10/17/2006 I am having a great time with my online lessons. I have really surprised myself with how much my playing has improved since I began the lessons. Even though I'd played before, I never felt like I made much progress. Now, each time I view a lesson, play along with it, or study the arrangement by myself, I can tell I'm making great strides!
Thank you, Denny! |

10/15/2006 Amazing. My new ZAD 80CE is absolutely amazing. I have been playing some much more expensive guitars the past three days, and without question, the ZASD 80CE simply outperforms them all. Not only is the price way better, but the sound, playability, looks, feel, tone, features, are simply better than any other guitar I have played. I have been playing for 25 years and have owned and played some very high end guitars.
I don't understand how Mr Zager does it. I truly am amazed. No fret buzz but no loss of volume! Solid wood construction with grover tuners, a fishman pick up, and gorgeous details, all for less than $900. I really struggled between buying another Zager (I purchased a ZAD 50ce last year) or a 400series Taylor or a high end Gibson. I tried them all out and none of them (including a $3,000 Gibson) sounded better than my 50 CE. And the 80 sounds even cleaner. Amazing is all I can say.
You have a customer for life and I will be buying more guitars from you. Next time, however, I won't need to compare others first! |

10/15/2006 Dennis,
I received my ZAD50CE yesterday that my wife ordered for me, and I just love it! I have a Martin 3532 guitar with a jack for electric (nothing else) and a Fender Stratocaster Deluxe electric guitar, and neither can compare with the ZAD50CE. Even as a beginner, I could tell immediately that the ZAD50CE is much easier to play and sounds so much better. I am truly amazed at the quality of this quitar. My thanks and congratulations to you and your Dad for making such a high quality guitar.
Also, I really appreciate the extras that were thrown in. That was very thoughtful, and most unusual.
If you would like for me to write a review for your website, I would be more than happy to do so. It would be all positive. There is nothing negative that I can think of.
Again, thanks, and I look forward to many hours of pleasure with the ZAD50CE. Oh yes, my wife doesn't play the guitar at all, and noticed an immediate difference in ease of play and quality of sound also.
One more thing, my wife wants to know if it is possible to purchase your Dad's song "In the Year 2525" from you.
Thanks again, |

10/15/2006 Zagers, love my Zad 50 now for 3 months. I was a skeptical purchaser, but everything promised about this guitar has come through in spades- tone, sustain and ease of play, tuning stability,etc. My guitar teacher marvels at the sound and playability. |
 |
10/11/2006 The guitar is beautiful and sounds great......I do most of my practice on my older heavey stringed guitar (right or wrong) trying to build up finger strength and positioning.
When I switch to the Zager, it is like a different world...the pressure needed is so minimal that it takes a while to realize how light a touch is needed to get a good clear note.
I am really pleased with it...Thanks............. |
 |
10/09/2006 To all Zager employees,
Thanks for the great guitar. I am a forty year, lousy guitarist who plays solely for his own pleasure. I recently bought a ZAD-50CE Orchestra body guitar from you...sound unheard (not sight unseen).
I have been immensely enjoying it for the past few weeks...it is as easy to play as my Statocaster (actually easier, I am a large fellow with big hands and the broad neck allows for more accurate finger placement) and sounds better than my HD-35!
I love this guitar!!!
My friends will be buying your wonderful instruments. |
 |
10/08/2006 Hi, Dennis -
My ZAD-50 arrived today, a mere 4 days after I ordered it. It is a beautiful instrument that surpasses my expectations, with a full, clear sound.
I have hardly put it down since it got here.
Thanks so much for answering all my questions while I was deciding on the purchase, and for your company's excellent service.
I look forward to checking out the online videos, and spending lots of time with this beautiful guitar.
best regards, |
 |
10/05/2006 HiDZJR, The ZAD50OM arrived in good shape today. Nice guitar for the bucks. I sell Blueridge in the same price range and yours is just as nice quailty wise. As for the setup -- Excellent!! |
 |
10/05/2006 I played it at a gig the other night and it really sounded great. Had a lot good comments from band members about how great it sounded. After playing it for a couple of weeks, I went back and played the acoustic I had been playing before I purchased the Zager. What a difference! The Zager plays so much easier and has a better sound. |
 |
10/05/2006 Dennis ... I am in disbelief !!! The guitar arrived today !!! It is beautiful ... a little lighter wood color and the action is very nice !!!! You have another very satisfied customer !!! |
 |
10/02/2006 I haven't been playing the guitar long, probably about 6 months, but it has been on a fender, nothing special, just a starting guitar. We'll my dad said I was good enough to get a new guitar so he said he would help pay for one, I got some money together and ordered the ZAD-50CE, well needless to say my dad basically cussed me out because he's been playing for around 25 years, he said I was going to be ripped off and you guys would send me a piece of junk. He even called your 1-800 number and tried to give you guys hell saying he was from GM music and wanted the guitars wholesale, and that he had seen them in pawn shops, (he was being a real jerk) but your customer service is SO excellent that the man he was talking to was even nice and was trying to help him (despite my fathers attitude). So I let the guitar arrive, first I let my brother play it, he has been playing for over 12 years and is an EXCELLENT player, he has played the most expensive martins on the market. (He has a wonderfully playing Vantage Acoustic guitar), I handed him the guitar, and he couldn't put it down, he played and played and played, he even asked me if he could hold it for awhile and let me play his. Needless to say, he was absolutely amazed, he said it played far better than his Vantage, and better than most 2,000 dollar Martin's he has played, plus he was lying in the bed, on his back, playing barcords, the custom bridges are phenomenal. Well, then went the big test, my father, brought the guitar in and he said, "well.... its a beautiful guitar, it has good weight", so he proceeded to play.... and play.... and play.... he couldn't believe it, he couldn't stop talking about it, he even said that he had to have one! He said it played beautifully and was extremely impressed and told me it was worth every cent I put into it. I was honestly shocked. Anyway, I've been playing the Zager for a little while now, and it's absolutely amazing, it has the beautiful acoustic sound, and when plugged into the amp, sounds like a clear and crisp acoustic, unless you want to distort it to sound like an electric, it also plays so easy it's like playing an electric. I have never picked up another guitar in my life that played like this guitar, although I have picked up and played 650-1500 guitars in music stores that couldn't hold a light to my Zager, and were so hard to hold barchords that it felt impossible. I was so skeptic at first, these guitars really are too good to be true, and you know the common saying, well in this case it is DEAD wrong. I would recommend this guitar to anyone, and if I ever buy another one it will be from Zagerguitars. Please post my testimonial on your website because I want people to know that are skeptic, that this is the best guitar you can possibly find, for the look, the playability, and best of all the enormous and beautiful sound that emits from these guitars. These guitars are worth triple for what they are selling for, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to have a guitar that plays like its 3000 dollars without breaking my wallet. You guys are the best!
Customer service 5 stars
Guitar 5 stars
Price 5 stars
The list is infinite.
Sincerely, |

09/29/2006 Dennis & Denny,
I received my ZAD-50 last week and have had a hard time putting it down ever since. The guitar looks even better than I thought and plays very well. Definitely a quality piece. It is a very welcome addition to my family, and I look forward to spending a lot of time with it.
Thanks a million, |

09/27/2006 Hello,
It has taken me awhile to write you fine folks about my new Zager ZAD-50CE, I have been too busy playing the unit to write! I want you to know that I feel this is a really fine guitar and a great value for the money. The sound is great and the action is nice and low. My daughter has a Takamine acoustic/electric much like the ZAD-50CE and she paid about the same price. She brought her guitar over and we compared the two. There was really no comparison with the Zager outshining the Takamine in all aspects: workmanship, action, and sound quality. The sound quality was most notable with the Zager having a much fuller and brighter sound, the Takamine sounded dead compared to my Zager.
Gretchen could not put the guitar down and she played it for two hours and she said she really wanted one. She absolutely loved it.
When I received the guitar it had a minor flaw with the pin/jack and it was slightly loose. Dennis Zager Jr. told me to take it to a local Luthier to have it fixed. He tightened it in a jiffy and played the guitar briefly, commenting that the Zager was set up well and had nice low clean action. This luthier has been doing this for many, many years and his shop was full of very expensive instruments so I think his opinion has some weight.
The Zager guitar company promptly refunded me the money I paid to have it adjusted and included two sets of strings and two picks in the package with the check, I guess for my trouble. Now THAT is exceptional customer service!
Thanks to all the fine people at Zager Guitars.
Best Regards, |

09/26/2006 Hi Dennis,
Just got my ZAD-80 back. It plays like a dream! I don't know how to thank you and Denny enough. You guys really go above and beyond when it comes to service. If there is ever anything I can do to help you out, please let me know.
Thanks Again, |
 |
09/25/2006 Well, I received my guitar today and I absolutely love it!! I've never played the guitar in my life, so this is a new experience for me. I've heard nothing but good things about your Zad50, from the guys at work, so I knew I had to give it a try. My first lesson was today at 3:00, and although I was a little frustrated by my clumsiness, I was surprised how comfortable I felt playing it! My instructor really raved about the design. I'll be able to give you more of a testimonial when I've had a little more time to learn what I'm doing! Have a great weekend! |
 |
09/23/2006 Denny,
Thanks so much for this awesome guitar!! This is just what I have been looking for since I play all the leads in my acoustic duo! I'm already thinking about purchasing another! Thanks for such a great product!! Warmest regards, Michael Jessup
P.S. I have always loved that song!! I was 8 when you put out that single & even then it made me think!! Thanks! |

09/23/2006 Dear Mr. Zager,
I received my new Zager 50 OMCE and was delighted! I'm surprised that even my high expectations were exceeded. I'm not any kind of player,( you might help out there, too), but I know and appreciate both the structural beauty of the guitar and the beautiful balance that can be attained with precise adjustment. I envy your ability to find the soul of a thing so that others can share in it. Well, I swore I wasn't going to send one those gushing letters of praise but what the hell can I say. In New England vernacular "This is a wicked pissa gitahh!" . I'm already trying to figure out what my next Zager guitar will be. I'm going to take the lessons and not even demand my money back when even Denny Zager can't get the boxing gloves off O'Day. After all, I don't want you guys going out of business. "You make Wicked Pissa Gitahhz!."
Thank You! |

09/20/2006 I placed a preorder for a ZAD50CE in January and received it in February as expected. I am an absolute beginner at 42 yrs old. I had only played guitar for one month on a Hohner HW200 when I came across Mr. Dennis Zager's website for the EZplay guitars. After viewing the well made website, I decided to purchase. I received the guitar in its case as I ordered in perfect condition. Two days previous to receiving the guitar, I decided to run a test. I recorded myself playing the Hohner I owned and would see if right out of the box whether I played the few chords I already knew with the Zad50ce any easier or smoother. Well, let me tell you, I definitely played the Zager with much more ease. Because I recorded it using my computer in a wave type format, I was able to see how much quicker I was able to switch chords in comparision to the Hohner. I was extremely impressed. The tones and overall finish of the guitar is beautiful. For the first couple of days, I had to retune the guitar each time before playing, but after that the tuning had seemed to just settle in perfectly. So, I attributed this to the difference in weather locations and string stretch. After viewing the tuning video and various others Mr. Zager provided on his website, I decided to purchase the online lessons, and so far I am extremely happy with his method and my progress. To date, I have been playing the Zad50ce for one month, and I can almost play the whole first song arrangement smoothly. I only have 3 more measures to complete. The lessons are extremely informative and I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to learn quickly and easily to purchase them. One other reason for my purchase of the lessons was that I had emailed Dennis Zager, Jr. about information such as humidity etc. and received replies from him within hours. If they could make the time to answer my questions in this time frame for small issures then I felt confident in their service. Well, last night, I changed the strings which were provided for the first time following Dennis Sr.' videos and I was able to do it properly and the guitar tuned up almost effortlessly. I played for about an hour and put it in its case for the evening. Upon picking it up the next day and the one after that, the guitar didn't need retuning at all. So I truly believe in Dennis' science and the tuning utopia he strives for all to enjoy. I trully want to thank Dennis Sr and Jr. for all your assistance and giving me the ability to play longer, easier and with great tones. You have really made a guitar that is beautiful in every aspect and I will recommend your product to everyone.
Thank you, |

09/17/2006 I've had my ZAD80CE for about a month now and I'm thouroughly pleased with everything. Played a four hour gig last Friday, the I hosted
an open mike on Saturday again playing close to four hours. No sore fingers. One fellow that entertained had a D28 Martin which we miked, songed good, but did not play as easy as the Zager.
I've had people in the Legion comment about the fine, warm sound of the Zager guitar as compared to my epiphone. I've been offered far more than I paid already. My friend with the 1800.00 Yamaha is upset because the strings are far closer to the fret board on the Zager than the Yamaha. We tried to set the neck down a bit more, got them a little closer, then got fret buzz. Also, the low E is way closer than the High E. He is taking the guitar back to the dealer tomorrow. Denny SR. and Denny JR, I think you have a real winner that I will recommend to everyone I talk to, than you so much for giving and old guitar player a new experience. Just too bad they are hard to get up in Canada. |

09/15/2006 Guys,
Thank you very much for your great customer service. My ZAD-50 sounds better than new - and your turnaround time on the repair was fantastic - less than two weeks and the vast majority of that time was the ground transport from Rhode Island to Nebraska and back.. You must have worked on the instrument the day you received it. I absolutely love the guitar and will talk up your company with anyone that's willing to listen. Unsurpassed service and support - a rarity these days!
Best Regards, |

09/15/2006 Good Morning and Happy St. Patrick's Day, Dennis!
My "Disciples of Song" Contemporary group is working on a Mark Schultz song,
"Remember Me", which I am capoing above the 4th fret.....and tone is great,
with no buzz whatsoever anywhere up the fingerboard.
I want to Thank You and Denny AGAIN for the Humidity gauge....as I am making
sure to keep the humidity level around 45%. I think your suggestion of the damp sponge in a baggie is a lot better than the Dampit. The Dampit at least serves to add some moisture to the inside of the guitar since I am placing it in the sound hole; but it doesn't seem to be big enough to hold/dissipate much moisture.
But anyway.....SOON, I will FINALLY be able to SEE and ENJOY and LEARN from Denny's Videos!!! As slow as my dial-up was, too, I have only downloaded a few of the songs because it just takes FOREVER at this speed. Having High Speed
Cable is going to fantastic. I can't wait!
OK...enough of my yapping. Thanks again for all your attention to my every
need and concern. I continue to "sing the praises" of Denny and Dennis
Zager to everyone I know and who knows I love my Zager guitar! |
 |
09/15/2006 Dennis,
Received the Guitar today.
I was truly impressed by the Tone, Projection, and Playability of this Guitar, it outperformed my Taylor 314CE-L2. If you are looking for a 314CE-L2, it is up for auction on ebay at this moment. I will be keeping the ZAD-80-OM for quite some time.
Thank you for the great communication and transaction!
Thanks again, |

09/11/2006 Dear Sir
I'm so happy to say to you that I have received the Guitar, a few minutes back. I just had no words when I got the package in my hands !!!! I'm in tears ,Sir. I have really never felt happier than this. Its the Zager ZAD-50 !!!! and it has been sent in the Martin Case too !!!!!! Sir, I've never taken anything like this in my hands before. My Parents, my whole family wants to thank Mr.Zager for being so kind and nice to me. My Mom is so happy that she's in tears too, she has always dreamt of me becoming a good-Guitarist !!!!
Sir, I played Dust In The Wind and all other songs I've learnt in the Zager-Style. I just want to say that playing the Zager ZAD-50 is like cruising in an Aeroplane, !!!! I would say its 500% better in comfort and in Tone than anyother Guitar I've ever seen or Played. I really feel that anyone who learns on a Zager Guitar has a 1000% more chance of becoming an accomplished Guitarist. Its beyond anything I could even imagine !!!! I personally compare it like :
"Plying on other Guitars was like Riding a Bi-cycle when compared to the ZAD-50, which feels like Flying on a Fully-Automated Aeroplane !!!! It takes away 75% of the difficulties a student would have in learning guitar !!! One has to just concentrate and this Guitar will make him a GREAT PLAYER. All the technology and the hard-work which Mr.Zager would have implemented, clearly shows in the Guitar and his System too. I would say he has made life easier for Guitarists and its really a NEW-REVOLUTION in the field of Guitars !!!!"
Sir, I will take my photograph with the Guitar and I'll send it to you today. Thank you so much for the Extra Martin strings and the T-Shirt too !!!! Thanks for the Plectrums also sir. !!! Sorry If I'm sounding awkward, I really have no words to thank Mr.Zager enough !!!
Mr.Zager has really shown love and affection on me as a Dad would do for his Son, to see him as the BEST-GUITARIST in future. This just makes me feel even more responsible and my GOALS are set even higher. My GUITAR-GOD "Mr.Zager" has truly blessed me, and I wish I would live upto his expectations and make him proud. I do and will always be proud to say that I'm the student of Mr.Zager and I play ZAGER-STYLE !!!!
Sorry for the long letter sir, and thanks for everything !!!! Now only wish I have in Life is to come to the US oneday in future and meet Mr.Zager and get his blessings, in person. I think when that day comes, I'll have achieved everything in Life that I could ever imagine !!!! Thank you so much sir. Please Give Mr.Zager this letter and tell him that his Son (If I may say so) really wants to thank him, from the bottom of my heart, for being such a caring and good teacher. He's truly my GUITAR-GOD and GUITAR-WIZARD : )
I just wanted to say that my Guitar playing has surprised so many people on the forum and I'm getting atleast 3-4 Messages everyday, asking about my learning source.
With your permission,I have given them an idea on what the Zager system has done for me. It has really changed my life. As far as I believe, a few have decided or already have joined the site.
I really want as many people to get the benefit of the "WORLD'S BEST GUITAR LEARNING SYSTEM" and I really mean it from the bottom of my heart.
Lots of Regards and Affection |

09/09/2006 Hello,
My guitar arrived safely today, thank you. I already started the computer video lessons. I don't know enough about guitars to say whether I love the guitar
(it is very nice-looking) but I can say that the video lessons are amazing. Every time I have tried to learn guitar before, either on video or from a person, they always go too fast. I really like it that I can stop and practice things a little at a time before trying to put it all together.
I know in the 1960s there used to be a TV show on public television that taught guitar -- I think video - by - computer
is a big improvement!
Thanks again, |

09/08/2006 To:
Dennis Zager
Dennis Zager Junior
Greetings and Aloha from Hawaii:
First off much mahalo (thanks) to the Zagers, both Denny Jr. and Denny Sr. I am sitting here speechless (and with one of the biggest grins on my face) playing one of the best acoustic guitars ever at any price. I want you to know that you have blown away the old adages "If something sounds too good to be true it probably is too good to be true" and "You get what you pay for".
My Zager ZAD-50 arrived in flawless condition after making the side trip from Nebraska to New Jersey to Hawaii and just 3 strings had to be re-tuned. The finish of the guitar is gorgeous and the sound is excellent. Very nice highs, mid-ranges and I believe as the wood ages, the bass will open up much like my 5 year old Martin Mahogany D-15. I had the saddle lowered on my Martin D-15 about a year ago but in terms of playability, the Zager is still by far at least twice as easy to play. I can barre chords easily with out exerting the pressure I had to exert on any of the Martin frets higher than the 4th fret. Picking notes is much easier too. Chord changes are a breeze now and I can play faster and make ALL of my notes and chords cleanly.
You're going to get a lot of folks ordering this guitar from the Hawaiian islands because once they see and play this guitar, it will literally sell itself.
Playing the acoustic guitar is fun again thanks to the Zagers.
My brother (who owns more than 20 guitars) and a good friend in New Jersey will be placing orders shortly based on my feedback and positive experience with the Zager ZAD-50.
PS If you want to use me as a phone or email reference for anyone calling in from any of the Hawaiian islands, please do so. It's the least I can do to show my appreciation. Keep up the great work!!!! It's really nice to be able to buy a great sounding super-playable acoustic guitar at well under $500.00 and get a great warranty and customer service to boot.

09/05/2006 Just wanted to take a second and tell you guys how pleased I am with my new Zad 80 CE.What wonderful tone in this guitar, Great guitar and Great Service,Tony in Customer Service great job.I'm very pleased with Zager.com Thanks guys |
 |
09/05/2006 Mr. Zager,
Late last week, my guitar arrived in absolutely perfect condition. I am extremely pleased with my decision to purchase one of your guitars. I am a new novice player that got started with one of the Esteban guitar kits that my wife purchased for me at Christmas. It served to get me into my first guitar and playing it. But, the problem with playability is a real one. Those high strings on the Esteban really made it a challenge to play and therefore practice on. Then, I saw your guitars and Ebay. The rest is history. I have shown the Zager/Martin to several professional players who can't believe the quality of the guitar and "setup" for the price paid. In fact, one friend is going to purchase one of your guitars for his son. Now, I'm considering your playing lessons on your website. I figure I might as well go all the way with my plans to learn guitar now. One more thing...I can already play "bette" using your guitar which is important to me as a novice. Again, thanks for your help on all this! |
 |
09/05/2006 Dear Denny,
I received my second Zager guitar about a week ago, my ZAD 80 OM. I bought a ZAD 50 about a year ago for my wife and as you might expect, played it more than my Martin. My wife finally gave me an ultimatum, play the Martin or get another Zager. The Martin, which by the way was a fine sounding guitar, has been sold. Now, about the ZAD 80 OM. This was supposed to be a "discount guitar." For the life of me I can't figure out why, unless it is the very fine pin holes in the finish, which you have to hold just at the right angle in the light to see. I thought I knew what to expect after owning the ZAD 50, but when I opened the box and the light hit this baby, wow. The cedar top together with the full abalone inlay are quite stunning. The tone of the cedar and rosewood is really a different sound, sweet. Since I have only been playing a few years, I took the guitar to a friend who has been playing for 20+ years, to get a professional opinion. He plays in a bluegrass band and at his church, and owns several high dollar guitars. These were his comments: Wow, what kind of guitar is this? She is beautiful. I love the action. What kind of wood is this? This has an awesome sound, unlike anything I have ever played. This had to set you back a couple grand. You get the idea? He was very impressed. Then I told him what I paid for it, and his jaw dropped. He said it easily compared to $2500 guitars. Of course all that made me very proud, but what really sells a Zager for me is the playability. It really doesn't matter how a guitar looks or sounds if you can't play it. I know all this has been said before, many times, but I just had to say it again. Thanks again, for the last guitar I will ever own. |
 |
09/02/2006 Dennis Zager Jr.,
Sir, about 3-4 months ago I returned a guitar to you for servicing. You had the shipper pickup the box from my house, you serviced it , and had it returned to me within 10 days. I failed to get back with you to thank you for honoring the warranty and fixing the guitar, no questions asked. Sorry I didn't write earlier - time got away from me. I've heard tales about other major guitar manufacturers not honoring their warranties. I thank you and your father for running and honest business. I'll definitely recommend you to others and when I'm ready, buy other guitars from you. The ZAD 50 is a fine guitar - I really enjoy its sound and especially the ease of play. Sincerely, |
 |
08/30/2006 Hi; I've purchased 2 of your guitars (1 for me, 1 for my son) and we love them. So much in fact, that my beloved Martin OM-21 sits idle as both our Zagers outplay it by a mile. Imagine, my $ 2000 investment, a waste of money!! Nobody believes me until they see and play (and hear) them side by side.
