02/26/2010 Denny, thanks so much for my new case!! I received it today in Florida, as you might remember my new Zager ZAD 50 came to me last week. I was stunned with the beauty of this wonderful instrument and that was before I even got the courage to strum it. The sound is so full and rich with a deep resonant bass and bright ringing high notes. I played quite a bit as a young man but I didnn't learn alot of songs so my goal now is to learn songs. I know alot of chords but now I am learning my right hand work. I used to have an Augustino Guitar made by Augie Luprenzi who lived near me when I lived in New Hope Pa. My brother worked for him and was paid in instruments and it was beautiful but the sound does'nt compare with yours and the playability of yours is also incomparable. I looked at the high priced instruments but didn't purchase one as I thought they were overpriced and frankly a bit snobbish about the whole thing. When I came across your instruments and the testimonials for them and for you as a company and then realized the value of the money back guarantee I thought "this is definitely worth a try". I didn't want a Martin reworked simply for the Martin name. I wanted a Zager because of your Dad and you and your attention to detail. I heard that your Dad was going to retire which made me want your guitar even more. Keep up the good work. I sing your praises to everyone I talk to. I'll be in touch again soon. I Love It!! I am a woodworker and I enclosed a small heart box for you because you always enclose something from your end. I hope it reminds you that we (your customers) are very appreciative of your efforts and care as much for you as you do for us! God Bless You and Your Family! I will be signing up for your lessons very soon. Thanks Again!!

02/22/2010 Hi Denny, First off let me say that I love the guitar! The action is fantastic! It allows me to hit every note on some bar chords that I couldn't hit with my other acoustic. The sound is also great. It sounds so crisp. Thanks for making a great guitar!

02/20/2010 Dennis, I just wanted to drop you a note stating I have received my guitar. I was very pleasantly surprised with all of the additional items included with my purchase. The picture of Denny playing my guitar was a nice touch. What surprised me even more was the fact that you included a Zager t-shirt and what surprised me the most was the guitar stand that was included! That was a shock but very much appreciated. I'm trying to think of the last time a company went above and beyond the purchase of an item the way you have and I am drawing a blank. Just amazing. As you are well aware, I purchased an E-Z Play Zager ZAD50 black acoustic that was discounted because Denny had used it for a video or something and it was supposedly in "less than perfect" condition. I almost wonder if you have sent me the wrong guitar because I have examined this instrument very closely top to bottom and front to back and side to side and can find no flaws what-so-ever. Fortuneately, possession is 9/10 of the law so I am keeping this very fine guitar. Your communication was outstanding and our transaction was a breeze. What a great company to do business with. Obviously, I will be recommending your company and products to my friends. Thanks again.

02/19/2010 Hi Denny, I have been trying to do this a week ago but I have been having too much fun playing my ZAD-50 CE guitar. This is such amazing looking and playing guitar. It was great working with you. The guitar was still in tune when it got here. The guitar case I got from you was nice and fits my guitar like a glove. Thanks alot.

02/16/2010 Hi Dennis, I had a friend over last evening for dinner and showed him my new Zad 80Ce and the lessons program. He was so impressed he went home and ordered a Zad 50 from you and will sign up for lessons once he has received his guitar. We were on your web site all night long looking and learning. He had taken lessons at a music store for two years at 40.00 a half hour and wound up as Denny says. He knows a few chords which is a little start but hardly worth the time and money he spent. The Denny Zager package can't be beat, the guitar, the service, and the wonderful lessons. I can't say enough about you folks--you're the best!!!

02/16/2010 Hello Denny. The guitar arrived this afternoon but I wasn't home to receive it as I was at the dentist's office. After I got home with clean teeth, the wife says, there's a big package in the front room and it's for you! I immediately knew what it was and I excitedly opened the box, removed the packing materials from the guitar case and opened it....WOW, WOW, WOW......I couldn't believe my eyes!! The ZAD 80 CE is a stunning guitar.....cedar face, inlays, rosewood back and sides, gold tuners....BEAUTIFUL!! I strummed and picked the strings...Oh my gosh, the sound was awesome. I quickly checked the tuning by using the built in electronic FISHMAN tuner.....it was sooo easy to tune....the Grover tuners are very smooth. Did I mention that the electronic tuner is outstanding! Anyway, I started playing...you have to understand, my first steel string guitar was a Martin 000-18 that I bought in 1972 and foolishly sold in 1985 so I've not had a steel stringed guitar since. Anyway, as I continue playing my new ZAD 80 CE, marvelling at the ease of playing chords up and down the fabulous neck, the wife pipes from from the den, "that is a beautiful sounding guitar." And I say, "yea everyone says that about ZAGER guitars!" After a while, I go into the music room to plug the guitar into a Kustom practice amp that I bought on a fluke a year ago (it has sat unused till today) and....WOW the guitar sounded equally awesome through the practice amp. I am still stunned at the beauty, ease of playing, incredible sound of my new guitar. One of my colleagues at work plays a high end Taylor guitar (don't recall the model number) but he paid 2600.00 dollars and it did sound good when he let me strum it a couple of weeks ago....however, I know without a shadow of doubt that my ZAD 80 CE will sound as good if not better and at a 1/3 of the cost! Denny, you are doing a wonderful service in bringing joy to guitar players of all ages...did I mention that I am 57 years and yes I remember 2525 from my days in high school! I greatly appreciate the whole experience of buying a very high quality guitar from you and I look forward to learning from you as I visit your website in the future. God Bless you and yours. Keep up the great work!! Sincerely,

02/13/2010 Denny, I purchased the Zad80 acoustic about 2 years ago. I still love it. I have 4 other guitars, including a very expensive Ovation. Every time I try to play one of them, it hurts too much so I don't get them out anymore. I finally sold my business so I am offically "retired." Now I will have the time to devote to your lessons. I will be signing up soon. I really want to learn your style. 61 shouldn't be to old to learn something new. Keep up the good work,

02/10/2010 I have had my guitar for close to a month, and It is every thing you said it would be. It is cool to go somewhere and everyone is playing, and bragging on thier guitars, and they ask what kind is it that I have, cause they haven't heard of it, and when they play it, they are blown away. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!

02/08/2010  I was very excited to get my ZAD 50. I was even more pleased after taking it out of the box. This is without a doubt, the best guitar I have ever owned. The guitar plays very easy. My fingers are out of shape, but I played for at least a hour and a half. NO PAIN ! The strings are very easy to push down, and the action is great. It has a great sound and I can only expect that it will continue to get even better. My wife commented on how good it sounds compared to my other guitars. This guitar is absolutely great looking ! It is everything you advertise, and even more. I have already recommended that my brother get a Zager Guitar. By the way, the Zager web site is one of the best. It was easy to navigate, the information was understandable, and to the point. I was on a lot of other sites and found them hard to use and even harder to get any real guitar information. In all honesty, part of the reason I purchased one of your guitars, is because of your site. I know you are running a business, but you come across like you really care about your customers. The other reason is because you just plain convinced me to take a chance on your product. Its a great product for a great price. I don’t mind spending the money for a product as good as yours ! THANKS FOR A GREAT PRODUCT!

02/07/2010 Hi Denny/Denny Jr., I just received my new black Zad50 CE a couple of hours ago! It is a beautiful instrument, and I am loving the sound. Its nice to play. I started to play last year for the first time at age 56.( I always wanted to play, but never made time) I own an Applause AE32 and an Ovation Celebrity CK-047,but this really sounds great! Also thanks for the guitar stand, strings,T-shirt and picks. I'm going to check out my free lesson, and sign up for the lessons (I've never had formal ones) after I get my buzzing corrected. Once again, thanks, I am happy to be part of the Zager 'family'.

02/06/2010 Thanks once again for your commitment to quality and customer service. I will definitely recommend your product to anyone looking for a quality instrument. I'm having a hard time choosing a favorite between my 50-OM and my 80-CE. Even my new 15 has the same quality tone and just as easy to play. My granddaughter is going to love learning how to play with that one. Thanks Again.

02/04/2010 Hi Denny, WOW!!! What more can I say that everyone else who purchased a Zager guitar hasn't already said! This is hands down the easiest guitar I have ever played! It not only looks beautiful, it sounds beautiful! This guitar doesn't just play notes and chords, it literally sings! That is about the best way I can explain the sound the comes from it, IT SINGS!! Amazing, this is the 4th acoustic guitar I have purchased and I may as well sell the other 3 since I won't be playing them anymore! Thanks again for all your help!

02/04/2010 Hi Denny, My ZAD80CE has arrived today!! I was impressed right out of the box as it only needed a slight adjustment to be in tune. I visited many music stores and played Martins & Guilds priced several thousand dollars more then your guitar and they didn't play any easier. This is by far the most perfect sounding guitar I have ever played in my entire life. Thank you Denny.

02/01/2010 I received my Zager guitar last month.I have been unable to open the shipping box until this past weekend.I was more than impressed by the looks and feel of the guitar. I had picked a discounted guitar because of the unusual blond streak on the face of the guitar.Wanted one that would stand out in a crowd.Once I opened the hardcase and viewed the guitar in person I knew my decision to purchase was correct.I had communicated with your son on many occasions. He answered all the questions and provided pictures as requested, sometimes within a couple of minutes. I had researched your guitars and reputation for several weeks before deciding to purchase.I must add the feel and finish of the guitar is all you claim.This week I'm bringing the guitar into work so a fellow employee can check it out. He put down a deposit on a D-28 Martin. I can't wait to see his reaction.I really liked the items that came along with the guitar.The picture of you holding the guitar was a nice touch.I'm glad I found your site before buying a new guitar.The guitar was actually in tune, after being shipped to Detroit in January. Thank you and your staff very much.

01/29/2010 Denny, It has been a couple of years now since I purchased an EZ Play Zager. This guitar just continues to improve with age. The sound is fantastic, and gets better as time goes by. The tone has become darker and more mellow. I would compare it to guitars costing many hundreds more than the purchase price of this guitar. The guitar has no problems staying in tune, even when stored for several weeks. The color of the wood has also improved over the years, not quite a vintage color, but rich and beautiful. The guitar is the easiest to play acoustic I have ever picked up. Everytime I go to a music store and try out the latest, or expensive wall hangers, I am amazed that they will not hold a candle to your setup on the Zager Guitars. All of my guitar playing friends always want to try the EZ Play. You can buy more expensive, but you can't buy better! Thank You for an honest to goodness great insturment.

01/27/2010 Dear Zager Family, I have received my newest addition to my acoustical family. I wasn't sure if I was going to be blown away seeing as I own a beautiful 12 string Alverz and a Jumbo Washburn Cumberlin series. After playing all three, Your 80CE is far superior. The sound that comes out of this guitar is amazing. I can't believe that the tips of my fingers haven't fallen off yet, for I have been playing non stop. At band practice last night I had a hard time getting it back, everyone loves it. We actually ran over a hour and a half and just played acoustics. I just want to thank you again, it's wonderful. And thank you for the Polaroid, it's hanging on the wall. Just a side note, I still have to keep my day job :) bummer

01/27/2010 Denny I receive my ZAD50CE today. the sound that comes out of the guitar is superb and the appearance and the craftsmanship was like WOW!!!!!! and the price! well I was looking to spend upwards of $1500 but I got the Zager and a beautiful case and have change to spend on recording equipment and another amp. Once my friend saw the guitar at work he said "I want one!" so I called and put in a order for him and he keeps bugging on the phone asking me how is the guitar, even though he played it today at work for a few hours. he just cant wait to get his. we have played a few Martins, Ovations, Washburns and others and none of them was as good as the Zager. Thank you Mr. Zager for putting your personal touch on my Guitar.

01/23/2010 I did alot of research before making my buying decision. I spent hours on the internet and I visited six music stores. I e-mailed all my questions to the Zager company. I played Taylors, Martins, Larrivees, Parkwoods, Guilds, Epiphones, Blueridges both solid wood and laminated guitars priced from $495 to over $3,500 and then ordered the ZAD 80. I was fully prepared to send the ZAD 80 back if I did not like it. Needless to say I am keeping it. I proved to myself that just because a guitar is made out of solid wood does not automatically mean it will sound better. This guitar has the sound that I was looking for and the price was below my budget. The service and support is really what makes this whole buying experience well worth it. I was skeptical about Zager guitars and my advice is to try any and all the guitars you want, then order a Zager guitar and compare. You will be glad you did, I was. Looks better in person then your pictures and sounds as good as I was hoping it would.. and alot better than alot of others I have tried. Thank you,

01/20/2010 I purchased the OM 50CE a few weeks ago. I have been wanting to write a testimonial now for a while, but finding the right words is proving difficult. Where do you start? Great looks, Great sound? Great Service? Also, it's a hard guitar to put down and hard to stop thinking about it when you are at work. Everything you read in other testimonials is true. I have read where some guys owned several guitars including Martin, Gibson and so on. I say save yourself the hassle and expense and just get a Zager in the first place. You will also save time if you are just learning. The chords just come easier and because the sound is so right on, your ear can pick up the lessons quicker. I have also had 6 months of lessons, and will go back for another 6 months soon. Without Denny's lessons, I would still would be struggling to play a song that people could reconize. I had to try a Martin for a comparison. Today I got the chance to play a Martin. It was nice, but the sound was no better and it was harder for me to play because the neck was not as wide and the strings were close together. Dennis Jr is great to work with. I must have sent him a couple of dozen emails over the past year before I bought. He was always prompt, polite and with good information. My guitar and case came over the great plains, the Rocky Moutains, the Cascade Mountains to the wet Pacfic Northwest and it arrive well boxed and IN TUNE. Thanks for putting out a great product Denny. I think you have more than just one hit here. Who knows how many young artist out there today will have gotten their start with your instrument.

01/17/2010 Hello Denny & Denny, Jr. I would be a complete "schmuck" if I din't take a few minutes to thank you for great customer service. "Customer Service"...two words sadly lacking in today's society. I started playing again at the ripe old age of 55. Hadn't played since my early 20s. I've been back at it for about two years now. My how things have changed. So many different brands, mostly BAD! It seemed, in order to get a "playable" acoustic guitar, one had to spend $1,000 or more. WRONG! I had never ordered a guitar via the Internet before, and swore I never would. You got me. I don't know how many Emails I sent, only to get a VERY polite & timely response. (Minutes, not hours or days.) Being shipped in the winter did a few unkindly things to the guitar. Using your 'HELP' page, I changed the strings and did a slight 'tweak' on the truss rod; only about one-third of a turn. Ta-Da...back to perfect. What impresses me the most is the case. SOLID! Plus it includes a humidity & temperature gauge. I immediately ran out to buy a humidifier. One can not emphasize this point enough. Why spend hundreds...possibly thousands on a guitar, only to have humidity, or the lack of, ruin it. A humidifier only costs a few bucks. I used to play years ago in my teenage years, sometimes at college coffee houses. And, yes, I even played "In The Year 2525". That is how I stumbled across your web site...researching that song and the duo who performed it. Maybe you should thank Google! (LOL) Take care & God Bless.

01/17/2010 Thankyou very much for your good service and I love the guitar. My old guitar is a Tama that I bought about 37 years ago. The intonation on it is perfect and very easy to play. The Zager guitar is the first one I've played that is easier to play than my Tama and it has way more volume and a nicer sound. So this is the first time I've ever found a reason to replace my Tama. I'm a happy camper.

01/14/2010 Dennis, I received the ZAD50-OM and the ZAD15 today. I have spent a lot of time traveling around to local music shops and playing Taylors, Martins etc. Both of the Zager guitars are much nicer both in craftsmanship and playability than any of the others I have tried. The ZAD 15 is great. The baby Taylor and 3/4 Martin do not even come close. The 50-OM has a sweet tone. My wife had to drag me off of it to eat supper. Thanks,

01/11/2010  Dennis, I expected to be pleased with my new Zager acoustic/electric guitar, but I'm even MORE pleased than I expected to be! The EZ play is all you represent it to be and more, and it is a really beautiful instrument! I imagine other players I know will also want one--in fact a good friend is already considering one of the reduced price black ones that Denny has played on camera. I'm also very pleased about having access to your instruction videos. Let me also commend you on your customer service. You were so prompt and informative when answering my emails that I actually had ordered my guitar within a couple of hours of discovering that you existed! I spent many years in sales, and I the service I received from you online was vastly superior to what most companies provide when shopping in person. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work----and thank you Denny for your work in providing superior instruments at affordable prices!

01/07/2010 Mr. Zager … I purchased a ZAD50-CE a year ago (Jan ’07). After I received the instrument, I emailed you with a question regarding string height. I received a quick response from Denny Jr. which answered my questions and actually provided me with even more information than I had initially asked for. As I’m sure you hear everyday, you have a great product and great customer service.. After a year of some pretty hard practice/play, the ZAD50-CE continues to looks, sound, and play every bit as good as it did when it was new … actually, it’s probably better. One thing for certain, the ease of playing this guitar has been the a major factor in being able to complete 1-2 hour pretty consistent daily practice sessions. In any event, you can count me among your many satisfied customers. Shortly after I purchased the guitar, I also purchased your online instructions, and will be renewing my membership soon. Thanks for all you have done to help me!
