05/15/2008 Hi Zagers,
After playing a zad-20 that a friend of mine had purchased, I absolutely had to have one of my own.
I recieved my zad-20 sunburst about 3 weeks ago and love it, can't count the compliments I have had about it.
I have been playing for about 20 years and hope to learn how for real someday, but for now, I just like playing by myself or with friends & relatives just for my own entertainment.
I have read lots of the testimonials on your website and cannot think of a thing to add, I do whole heartily agree with all I have read.
The best guitar I have to compare my zager to is my Gibson Les Paul electric, and the zager plays as well if not even better and I do not have to carry around all the extra stuff, amps & such, its just easier, maybe I'm just getting old & lazy, but I do prefer having things easy & less complicated these days and my zager guitar is all that!
The only thing I can think of that may have the quality of the Zager guitar beat is the Zager quality of service ! I love the way the Zager company makes everyone feel just like one of the guy's, all one big family, and it is also very rare these days to find anything of this quality at such a reasonable price.
Keep up the good work, I will surely be passing on my total satisfaction to anyone who will listen !
Thanks and have a great day.
Sincerely, |

05/12/2008 Denny , Jim was looking for guitars on the net and really found your site purely by accident. This was probably one of the nices accidents that could have happened. The guitar Gods truly smiled down that day. After many hours of browsing your site, listening to you play and reading testimonials, we decided we just had to order a guitar. Jim wanted one but he wasn't going to get one without me - so we ordered two. The ZadC20 for Jim and the OMC20 for me. They are beautiful guitars, to look at and very nice to play.The tone and the resonance of both guitars is amazing . We had 4 other guitars prior - ended up giving one away and haven't picked up any of the others since. Jim plays hisZager guitar every day and I try to squeeze time in as much as I can. We were so excited we ordered the lessons before we received the guitars. Your lessons open the door to a very unique style of playing
Jim says he has played for many years but not really played ( I thought he was playing well ) but he always wanted more from his playing- this is an opportunity to learn a finger picking style far beyond any hopes he had. My skills are minimal and this will give me a chance to learn too.
Thanks to your Zager modified guitars and the lessons we think this will be a long and enjoyable relationship that we will share and treasure. |

05/11/2008 LOVE THIS GUITAR!
Got it same day promised in perfect shape.
Beautiful!
Did not know a setup could be that perfect. Projection and tone outstanding and the playability is incredible!
I bought this for my daughter who is a pianist and would like to learn guitar. It will be perfect for her if she can get it out of my hands.
I have been and will continue to sing the praises of this instrument. |
 |
05/09/2008 I've been playing 30 years and I know that a little set up compared to what Denny does is night and day. The volume and sound you get are amazing.
I described the wider neck and string spacing I was looking for, to fit my hand, dozens of times over a 25 year period to guitar store associates. After 25 years of blank stares, I found your website. It was like you read my mind.
Regards, |

05/09/2008 Ok, Ok...First let me say that I received my ZAD-20 A/E black ONLY 2 1/2 days after I ordered it! In perfect shape and tune! WOW, what a fabolus looking and especially sounding instrument that you provided me. Let me tell you a little about my playing experience. I took lessons when I was 12 for about a year and then quit because sports were more important. I was finishing my degree at age 46 years old and needed a "filler" class to graduate so I decided to take a guitar class. My brother in law owned a music shop and sold me, at cost, an Ovation high end acoustic/electric. I struggled through the class and long after with its Very high action. I saw your guitars on E-Bay and started my research. Finally, about a year after himming and hawing I decided to "bit the bullet" and trust what you and thousands of others said about your guitars. I know I am not that experienced but the crispness and tone of these guitars is amazing. I've played high end Guilds and heard mid-priced Martins and must admit, I was VERY,VERY impressed that your guitars exceed the sound of all I heard. Let me tell all of you who are skeptical about the claims and value/sound of these guitars. Don't be a fool like I was at wasting valuable playing time. Buy one of these and you'll also be sending an e-mail to the Zager's praising their product. Oh, by the way, as much as I pestered the Zager's I'm suprised they even wanted me to buy one. The best customer service and response time to questions, BAR NONE!! Thanks Denny and Denny Jr. God Bless you and your company.
With Warmest Regards, |

05/06/2008 It looks really beautiful and it sounds a lot richer and nicer than
those budget guitars I had before. What I can honestly say is that I love the guitar and I'm totally happy
with the purchase. Also, you guys are absolutely the nicest people I've
ever had the pleasure to deal with. Yes. I'd rather pay more (not
likely) and support your site than dealing with most of the online
merchants out there. |

05/03/2008 Hello,
My name is Robert Masters and about seven months ago I purchased a Martin Sigma DM-1 from you. First, I love this guitar and my more experienced friends love it too. I myself am only a beginner but I CAN PLAY AND I’M LEARNING MORE EVERYDAY! Here’s the situation. I take my guitar to my work office every day. Playing helps me relax some during working hours and I get a little more playing time in this way.
Thanks for all your help! |
 |
05/01/2008 Howdy Dennis,
A great big thanks from Texas for the lovely ZAD-15 I received the other day. As with the other testimonials about this fine little guitar, it's the first guitar I have ever owned that fits me so well. And it does play better and easier than the other small guitars I tried. Purchasing my guitar from you vindicates my effort to avoid impulse buying and to really seek out the one guitar I hope to have for a very long time. Now to sign up for your lessons!
Thanks for such prompt and friendly service -- I've already recommended you to a friend.
Best,
|

05/01/2008 Hi Dennis, the guitar arrived on Tues., safe and sound. Thanks for the speedy shipping. It’s a beautiful piece, and the tone is just what I was hoping for. Naturally, I was somewhat uneasy buying a guitar this way, without actually taking it for a test drive, but the reviews, testimonials, and money back guarantee gave me confidence that was fully justified after playing it. I was playing it last night through the PA system at church and got a real full, crystal clear bell-like tone. Afterwards, the music director asked to play it and the first thing she said was how easy it was to play. I told her she was very perceptive, and to look in the sound hole and read the label. We both got a laugh. I’m looking forward to many years of pleasure with this guitar. |

05/01/2008 Denny and Crew,
A big WOW! from California. And a special Thank You to my friend Scott. I received a ZAD 80 Acoustic Guitar as a gift about 30 days ago. I own a Taylor and was skeptical of the Zager, but after a month of comparing them, I actually like the Zager better. It has better tone, brighter highs and deeper longer sustained base, not to mention it looks great and is easier to play. My main reason for wanting another guitar was that I wanted something I could take camping and not have to worry about, especially since my Taylor was three times as much. This guitar went well beyond what I was expecting. It is a great service you are providing by making a truly high end guitar at a great price. I fully recommend to anyone considering a guitar, get a Zager, you have nothing to loose. |

04/27/2008 I received my ZAD 20CE a week ago and couldn't be more pleased. It is a beautiful instrument, sounds wonderful, and even makes me sound pretty good. I had purchased one of the guitars that had a blemish on the face but I forgot about that when my guitar showed up, after tinkering and delighting for an hour I remembered about the blemish and started my search, it is a week later and after multiple searches I have concluded that the Zager family is incredibly particular or that they sent a unmarred guitar, I think it is the former.
The Zager service is unmatched, Dennis was prompt and polite with all questions and problems I had it is a rare and relaxing feeling to have a compitent and concerned person on your side when shipping dificulties arise. I am very impressed with the guitar and the service. Thank you Dennis for all your help. |

04/25/2008 Jerry Heiser, here.I just now unpacked my new ZAD-20. It was packed very well and made the trip to Morehead City, NC in perfect shape. Thank you. The instrument is beautiful. It is everything it was said to be on the website and more. I just recently picked up the guitar again, having not taken any lessons since I was 9 or ten years. I'm now going on 61 and was raised in the same generation as your father. What a lucky man you are to have grown up with such a talented influence. Although I'm not a guitarist (yet) but having been an artist, sculptor, medical illustrator and recently retired from th NC Maritime Museum as the Exhibit Designer, I know a lot about design abd craftsmanship. This is what I see,and more importantly,can feel in this guitar. It just "feels" better in my hands, the balance and finish are first rate. I was getting VERY frustrated with my old guitar. I just couldn't play, for example, a G7 chord to save my life. That was my litmus test with the ZAD-20. After just two tries, I played my first G7 in almost 20 years. I'm excited about the possibility of actually being able to practice and learn to play the guitar. I plan on signing up for the lessons. If the lessons are as good as the guitar itself, I have no hesitations. Again, thank you and Denny, for a wonderful guitar and the opportunity to learn. As we used to say in Nam - Rock On!
Sincerely, |
 |
04/24/2008 Love the guitar, everytime I play it I get the "hey, that sounds great...what is it??" FUN! |
 |
04/21/2008 Mr. Zager, I received my discount but absolutely gorgeous Sigma about two hours ago via UPS. I am truly thrilled, and for many reasons, first, this was a total surprise from my wife for my 20th birthday, second, I have wanted a quality guitar since childhood.
I started teaching myself to play about 4 months ago, I am by no means an expert on the guitar, playing it or otherwise, but, I do know and understand fine workmanship. This is it, the big kahuna, king daddy, in a nutshell outstandingly fine work.
You sir have my vote at any time in any place in any situation, hands down.
Anyway, I have been plucking away on an old Ibanez electric my son gave me, it's ok but doesn't stay in tune more than a couple of practice sessions. I'm not heavy handed so it's not that, I think it's just not a quality guitar. Ok for a beginner I guess but then why would you want to make a beginner spend half his time tinkering with the guitar instead of playing it?
Silly me right?
Thank you Mr. Zager, you do fine work and you have every right to be proud, I love my guitar even if it's not a ZAD20 or 80. It sounds great, it's in tune, even the tiny flaw you pointed out is nothing compared to the beauty of the piece.

04/21/2008 Denny,
I recently went to the local guitar store and fell in love with the Ibanez Euphoria Steve Vai. Nice guitar.Pretty. Playable. I was thinking to sell my Zager. Then I went back again to see if I still liked it? I was comparing to my Zager 80CE. No comparison. Especially on the lows but generally the sound on my Zager is way better. My Zager is also more playable. Thanks for supplying this awesome guitar! |
 |
04/21/2008 I bought a Zager a year and half ago, the 80Ce acoustic/electric.
It is a solid guitar, really great sound, really great tone. I must say that it was a great price for the quality. I'm sure if I bought a Martin at that price, it wouldn't be as good as the Zager I got. I've played some higher end Taylors and Martins- they are definitely nice, but you absolutely cannot go wrong on the quality of this guitar for this price. I have been playing guitar for about 8-9 years. |

04/18/2008 Dear Denny:
I've had my new ZAD-20CE for just over a week now. I'm sure I've played it more in a week than I've ever played a guitar in my life. I've been playing for about 35 years, but I'm not an advanced player at all. I've often said I needed a guitar that was easier to play, especially for bar chords, because I have small hands and short fingers. I happened to be saying this one day to a local golf club maker and repairer I've known for awhile when I was getting some clubs regripped. I had stepped into his office and noticed some guitars there and got to talking. He told me that he had recently seen something about a guitar that was made to be easier to play. To make a long story shorter, I walked out of there with new grips on my irons and with your web address. I read about Zager Easy-Play guitars on your site for a couple of months before deciding to take the plunge and order one.
I have only owned 3 other guitars in my life, and still have 2 of them, a 6-string Takamine acoustic (a cheap model I bought used from a college student in Cincinnati after my own original guitar--a Toyota; never seen one before or since--was stolen in a break-in about 25 years ago) and a 12-string Alvarez Yairi that I've owned since I was 14 (i.e. 34 years). I liked the sound of both of my guitars, but found them (especially the 6-string) difficult to play.
After a week playing only the Zager, I got my Takamine out tonight to compare. I was shocked not only at how much easier the Zager was to play, but also how much better it sounded than my old guitar. I knew the Takamine was not an expensive model, but I had always thought it had a nice, full sound. In fact, my main hesitation in buying the Zager was not being able to hear it played before purchasing. But now I'm sold on not only the ease of play and good looks of the Zager, but also how good it sounds.
I had a good friend and neighbor over to see it yesterday (In fact, I had told him about your website and he sent you a note a few weeks ago and was impressed that he got a personal response). He is a very good guitarist, so I let him play it. Almost the first thing he said was to mention another mutual friend who has a high-end Martin guitar, and that he bet if you played the two side by side, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
All of this is to say that I'm very happy with my purchase. I've been telling my guitar-playing friends about it, at least one of whom is right now in the market to make a purchase, having recently traded his 6-string acoustic Sigma for a 12-sting. I also want to take it by my golf club maker's shop to let him try it. He mentioned that he's got some arthritis in his hands that makes it difficult to play (golf OR guitar). Since he's the one that put me onto your company, I want to let him see the guitar in person.
Thanks for making a product that met my need for an easier-to-play guitar that looks and sounds good. I'm more excited about playing and trying to improve than I've ever been before. It's fun again (and a lot less painful).
Sincerely. |
 |
04/15/2008 I've had my zad20 for nearly and month now and just wanted to say again how impressed I am with your guitars. The action is really good and the sound is great. The appearance is stunning. Thanks again for another great guitar. |

04/13/2008 Good Afternoon-
A couple of weeks ago I received a big surprise form my wonderful wife Joan for my 47th birthday. A ZAD-80 acoustic,
I had mentioned your guitars to her a several months back, I told her I was looking at these as an alternative to a rosewood Martin that I was saving for. I was surprised she found you. Your staff was very helpful to her on the purchase.
It is a beautiful guitar and the sound is full and mellow on the bass and bright and clear on the high end, great balance. I have played it for several hours. I love the sound and playability of this guitar.
At Christmas I had played a new Martin HD-28 ( $2600 ) and a local retailer and I think the guitar is equal in sound and actually easier to play. Both my sons play guitar and I was picking up new strings and music for them so I also spent some time in center's acoustic room. |

04/12/2008 Hello Denny, I have your Zad 20 , Which I dearly love, Great Great Guitar, I'm still not very good but if it had not been the EZ play I would have giving up months ago. |
 |
04/11/2008 I purchased your Zad-80 OM last year for lessons. I love it. I take
group lessons with 12 other people with a mix of Martins, Guilds and other
guitars. Everyone seems to want to play your Zager insted of their guitars.
Thank you for making such a wonderful guitar. |
 |
04/09/2008 Hello Denny and the Zager team... I just received my ZAD 80CE and I must say, this guitar is better in life than the photos on your website! Workmanship is excellent! I played this guitar for a few hours now and the sound is astounding. Thank you. |
 |
04/09/2008 I have been surpised by a gift of a zad-20ce. This gift is from my wonderful daughter Melissa.This insturment has very nice craftmanship. The sound of this guitar is amazing crisp,clear tone. I will have more to say after playing the guitar for a while. Thanks for a great insturment. |
 |
04/06/2008 Hi Dennis,
I don't have a question, just a word of thanks. I received my ZAD-20CE two days ago and I'm thrilled to have it. It arrived just before my weekly in-home lesson and my guitar teacher couldn't put it down. He was amazed by the look, the low action, the rich sound and the lack of buzz. I enjoyed my old Yamaha but even two days later I can't imagine playing anything else. Thanks for a terrific guitar. I look forward to playing it for years to come.
Best wishes, |
 |
04/03/2008 Denny,
I received my ZAD 80CE yesterday and can not but it down. I have been playing about four years I have a Taylor, Fender, Washburn, and have played some Martians guitars. This is the best one of all. Thanks for your support and keep up the great work on modifying your guitars. I know this an old story but it would cost much more for the same quality of guitar. |
 |
04/01/2008 I have purchased three guitars since I've been playing. Two were from music shops, the third was yours. In a matter of 10 minutes you have helped me more than any guitar shops I have purchased a guitar from. Your product, like your company, is absolutely legit. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work. |
 |
04/01/2008 Dear Denny, Dennis Jr, and the whole Z-Team,
My new ZAD-80 is in class by itself. After several years of searching and investing too many dollars, I finally found the instrument I have been looking for in the ZAD-80. This is after countless hours in the local acoustic music stores trying out their medium and upper-end handcrafted Asian and Canadian guitars. Try as I might, I couldn't justify the cost to move up from my entry level guitars. The thought of going through the in-store set-up and getting it right, which seemed to be necessary for these $1,200 to $2,000 instruments, was always in the back of my mind. In dealing with the store front retailers, once you buy it it's yours for better of for worse. I heard a friend of mine talking on the local amateur radio repeater about his new 3/4 size Zager and when I asked more, he put me on to your web site. Once I learned about your guarantee, it was a no-brainer - the only question was which model to start out with. After playing your ZAD-80 for the past ten days, the only question now is which model to buy next! The ZAD-80 has great tone all the way up the neck and sounds and sustains great. The action and playability is way to-o-o-o smooth. I am convinced that there is something special with regard to your String Science - what a total performance package! The only thing that exceeds your guitars is your level of customer service. Both before and after buying, my e-mails have always been promptly and truthfully answered. The team in Lincoln has gone above and beyond what was necessary or expected to respond to my inquiries. You have a first rate product that plays superbly right out of the box. Your claims are factual and, if anything, understated. Keep up the good work and keep an eye out for my next order! |
 |
04/01/2008 To all at Zager Guitar: Like so many others that have written to you, I'm delighted with not only the guitar, but also the service.
I ordered the ZAD 20 CE from the discounted guitars at around 8:30 AM last Thursday and received it at 1:30 PM on Friday. I've shown the guitar to four different people and even gave them an idea where to look for the finish crack and none of them could find it without my help.
I've been playing off and on for the last 41 years and all though I've never owned a real expensive guitar I have had the opportunity to play several. The ZAD 20 really does compare very closely to even the $3,200.00 piece my cousin in Houston has. The action is so light I'm having a blast just seeing how light I can go without getting a buzz out of the thing. The Sunburst model is a thing of beauty. |
 |
03/28/2008 4 Days after receiving the guitar...It's absolutely the best! I love this thing. Even my wife is asking me to play it again and again. Simply the best sounding guitar I've put my hands on. Thanks for making it. |
 |
03/26/2008 OK. I've had my Zager for a month now. And I am in love with it!!! It is everything it's said to be. Really easy to play. The action is very low and with the low frets it is very comfortable to play. I've been playing for over 40 years and can say this is absolutely the best playing acoustic I've ever played. And I've played them all. The Zager plays almost as well as my Les Paul!!! Hard to believe an acoustic could play so well. I use a lot of barre chords and so have to move around a lot on the fretboard. That can be very painful on the hand and the fingers due to different positions and sliding up and down the frets. But not anymore! I don't need a lot of pressure to make the chords now and sliding doesn't tear my fingers up anymore. After playing my Zager my other acoustics feel like I'm sliding over speed bumps instead of frets.
And it sounds great too. Straight acoustic or plugged into my PA or amp. I am very impressed with the electronics on this guitar. I own a Fender,an Ibanez, and an Ovation acoustic electric but none of them sound near as good as my Zager. The built-in tuner is great too although I don't need to use it that much. My Zager pretty much stays in tune. Great!
I play gigs regularly and I've used my Zager now for 2 acoustic gigs. It's great to be able to play 2 long sets without my hands killing me. Not only do my hands not hurt but I play better and get much more enjoyment out of it. I find that I practice more often and for longer now. I love the full bodied sound my Zager has unplugged in the middle of my living room. Much of the time when the guys come over to practice we go unplugged due to just how great it sounds. They are also very impressed with my Zager.
I am a very happy customer and want to thank you for making a truly great, affordable guitar. |
