08/15/2006 Mike here in Amarillo with a report on how my new Zad 20 is treating me. We have been playing it at the Fire Station and everybody loves it. In fact, I don't get to play it much there because everyone else wants to try it instead of their own guitar. I have also been playing it at home and you guys are right, I can play it twice as long as my other guitar. Last Saturday I started playing it in the morning and played for a while and then went to do something else and then I would come back and play some more. This went on all day long. The kicker was when my first wife Barbara would be doing the house work and she made me lift up my feet so she could vacuum. I just lifted my feet and kept playing. Then when she was going to dust I had to move my book. After about 6 hours she came in there and put her hands on my leg and looked at me with those cold gray eyes of hers and said with clinched teeth, "You have been doing this all day long! Go find something else to do." I just looked up at her and I said, "Yes dear, I will go do something else." When ever she clinches her teeth to talk to me, I know that I should just give her a compliment of some type and get out of her way. So I told her how young she looked today but then I realized that she was not wearing a bra and they were hanging down pretty low and were pulling the wrinkles out of her face, so I just went in my office and watched a Zager guitar lesson on the computer. You can't imagine how pleased she is that I am one of your students. She hardly ever has to talk to me anymore.
But lately, I have been having terrible pain in my hip, left elbow, left shoulder, and both hands. I have discovered that the reason for my pain is all your fault. At first I thought it was a side effect of my high cholesterol medicine. Joint and muscle pain can be a serious side effect. I called my doctor and he said to get off the medicine for a couple of weeks to see if it got better. Well I can tell you that it did not get any better. It just got worse. Since then I have discovered that I have gotten a "guitar injury from using your product!" It is caused from sitting on my big leather couch, on one cheek, playing guitar, for several hours at a time which I could not do with my old guitar. I can't tell you how painful that was. Then I bought a music stand and now I sit on the couch like you are supposed to and the symptoms have almost gone away. Now I make it a point to sit up straight and practice every day for a couple of hours. My fingers love my new Zad-20. My wife complimented me the other night and said that I was doing very well on "In a godda da vida" even though I was trying to play "Unchained Melody." I thought it was a pretty shallow compliment. She only knows how to play the radio. I might be getting a Zad-80 with electronics, so I can play louder.
Thanks, |

08/12/2006 Denny and crew,
I've had my ZAD 20CE for a month now. I wanted to make sure I gave it thorough run before I wrote a testimonial. The bottom line is this: The ZAD 20CE is my favorite guitar out of the five guitars I own. It is much easier to play than any of my other guitars and the sound is fantastic. I am fingerstyle player, the additional string spacing has led to far fewer mistakes when striking individual strings, which in turn has boosted my confidence, which in turn lead to even fewer mistakes. The low action and light strings have all but eliminated hand fatigue, which is really nice when my kids decide to let me play for more than two-hours. The guitar has a very punchy sound; notes ring out clearly with a long sustain. The wood on this guitar resonates with sound, much like the Taylors I've played. The body of this guitar is alive with clean, clear sound. My friend has been teaching me Piedmont Blues which requires a lot of drop D tuning which this guitar does with no string buzz. Additionally, my wife has me learning Hawaiian Slack Key, which uses some really slacked tunings like F wahine, CFCGCE and I've had no problem with string buzz, not to mention the guitar sounds absolutely beautiful in the Hawaiian Tunings. The electronic tuner in the guitar is a very nice feature as I can quickly retune when I want to change tunings and the preamp works well with my Ultrasound acoustic amplifier. The guitar looks beautiful and the workmanship is very clean. I purchased one of your blemished guitars and we haven't found the blemish yet. There is no excess glue or other garbage on the inside. I purchased the Martin wood case and I am extremely satisfied with the case. Finally, the customer service is the best of any guitar dealer I have ever dealt with. I never waited more than twenty-four hours before I got a personal e-mail from Dennis, and I asked a lot of questions, so he had to write a lot. I'm probably on his Christmas Card list now. The impression I got in dealing with your staff is that they care about music, their product, and their customers. It was almost as if they wanted me to be satisfied and buy another guitar in the future. I will. As a customer and amateur musician, I trust Zager Guitar. This was a great deal and I am really really enjoying playing this guitar. Keep up the good work.
PS could you make a short-scale model in the near future? |

08/10/2006 Denny!
I received my ZAD-20 yesterday packed nicely in its Martin case and was thrilled. It arrived in perfect condition, and was mostly in tune. I love the tone. The sound is bright and edgy and yet deep. And the volume? Oh la la!
Because I'm used to my Goya classical, I couldn't tell the difference in ease of play, so I took it to a few of my children who have relatively good guitars and who could tell the difference. They said that yes, it was definitely easier to play! And they loved the sound!
The buying experence was simple and painless and as soon as I lose a few pounds, I'll be able to fit into that cool T-shirt!
Best Regards, |

08/10/2006 Hi Dennis Jr,
Got one of your Zad 20 OM's not long ago and I must say that it is everything you said it would be and more,can't say enough about the sound this
little jewel puts out. Plan to order the Zad 80
very soon.
Thanks: |
 |
08/10/2006 Thank you again for the great customer service leading up to the delivery of my new ZAD-20. As with just about everyone, I was a little weary about whether the guitar would live up to it's billing. It goes hand-in-hand with the nature of online purchases. I pulled the ZAD-20 from it's wrapping after you delivered it to my hotel in Lincoln, NE. At first look, the guitar was more visually stunning than I expected from the ZAD-20. I even checked the hole to make sure I was not given a ZAD-80. Appearance...check, but how easily does it play? After running a few scales and some bar chords up and down the neck, I could see this guitar was desgined for ease of use. The widened neck and lowered bridge work well in conjunction with the light strings. These things considered - I never thought it would produce the nice rich tone it did. You will find guitars that play easy for under $1000. You will find guitars that sound nice for under $1000. However, you will not find a guitar that looks as pretty, plays as easily or sounds as rich and bright as the ZAD-20 for anywhere near the price range. Trust me - I looked all over the place. Do yourself a favor and pick one up. It's even guaranteed that you won't regret your decision. I, on the other hand, won't need the guarantee. I'm keeping mine... |

08/06/2006 I completley love the black zad-20ce you guys sent me, its perfect and looks stunning in black. I get many compliments about it from other students. I really have now found a guitar that I feel fits me well and feels right and I now look forward to signing up for denny's online lessons and progessing much faster. Thank you very much Zager and I plan on doing much buisness with you in the future and have recommended your guitars to all my friends who play. Thank you very much. |

08/04/2006 Hey Zager Guitars
I have had my new 80ce now for a couple of weeks. First let me say you cannot have it back. It is Mine. It is a beautiful instrument and it has a great sound. Thank you very much. I was convinced to try your brand because I could not find any person in on the internet who said any thing bad about your guitars if they actually had one. I also have a Taylor that I love, but right now I am liking my Zager even more.
Thanks again for the great guitar. |

08/03/2006 Hello,
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the guitar lesson program. I've learned more in the last 2 months than I ever did any other way. Thanks for all your hard work. This program would be a great benefit for anyone. I highly recommend it to everyone. |

07/31/2006 Mr. Zager
What a GIFT !! To Be able to come up with that SOUND.
Ive Been wanting to Purchase a NEW GUITAR for a while
I wont need to LOOK any further. (ZAD-20CE)
Thanks, to my Friend Joe Richter, who introduce me to
Your Product. |

07/31/2006 Hi Dennis,
Played the guitar in a concert on Saturday night, and it performed as well or better than guitars twice the price. Thanks! |
 |
07/31/2006 Denny,Just had to say wow what an amazing instrument. I have always wanted to by myself a Martin , but I found your website by accident and read it almost nightly for 2 months . I am awe-struck by the tone and feel of playing my new ZAD-20. I like many others bought a cheap guitar early in life and lost precious time. I have several friends who say they will purchase one also. Thanks a million |
 |
07/28/2006 My wife bought my ZAD20 back in June. Since then I have looked at other guitars to see if any would equal it. To this date, no other guitar I have tried has been as easy to play. Most do not compare in sound quality or craftsmanship for less than 4 to 5 times the cost. To match this guitar, you will have to spend a lot more money and it still won't satisfy as well as a Zager. Denny, you have some great products, thanks. |

07/19/2006 Denny Jr:
You couldn't pry my Zager Guitar out of my cold dead hands, this thing is amazing!
I think you just really need to learn to play it! To be quite honest, I was a little disappointed because I guess I wasn't putting the time into learning how to play this bad boy, but once I did, a whole new world opened up, it seems like the more I play, the better the guitar sounds!!! I know that sounds dorky, but it's true. And it's funny, in my head, I think it sounds OKAY, until I go into the radio station that I work at and go into the production room, put the headphones on and record into our digital system, (Cool Edit Pro), when I hear it back, it sounds ten times better than what I thought, when I recorded it. Unfortunately, my voice sounds about the same, but after 6 months, I have NEVER been happier with ANY purchase like I have with this Zager! And my fingers aren’t aching!
Again most times when I play "In the Year 2525" on my radio show, I let people know I've got a Zager Guitar and refer to Denny as my personal guitar teacher. I don't know what you guys are doing, but please keep it up!

07/19/2006 Hello all at Zager Guitar! I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome guitar (ZAD20CELH). I have been looking for a quality left handed acoustic guitar in the $200 range for about 3 or 4 years now and was just never satisfied with any that I found (because lefties tend to be either really cheap or really expensive). And some how I stumbled across Zager guitars... I think on ebay. I was very skeptical at first but after I read like 20 or more different positive comments and considering the 100% guarrantee I figured I had to try. I just got my guitar yesterday and I love it. By far the best left handed guitar I have ever played (mind you I could never find a high end lefty at the stores but I have played a lot of right handed high end guitars). Anyways, the worship leader at my church attempted to play it left handed and said it sounded better than a lot of guitars in the $1000 range (he plays a Martin D-45). He was impressed and said that he wished it were right handed so he could play it more (and possibly recommend it to people who are looking for a really good guitar in the $200 range). I love the sound. It is bright and has a great full sound. I have listened to a lot of different guitars in while going to school (for audio recording and engineering )and I can easily tell the difference between a good and bad guitar, and this one is great! As a lefty I say thank you very much, you are a rare find! And last but not least to top off the whole experience, Zager Guitars has EXCELLENT customer service. There was a mix up with the payment and the problems was instantly fixed. Amazing service (just the service is worth it... but in addition I got a great guitar too). Anyways, thank you very much! |

07/16/2006 Hey guys,
I just received my ZAD-20CE. Turned on the electronic tuner, wound 'er up, hit a chord.
Got just one word for now...sweet.
Sounds as good as the 1974 vintage Martin D35 I had on loan, and plays "E-Z", as advertised.
Denny, you do good work. I love it! |
 |
07/13/2006 Denny,
Just wanted you to know that I have had my ZAD-80ce for a month now, and I am very happy with it. I have had a Martin D-18 for nine years, which has given much pleasure and still does. My Zager has lighter strings and thus a different sound, but I very much appreciate the difference in sound of the two guitars. I must admit that the Zager is much nicer looking. I am also pleased with the electronics. Also, your shipping was very prompt.
I am a happy customer.
Sincerely, |
 |
07/11/2006 Denny you are AWSOME and so are you guitars, I have three and the cost of all three is less than any of my other guitars. I play your Martin DR-41 and your Zager ZAD-80CE all the time and the rest are in the closet. Your lessons are awsome as well. I cant believe that your are not as fsmous as the stones. Your son is on the ball to, answers questions 365 days a year!
Thank you |
 |
07/11/2006 Mr Zager
I just want to say thans for the great deal on the ZAD 80 and all the help that came with it. As a new guitar player, I knew nothing of what tone or action had to do with my purchase. But with the help of Tony at Zager and the care and consideration of your staff, I now have a guitar that I will cherish and excel with for many years to come.
Thank You |
 |
07/11/2006 I received my New Zager Guitar, and it is beautiful and sounds wonderful. Now all I need to do is learn to play it. I am 58 years old and used to play a little 40 years ago. Now I am starting all over again. Thanks for a Great Guitar and the lessons. I guess the rest is up to me. I really like the onboard tuner. It really helps.
Thanks |
 |
07/07/2006 Dennis,
Thanks for the professional information. I feel better now. The guitar is beautiful, everything that your web site proclaims. The Zager company will be highly recomended. Thanks again for your product and professionalism. |

07/05/2006 3/26/06 OK, here we go Dennis. I took this guitar to a show last night. There were people from all over the Texas panhandle there. After the show we have a pickin'. I pulled my ZAD-20CE out. First guy that saw it thought it was a Taylor. The only reason I didn't play it during the show was because I didn't have a way to put a strap on it. One of the guys from Oklahoma has played at the Grand Old Opry and is in the top ten on the country charts in Europe. He got to play it first. He was very impressed. The next guy that played it I thought I was going to have to hack his hands off to get it back! This thing acoustically is amazing. This was mostly bluegrass stuff and that is not even what I bought it for. It held it's own with everything there. I then took it to church this morning and plugged it into the sound system. AIEEEEEEEE..!!! this thing is fantastic plugged in. After all this you'll only get it back if the electronics fail or the neck breaks off!! I let a kid in church who plays rock mess with it and he wanted to know where to get one. The kicker comes when you tell people how much you gave for this thing. This is one of the best deals of my life!! I would and will recommend Zager guitars to everyone I come in contact with. I don't care if your a beginner or a pro. YOU CAN'T BEAT THIS GUITAR AT THIS PRICE ANYWHERE!! And another thing I personally think is cool is the autograph. I was a teen in 1969 and was one of the fans of 2525 big time! I can't say enough good about this guitar so I’m givin' up. We'll just have to see how it hold up now to about 2 to 3 hours a day of playing on the average. From peoples homes to auditoriums to out doors, it'll see em' all. Only thing to do now is see how it hold up for the next 20 years!! Thanks more than you can know for a great guitar..........I'll be in touch.... |

07/04/2006 Good Gawd................. I woke up today with a UPS label stuck to my door, much to my suprize~! I went to the local UPS office and picked up one beautiful guitar, sounds great. I'm sorry I doubted you for a minute, you followed thru and it actually did come on Friday even after the confusion. I can't thank you enough.
I was on the way to the grocery store before I picked up the guitar, but I didn't want to leave the guitar in the truck so I came home to drop it off and leave you a note. I picked it up and ran a few cords and a ditty or two, but gotta get to the store before they get busy.
As soon as I can, I will follow up with a testimonial on your down home family run business, and what lengths you go thru to assure customer satisfaction. It's a cold rainy day here so it will be a good day to get familiar with my new addition to the family. Thanks Again........
Today was like Christmas for me : )
Great Job, |
 |
07/01/2006 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! |
 |
07/01/2006 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 20ce 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 20 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! |
 |
07/01/2006 Dennis,
I received my ZAD20CE 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 ZAD20CE. Even as a beginner, I could tell immediately that the ZAD20CE 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 ZAD20CE. 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, |
 |
06/28/2006 Zagers, love my Zad 20 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. |
