07/18/2010 I have a ZAD 50 that I purchased three or so years ago. Back in October I was in a local Bluegrass Jam in Carrollton , Texas and was asked by one member player if he could try the ZAD. He has a 1960’s vintage Martin D-28.
He’s commented several times that he likes the sound of my guitar; he plays mostly banjo and bass. After playing three songs on my ZAD he commented he’d never played a more “friendly” set up or easier fingering guitar.
He really had a complete epiphany, I think. He’d played with me several times, but had never played my guitar. Just want to reaffirm the legacy you have left.
Thanks for your time. |

07/17/2010 Hi Denny,
It's been about 3 years since I bought my ZAD-80 and it's about time I wrote a review. This is easily the best guitar I've ever owned. Granted, my collection consists of only 4 guitars, but with good reason; I would never feel the need to buy another acoustic guitar. Everywhere I go people compliment me on the sound of my ZAD-80, and when they play it they're even more impressed. This guitar stays in tune for weeks, sounds great, and is just an all around amazing piece of craftsmanship. I always tell my friends that my Zager is my one prized possession. If my house were burning down, this guitar would be what I would grab.

07/14/2010 Denny,
Through a series of good turns I received a brand new Zager ZAD50CE. It was really cold outside so I didn't open up the case until several hours later...and WOW what a beautiful guitar!! In tune right out of the box after warming up from it's trip from Nebraska to Washington. We had a large family gathering at Christmas and everyone who played it thought it was great...the other guitar players at our church also think that it looks and sounds awesome. I love to play my Zager. After two weeks I finally got to plug it in to a acoustic amp and that is what really impressed me....the tone is beautiful...then we connected it to the sound system at the church and that was even better......I can go on and on but you have heard it all before. The customer service before buying was awesome and the guitar is awesome and the student library is awesome......thank you so much for being the best at what you do and providing such a great product.

07/14/2010 Dennis,
Wow! Wow! Wow!!! What an instrument. I just took it out of the box and case and as soon as I saw how close the strings were to the frets the whole length of the neck I knew this was going to be something special. The sound and the ease of playability is unbelievable. You are better than advertised.
I am looking forward to increasing my skills and I know this guitar is only going to enhance my excitement and confidence. I am so pleased I came across the Zager Guitar as I was surfing the web. I will continue to provide you feedback as I move along in my journey. Thanks again for the wonderful instrument. It was worth the wait. |

07/14/2010 Denny,
Thanks for accommodating my request and I really love the Guitar, I have Martin for $7000 and a Gibson for $5000 but I still like playing my Zager best.

07/11/2010 Hi Dennis,
My ZAD80 arrived today! What a fantastic instrument! The ZAD80 looks GREAT. The sound - easily matches name brands in the $2500 to $3k range- and playability on this one is very nice. Thank you for your help over emails. The luthier who removed my pick gaurd was so impressed with it that he asked for your website address.
Thank you for the great customer service! I was more than a little wary buying a guitar online, unseen, unheard, and untouched. But I could not be happier with my purchase.
In an earlier day, I would say,
Zager Guitar rocks! Thanks again, have a great day.

07/08/2010 Hello,
I have owned and played a Zager Zad - 50 for about a year now. I absolutely love it. I have a Martin guitar that doesn't compare but of course cost more. I have several buddies that own Martin guitars also. They ask to play my guitar whenever they're over. I can't wait to learn so many more songs with it and take my playing to a new level. Thanks Again. |
 |
07/06/2010 Dear Mr. Zager, I'll keep it short & sweet. I love the new guitar. It plays easier and it sounds incredible, and I couldn't be happier. I can't remember how I came across your website,and I don't often buy anything over the internet, but something about the sincerity & passion you have for your guitars and guitars in general hooked me. Thanks again to you and your son. I'm looking forward to trying the online lessons soon. |

07/05/2010 Dear Dennis,
I'm really enjoying my OM80. Today I put fresh strings on and I must tell you there is a HUGE difference just as Denny mentioned in his videos. Since I've been playing more I guess I have to remember to change them more! It really brought this guitar alive. Just when I thought that the best could not get better. This guitar has been treating me very well, Dennis. Too bad for my old Breedlove that used to abuse my fingers...not the Zager. Thank you for it! |

07/04/2010 Received my new Zager Zad 50 last night and just wanted to let you know it arrived in excellent condition. After some minor tuning I
treated myself to a nice long get acquainted session. This guitar is everything and more as what you advertised it would be. I have a
Takamine F395MS 12 string that was built in 1976 that has awesome tone and playability. I have to say the Zager plays as easy or
better than my Takamine. I have no doubt it will have as good or better tone given some time to age. I want to thank Dennis as well for his excellent customer service and
help during the buying process. He is a true professional at his trade. Thank you for the extra strings, pick's and the cool autographed
photo of Zager & Evans. I can not wait to show the new Zager off with my other musically inclined friends. They will be impressed!
Thanks again guys!! |

07/02/2010 Hi Dennis,
I am SO glad I didn't get the Alvarez MSD and ordered
a baby Zager instead. This is the finest 3/4 sized guitar
I have ever seen. I feel like I am beginning a new love
affair. I expect to play this more than any other guitar
as my daily practice guitar because it is so comfortable.
My right shoulder remains low and relaxed and the string
set-up eliminates any left hand pain. I intuitively know that
practice with this guitar will make me a better player on
my other guitars, my wonderful ZAD80CE OM, and
my Big Baby Taylor. |

07/02/2010 Hi Dennis,
We received our Zad-50 on time & in perfect condition. I am not an expert on guitars but do know about craftsman ship & this guitar is beautiful in every way. My Daughter and I share the guitar and it gets played every day (we both are beginners ). I feel that by finding your web site and buying your guitar I have avoided many of the pitfalls beginners face. I would like to sign up for your lessons for her and I. I look forward to my next purchase from you... Thank you for the great service and wonderful product. |

06/29/2010 Hey again, and for the record....I went to Rockville, MD yesterday to Chuck Levin's Music Emporium, or www.wmcworld.com and Guitar Center. Chucks has been around forever and is a really widely known music center, people from all over the world have gone there. Anyway, I played every acoustic they had and nothing touched the Zager I tried....my friend's. It is amazing how $4500 Taylors and Martins just don't touch the playability of your guitars. After that jaunt to the city I was absolutely positive that your guitar was the way to go. I'm very grateful you just happened to have one in stock at a discount that matched the exact one I wanted. I think it was a sign from the Lord!! And who am I to question divine intervention?
Thank you again, just wanted to share.

06/26/2010 Hi Denny
Received my ZAD 50 CE- very reasonable price. I absolutely love it. It is beautiful. Friends who have been playing for 40 years reckon it is exceptional value and sounds great.
Certainly is easier to play than two others I have been learning on.
What a great accident discovering Zager guitars and getting one here completely unscathed.
Great guitar, packaging and service.
Thank You |

06/24/2010 I bought a Zager guitar about a year ago and after owning an Ibanez and
an old Conn this guitar beats them hands down. I like playing it for
hours and it never seems to make my fingers sore. I'm learning so much more and getting better then I ever thought I would in this little of time. A fun new thing in my life! Thanx Denny!!! |
 |
06/24/2010 Dennis, I got my guitar yesterday.
My dad played it till 11:00 PM last night and did not have anything but good things to say about it. He has a Martin D28 that he loves. He has been playing guitar for 60 years. He said it sounded better than his Martin, that is something I never thought I would here him say.
I bought an Estaban a year ago and promptly sent it back and got my money back. Since then I have been leery of buying things over the internet or TV.
The Guitar appears to be everything your reviews and website say it is. I am giving you my Fathers opinion because he has more experience (60 years) and plays much better than I do.
Thanks |

06/24/2010 Hi Dennis,
I received my guitar and I'm so very thrilled! It is exactly as we
had talked about, and it plays so wonderfully. I feel sorry for my Ibanez that was put in the closet upon the Zager's arrival. The sound is
awesome.... just nothing like it. The electronics are wonderful, too,
and I'm enjoying trying out the options and the different sounds it
creates. Thank you so very much for this
incredible instrument that I'll play in many places. Also, the finish
is beautiful. And, I could not believe that it was in tune when it
arrived........ now that is amazing!
Thank you so very much,

06/20/2010 Dear Denny, Your website got it right. This guitar really is 50% easier to play (at least!). I'd
love to have a real musician come over and play it since I'm a beginner, so I could sit back
and enjoy the tone coming from the front of it. Love the way the tone
sustains and the harmonies ring. What a great guitar to have for many years t come. I couldn't complain about anything if I tried. I'm so happy. Thanks again Denny.

06/18/2010 Howdy, Denny;
I just wanted to give you an update since I purchased my ZAD 80CE a
couple of years ago. Three of my siblings; sisters Susie and Della and
brother Robert, are also proud owners of your guitars. Played unplugged,
they still project over 3 and 4 part harmonies. When plugged in, they
deliver what every guitar player seeks - nuanced tone for days. We play
during family get togethers and are absolutely convinced your instruments
are the best value for the dollar period. Robert accidentally damaged
the jack on his guitar, and you immediately sent an entire replacement
unit. Customer service isn\'t just a sales ploy for
you, but an unheard of commitment. I have only ever sent in testimonials
for a product twice in my lifetime - both to Zager. I remain your
enthusiastic supporter and will continue to spread the word. |

06/17/2010 I bought my ZAD-50 about 6 months ago and everything about my experience has been positive. The buying process was flawless - fast, professional, and no "buyer's remorse." I'm a beginner so I don't have years of experience playing other guitars, but I get together with friends that each have different experience levels and every one of them enjoys playing my Zager. This weekend I had a couple of technical questions; Denny Jr. answered both of my emails within an hour - on a Sunday night! In the current era of crappy help desks, Zager is a refreshing reminder that customers value support - thanks, Denny. For all my fellow mid-life-crisis players, I highly recommend the Zager. |

06/14/2010 Hi Dennis, I received my dreadnought Zager ZAD50 guitar last week and I can't stop playing it since then, every afternoon, when I get home from work! In my personal opinion, the tonal quality, playability, and finish quality of this guitar is second to none at this price!! Im sure it is better than most of the high priced name brand guitars! Ive never heard of your guitar until I saw your site one day when I was searching for something affordable. I am so glad I bought one from you and I will certainly recommend this to my friends and family. Thank you so much for this great guitar!! I would also like to thank you for your prompt responses to my inquiries. More power to Zager Guitar!! sincerely, |
 |
06/14/2010 I just got through leaving a voicemail for Denny but wanted to send this note along as well. I received my ZAD-80 and have not been able to put it down let alone back in it's case. As I said, when I opened the box and then the lid on the case my first thought was that you sent me the wrong guitar. The photos on the web site do not do justice to the look of the woods used on this guitar. The cedar top is so much richer and darker than the photo. The incredible inlay work around the body and sound hole is amazing. The gold Grover tuners are so much more substantial than those on any guitar. I could go on and on about the beauty of this instrument and if it stopped there I'd be happy. However, after tuning and playing the first few notes and chords...well I'm hooked. I already know I will have this guitar forever. I own 2 Martins, and a Gibson J 160-e as well as a few others. The Martin D-28 is for sale on ebay as we speak and once it sells the Gibson will go next. As much as I love those guitars, even after professional set-ups they do not have the action or playability of the Zager. Thanks so much for my new dream guitar. Best Wishes, |

06/14/2010 To everyone at Zager Guitars:
I received my ZAD-50 two days ago and I am truly impressed. I admit I was a bit apprehensive about ordering a guitar online without being able to play the instrument beforehand. Wow, were my fears groundless! This is really a nice instrument. I was immediately struck with the guitar's appearance - the woodgrains are tight and uniform and the finish very attractive.
I've been playing for 40 years and I bought the Zager to be my "traveling" guitar. Right out of the case the Zager sounded terrific with excellent tone and good low-end "punch." I'm sure the sound will just improve as the guitar ages. I have played several Martins and Taylors over the years and this ZAD-50 is so much easier to play. What a refreshing change to buy a guitar that I will not need to take to a technician to have the action lowered! Denny Sr.'s "String Science" eliminates the need for that. The Zager is really a great value for the price.
You have made me a very satisfied customer!
Best regards, |

06/11/2010 It has been 2 years since I bought my Zager ZAD-80CE. As I was looking at the 6 guitars I now own including the Gretch Black Falcon, Les Paul, Ovations, and Takamine which I appreciate for each of their charactristics I felt compelled to send a note to you guys for inspiring me with a great guitar to go on to turn music into a major part of my life. The Zager is still the guitar I pick up first and as much as I love that guitar it is not for purely sentimental reasons. I have been fortunate enough to be associated with many guitarists far superior to myself in these last few years due to the sound stage that I constructed for locals to jam at and the few that I have allowed to play the Zager (including one of Prince's studio guiarists - he played it exclusively while recording tracks for a demo CD at my recording facility) have all agreed that it is truely a great guitar. My experience with Zager Guitars service and support and product quality convinced me that Zager Guitars is "one of a kind". That guitar was the perfect instrument for me as a beginner and is still the best as I develop as a guitarist. Your committment to complete quality is unique. I hope many others will have the opportunity to feel the gratitude that i do for you and your great company. Thank you! |

06/08/2010 Hi Denny,
I have been playing guitar for 37 years mostly for self pleasure but now that I am in my 50's my arthritis makes it hard to play acoustic guitars. In fact, I can only play my (California) Fender Stratocaster with little or no pain. I was talking to my older brother about the pain in playing acoustic guitars when he told me to try his "top of the line" "Taylor" guitar. I couldn't come to terms of paying over $2000 dollars for something that I would only use a few times a week. I then started looking for a used Taylor guitar on e-bay. That is when I stumbled onto your easy-play guitars. So, I started reading all the testimonies and magazine reports and still had a problem with spending the money (although a lot less) for your guitar without trying it first. I ordered the Zad-80CE thinking this may stand up to my brother's Taylor and allow me to play without terrible pain.
Well, I'm sure you know where I'm going with this message. Yes, the guitar arrived in perfect condition and in just a few days. When we opened the case it was like a dream come true. It not only looked flawlessly beautiful but the first sound from the stings blew us away. It has a deeper quality tone than my brother's Taylor. Then after about an hour it dawned on me that not only was there no pain but the speed/ease of playing notes/chords up and down the neck was as easy or easier than my Strat. Thanks Denny. As for my brother, he can keep his Taylor, I like the Zad-80CE more. Anyway, your guitar has really helped me with my arthritis. I now enjoy playing again.
Thanks Again,
|

06/06/2010 All I play is my ZD50. It's all I play anymore. At 65 years old and with a pretty good case of arthritis, I wouldn't even be able to play without the ease of playing a Zager. Also, everyone who plays it can't believe it. My son is still trying to sell his 2 guitars so he can order a zad50. That speaks for itself. You have a great product. Any thing I can do to help, I will be glad to do. Thanks again. It is so great to do business with an organization that provides such customer service. |

06/05/2010 Hi Dennis,
Sorry I took so long to get back to you after I received my new ZAD80.
The guitar arrived in perfect condition. Wow!!! It sounds fantastic. I have an old 80's model Gibson J45 and a newer Ibanez Artwood, my new Zager sounds incredibly better than either of them . As for playability the Zager is far superior, it is the easiest playing acoustic that I have encountered except for maybe a few Taylors and Martins I've played with but those were 10 grand!
I wish I hadn't waited a year to purchase my Zager
but I'm happy to have been able to purchase one of these fine instruments.
Warmest regards to all of you at Zager Guitar |

06/04/2010 Hi Denny,
I finally got some time and wanted to drop you an e-mail. Well, I received my guitar a couple of days ago and much to my utter delight and surprise the intonation of this guitar is absolutely dead on! This is absolutely the best guitar I've ever owned or played. Even with the challenges I have with my extremely large hands it is definitely the best guitar I've come around. Anyway, I want to thank you and Denny Sr. for going the extra mile! I am currently considering buying my seven-year-old son a Zad15. I've also recommended you to my best friend of 45 years and I will continue to recommend you.
I can't thank you enough, |
 |
06/02/2010 Hi Dennis, I have been learning alot in the last several days about the finer details of the acoustic guitar. I could see and hear the quality of my Zager 50 when I first played it, I was just surprised with the setup. It is growing on me already. My good friend and band mate attends the NAMM shows as a guest of a famous maker of acoustic guitars. He played my ZAD50 today and compared it to their $1,700.00 price point.
Thanks, |
 |
06/02/2010 I am truly amazed at the amount of effort you place on customer satisfaction!!! I am 41 years old and I feel like a child on Christmas Eve waiting on Santa. This is the way a business is supposed to be. Your families business ethics and the amount of respect and dedication you give to your customers was outststanding. My Zager 80 acoustic guitar plays like something 3 times this price. Can you tell I'm a happy customer? Thank you and your dad.
