get with instrument. If that were not enough your company is such a blessing admist all the music stores out there. You have a 100% guarentee which you back-up with no hassles. You answer every question put to you quickly, and your one of the most decent, ethical people I have ever dealt with. No wonder your selling so many guitars. I am so happy I found out about your company and your guitars. I hope they put every other guitar out their to the test. You, your Dad, your cousin Tony and all the rest who work with you deserve the highest praise. Excellence is tough to beat!!! Hope to do business with you again. Regards

03/21/2009 Hey Denny, I went to Sam Ash today and i want to say that... I take back EVERYTHING bad i said haha, I played a Martin HD-15, a $2700 guitar and the strings felt hard and the sound was soft and the tone was dead sounding compared to the Zager. Thanks for the great guitar i love it

03/18/2009 Hi Dennis, My ZAD 50 CE arrived yesterday evening. I know that I broke the first commandment of guitar buying. “Thou shall not buy a guitar without first playing it several times”. However, I am glad that I broke that rule. My Zager is absolutely a work of art, there is no other way of describing it. The sound is likened to the very expensive guitars that hang in the music stores and I’m afraid to touch. I have played guitars for many years, and it is the by far the easiest box guitar I have ever played. The action is so easy that it takes only the slightest touch to make chords, runs,etc.. The harmonics on my guitar are perfect, not near, or close too, but perfect. I have never seen or heard a guitar that has this quality. My old Gibson is close but not perfect. I plugged it into my amp, adjusted the equalizer and played songs that I haven’t played in years. It is just a pleasure to play plugged or unplugged. Selling guitars, it seems, is secondary to the Zagers. Customer satisfaction and service to the customer is their number 1 goal. I had some concerns about the shipping due to a mix up by no fault of the Zagers and Dennis emailed me all weekend assuring me, and he made my concern his problem and he was doing everything in his power to insure that I had guitar by today, but I received it yesterday. I have never had such service and concern from any merchant. Thank You Dennis and Dennie for great service and a wonderful guitar. If you have any doubts buying a guitar, I hope this will put them to rest. I truly believe if Dennie or Dennis tells you something, it is carved in stone. I almost forgot neat Tshirt. Thank you.
