07/10/2012 I am proud to own and play this Zager guitar. I just recently got into playing guitar at the age of 54. The ZBB has a rich deep sound and I can actually feel the resonance through the back of the guitar into my body. The first day I played it- just last week- I could not only feel this music going into me I noticed how much easier it is to play over my fist guitar, a G series Takamine made of flame maple, it has a bright sound, with not nearly as much bass response. In the few weeks I have been playing guitar I have visited two of our local shops for a national guitar chain and have picked up no less that 40 different guitars to see just how well they sound and how easy they are to play. Priced from $69.00 to $2600+. I am no expert but to my ears my ZBB plays easier and sounds just as good if not better than guitars in the $1000.00+ range. I won't mention all the big and small name guitars I have played but really I think I would have to spend well over $1200.00 to get this quality sound and then there were only a couple (very expensive) that I could feel the resonance through the back of the guitar and into my body and that had the base response of my ZBB. I studied them hard to really get the feel for each one and try to figure out why they play and sound like they do. It is only the very expensive ones that project the bass and then carry the sound through the guitar like my Zager Big Baby does. As far as customer service goes I had a concern about my guitar and sent Dennis an email tonight late in the evening here in Ca and not only did I get one response back tonight but several with the invitation to keep asking questions if I needed to. And I got all this help even though I am the second owner of this guitar. I can see myself making music for many years to come with this guitar. A word about quality of workmanship, this is a well built guitar and the fit and finish is top notch. Yes I have plans to get a ZAD 20CE from you in the future to add to my list of guitars. And I would recommend you and your guitars to anyone in a heartbeat.

07/10/2012 Hi Dennis, Thank you for the quick reply. I purchased the guitar today. The quality of the workmanship, the appearance of the guitar, the sound and the playability are amazing. I own 30 guitars, and this one will definitely be one that gets plenty of use. I am bringing it to my gig tonight for the first time and look forward to plugging it in and playing it for the audience. I am so glad I found your line of guitars.

07/06/2012 My guitar arrived today which was 3 days after ordering it. I unpacked it and was very impressed with the appearance, and after tuning it was also very happy with the tone and playability. I don't know how anyone can go wrong buying a guitar from this company. Well worth the price of admission!

07/04/2012 Only wanted to say that after several months of owning the zad-80, I am still very pleased with the overall quality,sound and playability of this guitar. I showed it to a friend who has a Martin of twice the price and he was impressed. The sound of this guitar has enabled me to hear songs "better"; and more easily learn and play them. You do good work.

07/03/2012 I bought a Zager for the first time today at a pawn shop. I have played guitars my whole life (I am 45) and wanted to find something for my daughter who is 13 to bang around on, but I wanted it to be easy to play with no buzzing of the bass strings. After going to three different pawn shops and playing everything on the walls I happened on a Zager at the third. Had never heard of them. This instrument stood out from all that I had played. Couldn't believe the sound and the action was easy. Perfect! I bought the guitar and went home thinking I would get on the net and see what in the world I had just bought. I was stunned to learn this was the Zager of Zager and Evans. As a young boy I used to bug the disc jockeys in Memphis on FM 104 to play 2525. I know they got tired of me. It is still one of my favorite songs from my childhood. I will be giving this guitar to my daughter for Christmas with a great deal of pride.

06/30/2012 I received my guitar yesterday and I am so pleased! It is beautiful beyond words and plays like a dream. It is definitely a finesse player's guitar. I finger pick primarily so, it is perfect for me. Even the smaller size has plenty of volume for what I want to do. I have not amplified it yet but, assume it will be awesome. As I told you before, I have played for 44 years and have played many, many acoustics. This out looks and out plays everything under $2000.00. I'm glad I didn't take a refund and kept faith in your company.

06/30/2012 Just a quick note to let you know that I went and picked up my guitar at the depot. I was anxious to get home to open up the box. But, when I did, my heart almost skipped a beat... I never saw a more gorgeous instrument ever before. Even though I'm only a novice in guitar playing, I found myself at ease with the instrument and felt proud to own such a quality guitar. Like I said, I don't know much about guitars but I do know this, I felt something when I picked up this guitar from the case it came in. I can't describe the feeling. just to put my hand on the neck, I knew this was something out of the ordinary and it almost felt like holding and old friend you haven't seen in a long while. I felt the craftmanship deep within and I know some artists always leave something behind when they work on a piece of their art. But with this guitar, I felt MR. Zager left his undenialble mark unto this one... I never felt so proud to own such an exquisite guitar and I know I will have some jealous friends when they get to see what I just got. And I must say it is everything you said it was and more.

06/30/2012 The Zad 80 OMCE arrived yesterday. I let it sit and get used to the house temperature and humidity until today. All I can say at this point is Wow! It is everything you said it would be and more than meets my expectations. I have been playing for over fifty years and have played just about every brand of acoustic there is and own three great ones, a J-45 Gibson made about 1937, another Gibson an L-00 Blues King made about the same time and a 1958 Martin 00-18, all wonderful instruments. However my arthritus has gotten worse and I was searching for a guitar that was not only easier to play but would also approximate the tonal quality of the fine acoustic instruments that I own AND also allow me to play electronically. I did not have much hope of finding such an instrument and have been looking and trying out acoustic electrics for years. Thanks to you I have found the instrument I have been looking for. It is easy on the fingers and wrist, has a full,smooth and very pleasing voice both acoustically and electronically and the on board tuner and adjustments are a real plus. In addition it is a very attractive instrument and a welcome addition to my collection.

06/27/2012 Mr. Zager I have received my ZAD 20 this guitar is amazing I have played a lot of guitars But none match the zager . It arrived in perfect condition. The sound is beautiful. When I plug it up to my amp this guitar will blow you away. I think I will set my Ibanez out to the trash it is just too hard to play. The ZAD 20 is as easy to play as my Fender Stratocaster.

06/24/2012 I have thought about learning to play guitar several times since my brother began playing over 30 years ago. Every time I picked one up and attempted to play a few chords my fingers felt like they were “being eaten by the strings” then I remembered why I didn’t want to learn all over again. About a month ago I got the itch to learn again. Instead of going to a music store this time, I went online. I learned that there were substantial differences in playability between guitars. Reading blogs and comments from guitarists I attempted to educate my self about what I call “user friendly” guitars.” I found that the “higher end instruments” were probably what I was looking for but how could I justify the price of a “good guitar” without really knowing if I was going to like playing it? Continuing my search I came across Zager EZ-Play Guitars. The name immediately had my interest. The website testimonials impressed me. I sent a message to your “Chat Live” link on the Zager website. I wasn’t really expecting an answer for a couple days because it was the weekend. I couldn’t believe the responsiveness to my e-mails. I was blown away with the personal service that was extended to me. All of my questions were answered promptly and in detail….Thank you!!!! The price tag for the Zager was a bit more than I had planned on spending in the beginning. In trying to make a decision I thought about most of the guitar players I knew. Most of them have at least a half a dozen guitars or more lying around. I thought “what if I didn’t like to play the guitar at all?” Being cheap I looked online for a used one. The people selling used ones were hard to find and were usually die hard Zager fans. Most were selling because they had bought another one to change to a different model of Zager for one reason or another. Also, the resale prices were high enough that it seemed to be in my best interest to purchase a new one. That says a lot. Now I wasn’t so worried about losing money if I didn’t like playing. The guarantee offered by the company seemed great too. The Zager guitar seemed to be the answer. I chose the Zager ZAD-80 CE because I wanted to buy “one guitar” not “one at a time.” Remember, I’m cheap and buying one right guitar is far less expensive than purchasing a half a dozen while eventually working up to “the right one.” Making the right decision in purchasing a Zager has definitely been validated. It’s everything you say it is and more! I’m enjoying learning to play. I love the onboard tuner and my practice time is much longer than I ever believed it could be. The parts of the guitar have proved to be first rate. The finish is awesome. It even smells good! I love the Zager case. My neighbor, who is really a quite good guitarist and who had recently purchased a much more expensive guitar, came over and tried out my Zager. He was impressed by its ease of playing. He picked it up and looked down the neck commenting “How do they get the strings so low without buzzing?” After playing for a while he said: “How can I explain buying another guitar to my wife?” He is one of those people with several. It made me smile to think of how he was impressed with “my first guitar” and it made me feel good to know that I had made the right decision. In conclusion, I don’t think I could have made a better choice. The price is worth every penny. I know now that I could have spent a lot more money and have gotten a lot less. It’s better than I will ever be at playing it. I’m completely satisfied with every aspect of my purchase and my new Zager guitar.

06/22/2012 Just received my new ZAG 80CE and its as beautiful looking as it is sounding. It makes my old guitar seem like a stick with strings. The service you all provide is absolutely excellent. The product is a value. The guys I jam with are totally impressed and jealous of this guitar. I recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to discover an easy acoustic experience. Thanks for the great service and a totally bitchin' guitar.

06/21/2012 My decision to purchase this guitar was based solely on the testimonials on Zager.com for these people actually purchased Zager guitars or Denny would not allow their testimonial to appear. It seems that anyone can post on other websites, even someone posing as an imposter purchaser of the Zager guitar. I feel that trusting a company is a great part of the purchase. Also, this company does have excellent customer service. The guitar is everything that other people have said in their testimonials, great looking, wonderful tone and easy to play. Frets nice and smooth, strings spaced evenly and what a great wax job. The help section that comes in video form on the Zager web sight when you purchase a guitar is wonderful as well. Where can you go and purchase a guitar and have life time help in video form and get step by step instructions in restringing a guitar and other very useful information pertaining to guitars.

06/20/2012 Just received my new ZAD 20 a couple days ago. It truly is everything you say and MORE, The fit and finish is unbelievable and the sound is wonderful. I was getting ready to spend more than twice what I paid for your guitar for another brand, I'm sure glad I didn't. Thank you for being one of the few companies left that truly takes pride in their products and service. I certainly will recommend your company to everyone. Thanks again.

06/18/2012 Thank you for your generosity and I absolutely love my guitar. I tell everyone where I got it and what is really cool, is that most of the people that I play with have $700 -$1,000.00 guitars and some even more expensive. Compared to my Zager they sound like cheap toys. You have an awesome product and I've really enjoyed being a customer.

06/18/2012 I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying my new black ZAD-20CE. I've been playing it constantly since I received it about two weeks ago, and I love it. It looks and sounds beautiful, and it is definitely easier to play than my Ibanez dreadnought, which was the only acoustic guitar I'd ever owned previously. There were songs that I would try to play on my Ibanez that just left my left hand and arm aching from trying to play the requisite chords, and now I can play the same songs on my Zager without any discomfort at all. I also really appreciate having an integrated tuner in my new guitar - that in itself is a godsend. I also appreciate all the support info and videos on your site. It's clear that you want to give your customers a great experience that will last well beyond the initial sale. I haven't signed up for the free lesson yet, but I expect to look into this soon. In the meantime, keep up the great work.

06/15/2012 Received my ZAD 20CE last night........after unpacking it, I am not sure if I am suppose to play it or put it in a display case. It is beautiful. As I mentioned before ordering it, I have been learning to play on a Fender classical only because my friends and brother told me that was the easiest to start with. Well, believe me when I tell you, the ZAD is easier to play than my classical. I only wish I had started with it in the beginning. Thank you so much for a super fine instrument.

06/12/2012 Well....what can I say? I eagerly awaited the arrival of my new Zager. I had very high hopes after doing much research and with emailing with Dennis Jr. It was a big step for me because I had to sell my Taylor in order to get this one. I had gone a few days without playing so my anticipation was even greater. All I can say is, it was worth the wait! I tracked it thru the website and when I saw it had been delivered, I actually left work to go home and play it. Was it everything that I had hoped for and then some? Definitely. As I unpacked it, I was met with the sight of its case that was a precision fit. When I opened her up, what a stunning piece of art looked back at me. The sunburst design was one of the most beautiful things I had seen and to top it all off, mingled into the strings was a Polaroid of Dennis playing MY guitar before it got packed....AWESOME. The sound that come out of the guitar made it sound as if I had been playing long past my experience level and it lived up to its billing as EZ play. Needless to say I played on for a couple hours,a and I never thought about it once that Ihad been playing for so long. WHY? Because I had no fatigue in my hand! Thank you so much Dennis, this is my lifetime guitar,a and you will be sure to get referrals from me

06/10/2012 Be VERY HAPPY to tell people the truth! In this day and age, internet shopping etc....It is very hard to know what is right and wrong. And it is easy to hide behind a computer and write bad things about someone or someone's product. I am 48. Always wanted to play the guitar. This guitar has forwarded my progress tremously. I just took back a $1200.00 Breedlove acoustic guitar I bought from Guitar Center because it was hard to play. The sounds on my new Zager are better also!

06/10/2012 Finally there is someone that does what they say. I love the natural beauty of the woods and the feel of the neck. most of all I love the ease with which it frets. After unpacking I tuned up(impressed with the built in) up and played for about two hours with no soreness of fingertips and just sat laughing with enjoyment. THANK YOU....

06/06/2012 Just got my ZAD 20 CE and I wast just barely able to put it down long enough to write this email...Needless to say, that unlike most times when purchasing music gear online, I was NOT disappointed!!!! Love It, Love It, Love it. I have been playing for 24 years, have owned Gibson, Taylor, Tacoma, and Washburns, and this guitar takes the prize. All the technical stuff aside, it sounds incredible!!, and plays as easy as my ES-335.

06/04/2012 I've had my Zad 20ce for about three months now and I just got to tell you I love this guitar. It really is the easiest playing guitar that I've ever played and the tone is just wonderful. You've made a believer out of me. I have a Sigma that I had set up and lowered since the mid 80's and I always liked that guitar but I wanted to step up to a better guitar. It looked like I was going to have pay three or four times the price to be happy till I found your website. I'm happy!

06/03/2012 just thought I'd drop a line to let you know how astonished I was at the superb tone and quality of the 80-CE guitar I just received. I have played guitar (electric and acoustic) for about 20 years now, and have owned nearly 20 vintage and new guitars. The sound and build of this guitar - cedar top (wise choice), rosewood back and sides, abalone trim, binding - are all top quality. It holds up to my Gibson J-200 in tone, and is of comparable quality to the high end Martins I have played (and nearly bought - luckily I found you first). The 80CE is easily one of the best playing acoustics I have touched. My wife was not happy I had bought "yet another" acoustic since I didn't really need one, until she heard the Zager; then she understood.

05/31/2012 Just felt like dropping you a line to let you know I just couldn't possibly be more pleased with my purchase! I just like----no, LOVE---this guitar more and more. I had a buddy years ago that I played with some that had a Martin D-35 that he had bought new in 1967-----Brazilian rosewood------that just sounded fantastic and I swear it had nothing on this guitar sound-wise. Needless to say it's playability wasn't anything close to EZ, if you know what I mean. I think he paid about $400 to $200 for it back then, and if you could find one like it today, I would guess it would price at around $2200 to $3200 and I seriously wouldn't trade this guitar for one if I could. You mentioned that this guitar's sound would only improve with time as the wood cured. I had never considered that, but if that's true--------WOW!

05/31/2012 Thank you so much for taking the time to respond so quickly to my email. I really appreciate your time and your customer service start to finish has been fantastic! I also wanted to let you know that your website has been so easy to use and navigate through. I especially enjoyed Denny's help video's- they were extremely helpful, even for someone who has played the guitar for a long time. I learned several good tips and he answered several of my questions in his videos.

05/31/2012 I just received my new Zager ZAD-20CE OM Acoustic/Electric today and I must say I was very impressed. I had read and listened to testimonials on Zager web site singing the praises of Zager guitars, but I had also read a lot of negative comments posted various places on the web. After spending a little time with my new guitar it is strikingly obvious that the negative comments were from people who had either never touched a Zager guitar, from people who had no idea what they were talking about, or from people with some sort of axe to grind -- perhaps disgruntled dealers selling other makes of guitars that do not match up in looks, tone or value. My guitar was NOT what was promised... it was much more. The finish was better than I believed it would be, the sound was better than the online demos, and the service was fantastic.

05/28/2012 I received my ZAD-20CE two days ago, and I have hardly put it down since it arrived. What a beautiful guitar! And, wow, does it play nice. It is so much easier to play than my previous guitars, and my hands and fingers are so relaxed when I play. The sound is terrific. I can play softly, and the sound just fills the room. It is certainly eveything you claimed it to be. I was very skeptical about buying a guitar online without being able to play it first, but I am so glad that I did. I am really glad that I stumbled upon your website. Once again, thanks a lot.

05/23/2012 Denny & Denny, Jr. - Thanks for the great ZAD-20CE OM guitar and outstanding customer service I received. I was hesitant to order a guitar that I had never held or even seen in person, however I'm very glad that I did. My guitar arrived in perfect condition 48 hours after I ordered and I was in no way disappointed. The guitar is so easy to play there is no doubt it makes me a better player. The service made me a satisfied customer. Thanks again!
