11/28/2011 I have been playing my Zager for a couple of months now and I truly love this guitar. Very nice sound and the quality of the instrument is first rate. I have never played a "high end" acoustic but I have played some that were extremely difficult to play. The modifications to the nut and bridge improve the ease of play tremendously. The sound when playing lead licks and riffs is amazing. Very penetrating and "ringy". The customer service and quick reply to any question submitted was astounding. Very nice people to do business with. Fine instrument and attention to customer service equals happiness! Thank you very much!!

11/26/2011 I recently purchased a ZAD-20CE (in sunburst finish) from you; it arrived this past Friday. I saw that it was beautiful as soon as I opened the case, but I have no guitar experience whatsoever and was hesitant to send you a glowing review based solely on its finish, so I asked a good friend of mine who has been playing guitar for a long time (probably over 20 years) to do a demo for me today. He too was impressed by the guitar’s looks, but he was even more surprised by the way it played. I only asked him to do a song or two (since it was late and he had work to go do), but after he had played one thing, he kept going and began to cycle through lots of chords and progressions, and before I knew it he had been playing for 20 minutes! I explained to him the basic premise of a Zager EZ-Play guitar, and he kept saying, “yeah man, this IS easy to play!” His excitement compounded quickly. He showed me how the sustain lasted a good long time, and he also remarked that the guitar already sounded especially “open” for being so new. Out of curiosity, I asked him what he thought a fair price would be for the guitar. He replied that he had paid $1,400 for his Taylor, and that my ZAD-20CE was definitely a better guitar than his Taylor. When I told him that I had paid $595 for the guitar, his jaw dropped. After staring at me for a second, he whispered, “Are you serious!? I can’t believe you got this for under $1,000!” He said that he would be referring anyone looking for a guitar in the future to your company, and it sounds like he might end up buying one for himself. To say the least, I am happy with my guitar. I wanted one that could make me excited about learning and practicing guitar, and that is exactly what I got. Thank you for all of the hard work and craftsmanship that you put into this instrument—it is clear that you take great pride in your work. I’m looking forward to getting to know the guitar better in the months and years to come, and I’m very glad that I decided to go ahead and order a guitar off the internet despite my initial reservations. |

11/25/2011 I purchased two zager guitars and have been very happy with them. My fingers do not hurt when I press down on the strings; the sound is beautiful; and the guitar is excellent in looks and I highly recommend Zager guitars for all ages. Denny Zager, Jr. has been wonderful as far as customer service and I feel when I email him, I've known him for a long time. |
 |
11/24/2011 I just had to write you again and tell you what a wonderful guitar the ZAD-20CE is. I recently purchased a Martin D-18 GE which I have been looking for. I swear, the Zager in many ways has a clearer more precise sound. My wife says it is her favorite to listen too. I believe I will be buying another model from you very soon. |

11/22/2011 Dear Friend, I call you friend because even though you don't know me well enough to call me your friend, I believe I know you well enough to know that you are a friend to Truth, which is everyone's friend. This occurred to me while comparing your ZAD-80 OM to my $2720 Taylor 714ce (Grand Auditorium - solid western cedar & solid rosewood). The ZAD-80 OM shines so much brighter. Comparing chord to chord, switching one guitar to the other, was the most dramatic. What I had been used to -- and thought of -- as high quality voicing, was significantly, i.e., MASSIVELY, out-shined by your guitar. First of all, the pure sweet sound of each chord and note is delicious, clearly sweeter and purer in comparison. But, oh how you have put my Taylor behind! I'm almost sad for my beloved Taylor. And even though the ZAD-80 OM is a little smaller than my Taylor, it easily produces this sweet clear music with more volume! - and with significantly less effort!! I think I'll be selling my Taylor! There's no reason to keep it now! Your ZAD-80 OM continues to sing sweetly while the Taylor slips into deadening numbness. |

11/22/2011 Thank you for the customer service you provide and the type person you are. I wish you the very best in all your endeavors. |
 |
11/19/2011 I received my Zager Guitar today!! I thank you with all my heart! It is quite obvious that a lot of time, pride, and commitment goes into the entire process. From the packaging, to the case, and most importantly the Zager Guitar. It is my privilege to own such a finely crafted instrument. It's sound instantly soothes me and I couldn't ask for a better fit; but the best part is, I didn't have to sacrifice sound for a smaller size. |

11/16/2011 Unless you want to go out and pay upwards of $6000 for a custom made guitar, to your specifications, you'll likely NEVER find an equal to one of Denny's guitars. I've put both my ZAD 20CE and 80CE guitars (I just got the 80CE a few weeks ago) through their paces, along with the help of several very fine guitarists, including my son, who plays circles around me (just wait JR. I'll catch up yet :-) The people I play around are all top flight guitarists (I'm NOT a top flight guitarist yet. I'm a top flight guitarist "in training" :-). We mainly play Christian worship music although several in the group use both acoustic -acoustic-electric and electric guitars. There are Takamines, Gibson, Guild, Ovation, Taylor, Seagull, Martin, Alvarez, and a few I'm forgetting, in the "fold" of our group. My Zagers have been dubbed "worthy" of hanging out with guitars that retail for 3+ times what I paid for mine. |
 |
11/14/2011 I finally had the time to sit down, un-box and tune my new ZAD-80CE.
All I can say is "WOW". I love my 20CE but the 80CE is definitely a step above. My son is a very skilled self-taught guitarist and regularly plays upper end Alvarez, Martin, Taylor, Seagull, Ovation, Guild, Fenders, Takamine's etc. in the $3-5K range. He has a friend who is a professional guitarist and who has the above listed collection and more. Many of these guitars are "professional loaners" for which he doesn't pay, so he has access to the best of the best. His personal two favorite guitars are a Martin D-35 and a D-28 that are worth about $15K a piece, but he said the tonal quality is more to his liking simply because of the age of the guitars. They're 30+ years old. His guess would be that in 3-5 years my 80CE could come close to matching those as well, but for out of the box guitars, this is one of the best he's ever played, and as I said, the best he's every played in the several thousand dollar price range. He could tell the difference in a moment about the setup when he played it. It is similar to how he has his own guitars professionally customized at the cost of $300-200 apiece. Ouch. |

11/14/2011 I got my ZAD-20 yesterday and I was very impressed. I love this guitar!!! It's easy to play, it sounds awesome, and it looks beautiful. It's everything you said it was going to be. Thank you very much for this great guitar. |
 |
11/14/2011 Thank you for such an amazing guitar. Every other guitar player I have been around absolutely loves it. Just played my first gig last week with this guitar and it sounds just as sweet plugged in as it does played naturally. I have played upper end Martins and Taylors and also have a more expensive Martin myself and this guitar outplays all of them. This has been one of the most enjoyable buying experiences I have ever had. Thanks again.

11/10/2011 Good morning Dennis, and Dennis Jr, and everyone at the Zager team. I wanted to express my gratitude for the excellent guitar delivered to my home the very next day following the order. I usually take a little while before I make a judgment when buying an instrument. This is no exception, but I have been unable to put this guitar down! The sound is more vibrant than my Martin Dreadnought, (which was also setup with light strings). The tone is every bit as rich and full as the Martin. The playability with bends and barre chording in particular is the more comfortable than my deluxe strat and tele, or any other guitar I have had the opportunity to play.
The picking response is excellent, the built in tuner is a very nice and useful touch, and the electronics are also very solid on this guitar. The professionalism and courtesy with which you give to your customers should be a standard in the musical instrument/lesson business |

11/08/2011 Hello, Delbert Adams here long time fan. I ordered the Zagar 20ce on last Thursday late. It arrived the following Tuesday. What quick service!!!! I was absolutely astonished at the workmanship and the quality of this guitar. Thank you so very much for the work that you put into your modifications. Everything was just as you said it would be and more. The sound is just absolutely beautiful. The wife and I really like this guitar and will be buying another one in the near future. Again thank you so very much. It is so nice to do business with such a good individual. |
 |
11/07/2011 I really like that guitar I am on the road at the moment with my band and will be back around august 10th and want either that guitar or the black one you have! I love all your guitars I PLAYED A FEW OF THEM AND HAVE TO ADMIT THEY PLAY AND SOUND BETTER THAN MY EXPENSIVE MARTIN. You guys make me proud to be a guitar player! So I will keep in ouch every chance I get to internet connection. Thanks for such fast reply!! |
 |
11/04/2011 I just wanted to write and tell you thanks for the beautiful guitar. It plays and sounds every bit as good as my Martin HD28. A friend of mine had purchased one of your guitars and I was looking for a second acoustic.
I made the right decision when I purchased a Zager. Best of health and wishes to you and your family for the many years that you have given the guitar world. |

11/04/2011 I wanted to let you know that my new ZAD-20 Acoustic guitar arrived in perfect shape. When I popped the case lid open Wow what a beautiful piece of work. To say I'm satisfied is putting mildly. I'm so excited to start guitar lessons this coming week and begin to enjoy this awesome guitar.
I want to thank you Dennis for such a quality product and at such a reasonable price I might add. Dennis Jr. was extremely helpful to this first timer and I appreciate his professional and personal guidance, in fact your whole gang is top notch, my thanks to all of you. I know that once I get some lessons and experience under my belt I'm really going to appreciate this guitar just that much more. I will keep you guy's updated on my progress. |

11/04/2011 I'd also like to pass along the fact, that when I was making my purchase online, I was having a bit of trouble with my credit card company validating the transaction. (Which is a good thing I suppose, in these days when predators enjoy stealing honest folks identies.) I called into Zager Guitar and I spoke with Jill, who was extremely professional and helped me through this slight difficulty with ease! She deserves to be mentioned for her help and the kind way that she handled it. Too often, these types of people are unmentioned. Thank you Jill!

11/01/2011 Just a note to let you know that I'm still lovin my Zager guitar. Can't seem to get enough of it. And since I received my Zager I have played some very expensive Martins and Taylors up to about $4000 and in my opinion they aren't nearly as easy to play. Thanks again for such a fine instrument. |
 |
10/29/2011 Thank you for your prompt service and great customer service as usual. There was no delay and no apology needed. I am impressed with the Zager
way of business ethics. If we had more companies that treated there customer's the way you guys do we would all be better off. Even though I am returning a guitar I still have nothing but good to say about the Zager's and your product. |
 |
10/27/2011 I just took my ZAD-80 out of the case for the first time. Love it! Thanks. I'm proud to own an instrument made in the tradition of a master luthier. You capture that spirit very well, and that sets you apart . . . not to mention the beautiful tonal quality, finish and playability of the guitar. |
 |
10/26/2011 Just got home and couldn’t wait to open the box. It is gorgeous and plays like a dream, the tone quality is heavenly. I am confused about it being a discounted guitar for I can’t find a scratch on it, but great for me. I now know why people rave about this guitar. I love my Alvarez AD62SC and had planned on buying a Yairi but the ZAG is unbelievable to play. My Martin D28, even after lowering the action is nothing like this guitar. |
 |
10/25/2011 Hello: Just to let you know I got the guitar and am really impressed by the sound the look of it. I'm just starting to learn to play and right away felt very comfortable with this guitar. Years ago, I tried to learn to play but found it to be awkward and frustrating experience and gave up. I realize now that the guitar I had been trying to learn on was crap. Thanks for providing such a quality instrument - I feel lucky to have found your company when I did. Thanks again, |
 |
10/23/2011 I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with this new guitar. I presently own an Ovation 1771 Balladeer and Epiphone 12 string; there is no comparison to the beauty and playability of the ZAD20CE. The ring and tone are remarkable for a guitar in this price range. The customer service and support I have experienced since joining you is a lost value in today’s business world. You are truly making this a personal experience and show that you care about your customers. Owning various guitars and playing since I was 15 (1969), after viewing your lessons for only the last couple of weeks I am finally playing at a level of satisfaction I’ve never experienced before. Like a good guitar this will only get better with time (and practice).
Denny, you always be remembered for the great hit “In the Year 2525” but immortalized for the gift you’re giving back to the guitar community and folks like myself who play purely for the love of music. Not only are the skills of playing the guitar conveyed easily on your website, the life lessons communicated through your teaching are beyond measure. The impact you are having on people through your work is truly commendable. |

10/23/2011 I would have written sooner, but it's hard to compose email with a guitar in your hands, and I've barely put my new 80CE down since it arrived. It lives up to its hype and then some. I've been playing since college (All I shall say about college is that it was something more than 20 years ago. Well, okay, more than 30 years ago.) I never gave up playing, but in the last 18 months I got really serious about it again. I own a Martin/Clapton signature and a Small Martin (for travel), plus a nylon-string acoustic/electric Cordoba that takes me back to my college/folk music roots in the late 60s and early 70s. But I had wanted a Zager for a long time and finally gave in. It is sooooo sweet. The tone is every bit the equal of the Clapton. The string spacing along the fret board gives me the room I need to hit my marks as cleanly as on the Cordoba classic without the extra neck width that is always a challenge for someone with relatively small hands. My 80CE would have been a bargain at twice the price. I can't tell you how happy I am that I took the plunge. The guitar has so inspired me that I have signed up for high-end lessons to get even better at this. When my instructor asked me how good I wanted to get, I told her I wanted to be able to stand toe-to-toe with Mason Williams and play "Classical Gas" in duet. I actually have some confidence with the 80 CE that I could get there. |

10/20/2011 I received my new ZAD 20 about a week and a half ago and I can't tell you how much I love it; its a guitar I'll use for many years to come. It sounds great and for someone like myself just starting to play again after many years of not even touching a guitar it is really great. I can prastic as long as I want without my fingers hurting, and the help I received from you while trying to decide to buy a Zager. All can say is I love it. |
 |
10/17/2011 The guitar I ordered arrived as scheduled and in perfect condition due to careful packaging. Thank you. I've gotta' say this is one beautiful guitar. The spruce top, mahogany sides and gold plated hardware make an exquisite combination. The finish is extraordinary and having played it now for over two weeks I find the tone impressive. The case is also quite good. One thing I noticed in handling the guitar for the first time was how much lighter it was compared to my other acoustics. Using lighter bracing and strings add to the playabilty of the guitar. Action is perfect and the Zager plays easier than a few guitars I have with a scale length of 24 1/2". |
 |
10/15/2011 I just received the guitar….it is beautiful, as easy to play and advertised and it sounds absolutely wonderful. Also the case is beautiful, the literature helpful and I LOVE the larger picks and extra light strings….thank you so much for the help. I am a very happy camper! |
 |
10/15/2011 I received my guitar a couple of weeks ago. It is all you said it would be. I have been want to learn to play for many many years but nothing felt right in my hands. The tip of my first finger on my left hand was cut off on an angle years ago and it made it difficult to play. With your Guitar it has made it so easy to fret the strings am I am seeing some very great progress. Thanks for doing such a great job |
 |
10/15/2011 Denny, I was a bit skeptical about purchasing your guitar. IT WAS THE
BEST PURCHASE I HAVE EVER MADE. Plays easy sounds great.Very Pleased would highly recremend to others . PS I own other guitars that cost much more and I bought this one to use and abuse outdoors but it is so nice and plays so well that I just
can't. |
 |
10/11/2011 I received my guitar, a Zager ZAD-20CE in natural finish, and I am writing to tell you that it is magnificent! I am thoroughly pleased with the instrument – its fit, finish, tone, and playability are all top shelf; and the entire transaction was a pleasant experience from start to finish. I especially appreciate the speed with which my new guitar arrived and how well it was packed. I also appreciated the communication throughout the process that kept me apprised of what was going on every step of the way, from the time I placed my order until it arrived on my doorstep. It only makes me even more confident and comfortable with my purchase. I have already shown the guitar to several of my friends and heard comments like, “Wow, where did you say you got this guitar? I might need to get one of these myself.” Thanks again, and I look forward to years of enjoyment with my new Zager! |
