08/04/2006 I also wanted to tell you that I have one of your original modified guitars. I have enjoyed that guitar immensely but it has accrued in value and I am not comfortable traveling with it. It is my stay at home guitar plus my son is also playing the guitar and he is so much more talented then I that I would like to pass it on to him as part of my legacy to him. I quit playing the guitar for about 20 years and I am beginning again. I still use your finger picking style that you taught me so many years ago. The guitar and your finger style arrangements provide me with many moments of enjoyment and I thank you for the time you spent teaching me this method.
I am very glad that you are still teaching and modifying guitars. I sure appreciate those modifications when I play.
I am in big hurry and can wait for a blem.
Thanks again for all your good work.
Best wishes |

08/02/2006 I recently recorded a song with the Zager Zad 20 I recently purchased. I recorded this with a Dean Markley pick up so it probably takes away some of the beauty of the guitar. Feel free to put this song on your web site. It isn't copyrighted. The title of the song is Calico Girl. You can download it from this web site. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=477036

08/01/2006 Denny, first of all thanks for the great guitar. I took lessons for about 6 months when i was 7 years old and am now 46. i have bought several guitars thinking i would learn how to play but always stopped because of sore fingers and frustration. My son is 25 and can play awsome, but has been playing for 15 years. My daughter used to play until she was about 9. Now she is 16 and last night picked up my new Zager and started playing again and fell in love with it .I did not tell her it was an easy play. She played for an hour and next thing i new she was looking for her old lesson books. Now for me I have played every day since i got it and am learnig fast. A dream i never thought i could have come true. NO SORE FINGERS. I will see if she stays playing with mine and if so i will but another one for her. |

07/31/2006 Denny Sr & Jr,
Well, what can I say. I was wowed by the ZAD 20 from the moment I opened the hard-shell case. Then I played it and WOW wasn't enough.
I am no legendary guitar player, haven't even owned one for about twelve years, but I recognized a good thing as soon as I held it. It is a beautifully made and engineered instrument. I have been talking about your guitar to every ear who would listen since placing the order. One of those sets of ears belong to a friend who has played professionally for a long time. He wanted to see and play it as soon as I received it so he could give an opinion. I received the guitar on Friday and took it to him at work the following Saturday morning. He took it from the case and and made the remark about how beautiful it looked. He sat down and played it and less than five minutes later asked me how to order him one just like it. I gave him your 800 number and he tried several times on Saturday only to get your answering machine. He then asked me how I placed my order and I explained that I placed the order thru your website. He now has a ZAD 20 CE/BK on order.
He now has a $2200 M----- for sale, if you know of any interested parties.
I think I may have a couple more sales for you, make sure you have the stock!
It is rare indeed in this day and time to get what anywhere near what you paid for. This is one time where I got MORE than I paid for. If anyone gets to read this other than the Zagers, get this deal now while you can, these guitars are easily worth 4 to 5 times the price. One day they will be "the best investment you ever made".
In closing, I just want to say to the both of you; keep on doin whatcha doin, cause you are doin it well. |

07/29/2006 Hello. I have been playing my ZAD - 80CE for about a month now. I have been playing guitar for 40 years, and this one is wonderful. Amazing sound, amazing action. Everyone tells me my playing has changing dramatically, but it's just a great guitar. Thank you. |

07/26/2006 Hi again,
Everyone who touches the guitar is astonished. I took it to church to try out the pick-up on our sound system and the worship leader told the guitarist, "you're playing that guitar today!"
Thanks!

07/23/2006 Dear Denny,
I only became one of your online students seven hours ago. I have spent most of that time in the Starting Out section, and I wanted to tell you how pleased I am already, and I am very confident that I will be able to learn to play the guitar.
I have never played a guitar in my life, but for some reason I started daydreaming of playing the guitar, and for one week I could not stop thinking about it day and night. I would even fall asleep strumming a guitar in my slumber. I did not really want to have a guitar because I felt incompitent to learn how to play one. But this mysterious drive I had inside me caused me to give in, so I bought the cheapest guitar I could find within my budget - an Ibanez Quick Start guitar. One day, I hope to be able to afford to buy a Zager!
In particular, I wanted to thank you with all my heart for your careful understanding about Patience! You practically devoted an entire video to telling your students to take it slow, and why you should take it slow -- and that is exactly what I needed to hear. I have been a slow learner my whole life. I have to push 10 times harder just to get to the level that others might understand right away. I'm not stupid by any means, I just don't learn as quick. So, the fact that you stress slowing down, and taking your time to learn "one thing" REALLY well, instead of a bunch of things wrong was the most encouraging thing to me! Thank you so much for your patient teaching methods!
After I bought my guitar I searched online for guitar lessons because I can not afford live classes or an instructor. I searched many sites that were less expensive than yours, but they didn't explain very much at all, their videos were too short, or they didn't offer any, and it seemed they were not as concerned as how well their students learned and played. I was even leary of the claims you made in your advertisements, but you offered a money back guarantee which they didn't, so I felt I had nothing to lose. Actually, I didn't even have the money to sign up with you. I prayed and asked God that if it was his will for me to learn from you that he would provide the money. That very night a lady bought enough of my Christmas Ornaments that I sell online to cover the expense of the course!
So, I am one happy camper and I thank you for putting SO MUCH into your teaching methods and videos. You can believe that I will recommend your site!!!
God bless you Denny |

07/21/2006 Dear Denny and Dennis,
I received my ZAD-20CE yesterday and I've been playing
it for a couple of hours. The guitar's very low
action, wider string space, and great tone is exactly
like everything you say on your website. Thank you for
the extras!!
Ladies in gentlemen, Denny Zager autographs their
guitars. I didn't realize what this really meant until
I got the guitar. This to me is a stamp of approval
that they are proud of their product and stake their
entire confidence and reputation on it. It tells me
that if I ever have any questions or problems with the
guitar, they will be there to help me. This is how you
run a winning word-of-mouth business.
Denny, I hope that you've already thought of handing
down your "secret" so that it will not get lost for
generations to come. I will be a future buyer and I
will most likely recommend Zagers (as a better value
for your money than the excellent/expensive Martins)
to guitar playing friends of any level.
For a very decent/competitive price, the value I am
getting is priceless! |
 |
07/21/2006 Just a note to say that I received my guitar several weeks ago and have had difficulty putting it down. I've been playing off and on (mostly on) since the late 60s. I don't think there's much else that gives me so much enjoyment; which makes this guitar, with its amazing sound, such a great purchase.
You make a superior instrument and I'm proud to own a Zager.
Sincerely, |

07/21/2006 Hi,
Today is my birthday and I wanted to let you know that I received my Zager Acoustic guitar as a gift. It was a complete surprise, as I haven't played in about 25 years, but when I picked it up I was moved to tears. It is just a beautiful guitar and feels so good in my hands. It arrived in pristine condition and sounds great. I'd been wanting another guitar, basically since the day I sold my Ovation, so many years ago. To me, Martin always represented the best, so that, combined with your fine craftsmanship and innovations make this the perfect guitar for me. I am currently tearing through boxes in the garage, looking for all of my old guitar picks and music. It is just the best birthday present I've ever received...
Thanks! |
 |
07/17/2006 Received my guitar yesterday and it sounds fantastic! Thanks! |
 |
07/15/2006 I just got my zager, and its ten times better then i thought it was going to be sounds like a thousand dollar guitar yet its 400. Keep up the good work denny and denny jr. Your guitars kick ass. (You should be charging more) |
 |
07/14/2006 If you're like me and dont know if you should believe the other testimonials (as I am likely the biggest skeptic you will ever know), then believe this one. The string science system is everything they say it is. I read about it for weeks and decided with the money back guarantee i had nothing to lose. Now I see why they can offer such a guarantee. My new Zager ZAD-20CE is a blast to play. I've only had it a week, but when I took it back to college my room mates and other friends that play couldnt believe how much better I sounded.
I never told them that I HADN'T been practicing for hours every day over the summer like they thought. In fact I hardly played at all until this guitar came, now I cant put it down.
Thanks Mr. Zager, |
 |
07/11/2006 Just wanted to let you know that over a year ago I purchased a guitar from you guys. It is a joy to play. Just this week I purchased a small acoustic amp and a Dean Markley Pro Mag plus pickup that slides in the sound hole. This guitar sounds awesome amplified even with the cheap pickup and small amp. Thanks again for a great sounding and playing guitar. I have a friend who may want to purchase one of your blem guitars in the near future!
Thanks again, |

07/11/2006 Magnificent, Magnificent, Magnificent!!!
As I was used to the large dreadnought neck of my Martin, for the first five minutes I was a little disappointed and confused. By the end of ten minutes the trumpets had sounded and - miracles were occuring beneath my fingertips.
Your father's right. There's an old saying "don't sweat the small stuff and it's all small stuff." The sale you have made to me will probably generate 2 to 5 more sales at a minimum. I will likely buy another myself to make certain I am not separated from my new best friend in the event it needs attention. Like many of your other customers I like to put the hours behind my guitar.
Rekindled my love affair with my guitar. Spent an hour on three simple chords drawing out melodies that I had worked on my Martin for months to produce and consequently sent it to it's case in frustration. Effortless slides, crystal clear hammer ons and triplets using a minimum of pressure.
Straight pick, flat pick, finger pick this guitar hums in the hands. I had started shopping for an electric firmly believing what I wanted to do could not be accomplished on an acoustic. Not so!
Now I'll have the versatility of an acoustic and an electric in one guitar. I think the guitar I purchased is a ZAD 80 CE. Names don't mean a lot to me, but I'm sure it's a Zager and I'm unequivocally pleased. I was also surprised at the beauty of the instrument. I wasn't expecting such a fine looking piece. You couldn't buy this guitar back from me for four times the price I paid.
I also intend to enroll in the lessons. A person never gets to good to learn and the price your charging for them is extremely reasonable.
I appreciate the time and patience it took to you learn and develop string science to this level.
Thank you very much for your efforts. I for one will enjoy them for the rest of my life ( and many more of my family and friends will probably do so as well when they discover what a wonderful instrument I own and what a reasonable price I paid for it.) |

07/11/2006 Dennis Jr,
I want to get this out to you before we leave tomorrow to go over to the Harrisburg, PA area for my wife to do a concert tomorrow and speak to a woman's group on Thursday. She's at work right now. I was trying to get my wife to email you about the guitars, but alas I am writing it. She says she's to busy to get on the computer ( She hasn't even looked at the lessons online yet) and that she is not a big time guitar player that has played allot of different guitars to compare it to. She does like the guitar, but I don't get the response like I got from the guy that has the Taylors. He has been crippled from birth and he needs to have a capo on so he can play, but he could play the Zager without the capo. He has had one or two Taylor guitars given to him by Doyle Dykes.
Thanks for getting the guitars here before her concert.
Thanks, |
 |
07/08/2006 Will absolutely leave nothing but positive feedback for you guys and wish you all the very best success you deserve. Anything I can do other than spreading the word and showing off my 80CE to promote you guys just let me know. I wore my Zager tee shirt around Hilton Head, S.C. all last week, so hopefully someone noticed!!!
Thanks! |
 |
07/05/2006 Dennis,
I wanted to let you and your Dad know that I received the new ZAD-20CE, and was absolutely overwhelmed with what I saw and heard. This is a beautifully well crafted instrument, that looks, sounds and plays like a really expensive guitar that most stores keep in the back room under glass.
I am by no means an expert guitarist, but do have a good ear for tone and I know quality when I see and feel it, and this guitar has both. I want to thank you for the care and preparation you put into getting this instrument to me just the way you promised it would be. Everything about my experience with you and your company has been first class. It's nice to deal with people who deliver absolutely what you promise and more.
Thank you and keep up the great work, I'm impressed!
Thanks, |

07/03/2006 My Zad 80-CE arrived a week ago in perfect condition with a really well-fitting good quality Zager case. The guitar plays beautifully. I already have a 12-string guitar + two 6 string guitars and a Martin bass. This guitar will be used mostly without amplifier because of its strong, well balanced tone.
The ZAD 80-CE is still easy to handle and play.
The Zagers shipped immediately, good service, friendly people!
These guitars are obviously worth to be known/sold even outside the USA. |
 |
07/02/2006 When I received my Zager guitar and began to play it , I thought ' it doesn't play any easier than my Fender'. But I was pressing hard on the strings like I have to do with my Fender. I realized that I had to learn to play all over again, appling less pressure. I found that I can just lay my fingers on the strings and play. I am truly amazed. Now I worry that I will lose the calluses on my fingers and won't be able to play my Fender. Denny, you are truly a genius. |

07/01/2006 Dear Mr. Zager and Dennie:
Hi. This is Margaret Kean here. Just a short note to tell you where we are at. I took some lessons when I was a girl, but it was my hubby of 20 years who was the guitar player. He does a mean "Wake up little Susie" (but not much else).
First of all, like all the others, I was skeptical of buying any guitar online. I am a contemporary of Mr. Zager. I figured, if I haven't been able to learn after all these years, I can't do it. I bought a Martin Backpacker, and enrolled in an adult guitar course where I actually learned some things/ I read all the rave reviews for your site, and ultimately decided to give it a try. When I got the guitar, my husband rolled his eyes, a bit upset that I'd wasted the money on another guitar, when he had a decent Yamaha acoustic-electric I could have used.
Since that time, I've been hard pressed to get your Zager guitar out of his hands. Every time I practice, he says "give me that guitar..." or "let me see that guitar..." He positively loves your guitar. I asked him why he wants to play my guitar so much, and he responds because he can play it, as opposed to his Yamaha.
I have not enrolled in your online lessons. They seem pretty interesting, and I am working on them. It makes sense. It's certainly different from everything else. As you can see, I ought to live in New Hampshire (the "Show Me" State). In the lessons, Mr. Zager is the most unpretentious man in the world (this is a good thing). He never makes one feel like a jerk for one's lack of skill. I actually have hope that I might actually one day play Love Me Tender (in addition to "Goodnight Irene.").
I've been very impressed with your stuff so far, and that's high praise coming from me.
Very truly yours, |
 |
06/29/2006 Dennis,
I guess I was just a little skeptical at first. The more I play it, the more I like it. I had been playing an electric and there is a difference, but I love the ZAD20CE! The guys at the music shop I take lessons from, love it too. You guys ROCK!!
Before I retired last year, I spent the majority of my career in customer service, either as a rep or as a manager. I know how important word of mouth and good customer service is to a business. When I am pleased with something, I say so, conversely, when I am upset about a product or service, I also say so. I can find nothing wrong with either your product or your service. I only wish I was near Nebraska so I could visit and meet you and Denny. You can depend on me to continue to extol the virtues of your products, service and technology at every opportunity. |
 |
06/29/2006 Dennis,
I'm totally enjoying my new guitar. I will continue to sing your praises as long as I have an ear.
Thanks, |
 |
06/26/2006 Mr. Zager, I absolutely love my ZAD-20CE! I used it
for a show on the 4th of July. I played for approx. 2
1/2 hours and had ZERO hand fatigue or soreness in my
fingers! Your claims are 100% spot on! Thanks again for an
absolutely wonderful playing experience! |
 |
06/23/2006 I purchased a Zad-20.... The guitar is AWESOME!! Thanks... |
 |
06/21/2006 My new ZAD20CE arrived yesterday in the hard shell case. It is beautiful. I was able to take it with me to my Monday afternoon guitar lesson and my instructor was quite impressed with the look and sound. I am looking forward to becoming worthy enough to play this fine instrument in the manner it should be played. I signed up for the online lessons, too, so maybe these old hands and fingers will be able to play yet. Thanks. |
 |
06/21/2006 You guys have got to be the absolute most awsome seller on ebay!!
Your response time is amazing.
Thanks. |
 |
06/21/2006 Hi, Dennis,
I wanted to give you some feedback on my Zager ZAD-20CE, now that I've had it for about three weeks.
I looked at a lot of guitars before I bought the Zager. I considered Seagulls and less expensive Martins and Alvarezes. All of them are high-quality guitars with a solid history of good workmanship. I had an Alvarez Yairi about 20 years ago that has been my frame of reference for the sound and quality I wanted -- great resonance covering the range from lows to highs -- the Yairi just rang. I would have purchased another, but their prices are now way out of my budget. So after much looking, and taking up salespeople's time in guitar shops in the Seattle area, I picked the Zager -- not without some trepidation, though.

06/17/2006 I love my new Zad80CE. It is almost as effortless to play as my Ibanez George Benson electric!
