12/06/2005 I live outside of Nashville where there are probably more guitar stores than any other place in the country and believe me I have probably played more high end guitars than most people even dream about.If I picked this guitar up and it had no mfg name on it I would expect to pay 5 times the price I paid, at least.Last week I played a high end guitar that was well written up in a guitar mag.it was not worth the 6.000 dollar price tag,but I guess you
don't give bad write-ups to full page advertises.You can't beat the Zager for the price,it's great,and the look of it is just out of site.
Thanks and Regards

12/06/2005 Hey Dennis,
A friend recently came over with his 1990 Martin D-18.
To be honest, the guitars were about the same as far as playability,
though the cutaway on the Zager opens up a lot more of the fretboard.
But the sound -- the Zager blew the Martin away. I mean it wasn't even
close. I actually felt bad -- for a little while anyway.
Still playing like mad -- have actually developed tendonitis in my
elbow from so much playing. Maybe your Dad could file down some of the
bones in my arm to make the tendons slide easier. No, forget that ...
Best

12/04/2005 Very impressive guitar. Tremendous tone & volume. Setup is everything you advertised. I liked the setup on my Takimine, but yours is superior plus the tone is much fuller. I really dig the on-board tuner, & it is accurate! Shipment time was three days, & it arrived in pristine condition. Excellent bonus w/ the extra set of strings & T-shirt.
Thanks again, |

12/04/2005 First of all, thanks for putting together a great guitar at an affordable price.

11/30/2005 Thank you. The guitar is wonderful. Your service is outstanding. I
can't say enough good things to people about your service and the
ZAD50.
Sincerely, |

11/28/2005 It has been a few months since receiving my ZAD 80-OM after a bit of uncertainty deciding between the electric acoustic or OM model. Without a doubt, I am a believer in following instinct & intuition and am 100% pleased with the OM in every way. The smaller size is so comfortable but yet, not too small that the sound /volume is that much different. Even my teenage guitar playing son loves the OM size. Also, the guitar sounds 'sweeter' now than 2months ago. I am so proud to own it & look forward to showing-off a bit for my dialysis patients & co-workers. I keep a Pledge duster cloth in the case and it works beautifully removing fingerprints without dampening. Lastly, your on-line lessons are unlike any other...so well done and so worth it. Thank you in every way. |

11/24/2005 I wanted to let you know that my ZAD-50 arrived today in great shape. It was well packed--thanks a bunch.
From the little I have played it, I'm very pleased.
I look forward to many years of use with this quality instrument.
Thanks again, |

11/24/2005 Morning Dennis:
I came in early to work to get my playing time in. My Gibson will have to be my "back up" instrument now.....never thought I'd say that.
I truly want to thank you again for your help and "outstanding" service here. I own a small business, maybe I mentioned that at one point but regardless, your Company has all the right stuff going, you can always use me for a reference anytime. If there's anything else I can do, you have my 100% support.
Have a great day ! |

11/24/2005 I have had the ZAD50 guitar for a couple of months now and finally getting around to let you know what I think of it. First, I have to go back to a hot Nebraska summer in 1969 when "2525" was a big hit and we thought it was so cool that local band was on the charts. But the song to me, was significant because as a young teen I was part of the growing "earth movement", and I later became an Environmental Scientist. So back to the guitar... I've mastered several instruments in my life but not the guitar and was doing some research on guitars and came across the Zagers. I became intrigued from what I read and ordered one - how can you lose with their guarantee? I showed the guitar to several of my guitar playing buddies (one is a professional player) and they loved it right away. They said the "set up" was very well done and couldnt believe that there was no string buzz. We did a lot of comparisons with a total of seven of their guitars ranging in price from $150 up to $1,100. In the end, they felt it was right there with the $1,100 guitar in all aspects. The sound, construction, and finish on my Zager far exceeds what you would expect at this price. The only negative comment they had was that it might be a problem to switch to larger strings, which they said I would want to do eventually for more volume. My question was, if I get the same full volume with these light strings as what the other guitars got with heavier strings, then why would I want to switch in the first place? They didnt have much of a reply. I guess in most ways I'm probably not qualified to offer an opinion on the guitar, but I do trust the opinions of people I've known for many years, and I'm sure I'll be happy with this Zager for many years to come. I'm perhaps a little old to have dreams of becoming a professional guitar player, but I sure do enjoy p racticing and learning on this Zager and though I havent been in Nebraska in decades, when I"m sitting on the front porch practicing, I can almost smell the sweet corn growing and feel the hot summer of 1969. Thanks for the memories Denny, and thanks for a great guitar! |

11/21/2005 Dear Zagar Guitar.
I love my new guitar so much! The sound is perfect and clear, and it is so easy to play. In fact, I love both of them... since having one just wasn't enough.
If you can stand how slow this video is to download, you can see my playing my new guitar at a Dances of Universal Peace Retreat we just had in Lava Hot Springs, Idaho.

11/18/2005 Simply put, these guitars are OUTSTANDING!! Not only can I attest to the quality, sound and playability of these guitars, but I can also attest to the outstanding customer and warranty service! I bought my first Zager guitar in February of this year. When I received the guitar I was totally blown away by both the sound and playability of this guitar and comparing it to my Martin, Rickenbacher and Ibanez guitars it shines above all. Every time I got together with my friends and family to jam they were all grabbing my Zager which left me using their guitars. ;-( I thought I'd solve that by buying another one but there were no more available on Denny's website. I then had reason to call Denny regarding his lifetime warranty service because the transducer pickup was somewhat weak on the high E string. It sure was no problem for him to email a UPS label to me to have the guitar picked up right away, but the thought of being without it even for a short period of time was distressing. While on the phone I inquired about the availability of this model and Tony told me they did, in fact, have one guitar left in that model. Needless to say I ordered it that day, waited two days to send my guitar back and the next day I received the new one. It is every bit as awesome as the first and I only had to do without it for a day! Denny repaired my first guitar the day he received it and also sent it back to me that same day. I received it in perfect order and now that I have two guitars, I wish I had four arms and hands! :-) THANK YOU DENNY, DENNY JR, TONY and the rest of your TERRIFIC TEAM at ZAGER GUITARS!!! |

11/16/2005 Hi Dennis Jr. Just to let you know I bought a capo for my ZAD50CE. Oh Wow, what a beautiful sound. I have never had an acoustic sound and play this nice. I can't thank ya'll enough for everything. Keep up the great work. |
 |
11/15/2005 After playing a Zager that my friend CA Rosenberger purchased ,I placed my order for a ZAD 50CE. The ease of play and sound quality are superb. I would highly reccomend this to anyone . After showing this guitar to frinds who play, they are amazed by the sound quality and craftmanship. I have not seen another guitar anywhere nere this price that can compare. |

11/14/2005 Hello:
I have recieved the guitar which I ordered. All was as promised.
I have found your company to be very professional, excelling in customer service, providing an excellent product and at a great price. I must say that most of the time any one of these three criteria excludes the others.
I will never be a professional musician, but do enjoy playing the guitar. I am a surgeon for large animals such as horses and cattle (Many are rodeo animals). My career requires dexterity of the fingers, but has also lead to quite a few fractures of my fingers and hands. Playing the guitar is therapeutic for me, both mentally and physically. My playing has been somewhat "stuck in a rut" for several years. In the last few days since I have recieved your guitar I have retried some songs which I had previously given up on, with great success.
I recieved your guitar at the veterinary clinic where I work, and several of my clients, or friends have picked it up and tried it out. Almost every one of them says that they intend on ordering one.
Please feel free to add my name to your list of references, or to utilize my comments in any way you see fit. I am extremely pleased with the guitar purchase, and wish I had done this sooner. |

11/12/2005 You are amazing, sometime when I wake up in the middle of the night I am going to email you to see how long it takes for you to reply. I have emailed you on sundays and holidays and sure enough, a reply follows shortly. I love the guitars and the service and responsiveness is unparalleled. I only wish you would branch out into used cars! You and your dad are awsome, and you both are blessed to have each other. |

11/12/2005 Denny;
Just received my new ZAD-50 and I love it. It came in the new case I ordered with it and it is a beautiful instrument and playability is fantastic. Also, Great sound and it is a nice addition to the two Martins I own. I wanted something a tad brighter and this guitar fits the bill. Reminds me of an 810 taylor I used to have.
I look forward to using it at gigs (The Rustyrock Band) in the Ft. Lauderdale area.
Thanks for the follow up and responses to my early questions.
Best Regards

11/09/2005 I don't know if you realize how much this guitar means to me. I am a very hardworking Graphic Artist at a large Midwestern newspaper. I have a broken kneck, arms broke in two places and all the bones in the back of my hands crushed in a horse training accident 20+ years ago. I spent many years incapacitated and on some very hard drugs for pain. I also became a drug and alcohol addict over the years, and am now in recovery twelve years.
Once the surgery to help correct my situation became available, I was first in line. I regained the use of my upper body and went back to school and became productive again. But I always have pain. Very bad pain. I don't take anything for pain other than advils. My job at a computer all day doesn't help. I often wear hand braces.
They hate it at work that I play the guitar. They think it makes my condition worse and robs them of my proctivity, I've actually had comments such as, "I see you have your hand braces on, you weren't playing the guitar again were you?". I wasn't aware that people who have a disability weren't allowed to do anything extra, even if it is thier own pain. Music made my recovery possible. Music stops all pain, physical & mental.
I have been playing your guitar since Friday. I haven't stopped all weekend, other than 6 hours of sleep, and an hour or two showing it off to neighbors. I HAVE NO PAIN. Your guitar is the closest to being ergonomic as a guitar can be.
Please let your Father know that if he made it possible for one crippled person to play the guitar again, he has the angels on his side, and I will thank the creator everyday for his talents and hope that he realizes what a contribution he has made. My life would be nothing but pain & sorrow without music. He has given it back to me. Words cannot express my happiness!
I truly am selling off all my 2 Fenders & 1 Martin and I'm going to buy the ZAD-80CE and the smaller travel version too. Why should I ever play in pain again? It would be stupid of me to even touch another guitar and hurt myself. It's a no-brainer.
Also, my two Sons I taught to play are looking at your guitar too. The aren't handicapped, but they know good sound when they hear it. You have sold our entire family. We believe in your guitar and are going to back it up with the bucks. |
 |
11/06/2005 First off I would like to say this site is awesome. It has helped me alot, although I still have a lot of work to do on my part, but I have found out what most of my problems were through your teachings. Thank You!
I will be looking forward to new songs and hopefully be able to play them all oneday.
Again Thank You. |

11/04/2005 I came home from work last night at 11:00 pm last night, I had left a note for the UPS gal to leave my package in the garage. I unwrapped your guitar and began to play. At about 2:00 am I knocked off, but was back at it by 5:30 am, (my usual rising time). I have played all day. I never thought a guitar would bring anything but tears of pain, since my neck is broken and rebuilt. Pain is inevitable, but my love of playing kept me sawing away despite it.
Now I have tears of joy, but not just because I can play all day without pain, (which is in itself a miracle), but you have given me the sound I have sought since I sat at my Fathers knee over 45 years ago. He played a Sears Silvertone, with bowed front and back with fiddle F's. It had a RESOUNDING ring and had a presence I have never heard since. Until I played you guitar. I have no plans to ever play any other guitar, and would not part with mine for anything.
I shopped around before buying. I test played Fenders, Gibsons, Sigmas, and even a $2,500 Martin. I want this guitar. I want to play this guitar. Everthing else feels like a log.
One thing else, even though your guitar seems to be cut exactly like other auditorium guitars, it fits more comfortably on my lap and doesn't cut my arm & armpit like my other guitar. It fits better. Perhaps better balanced? I find I no longer play "downhill". It's as comfortable in the recliner as on the Porch.
I had completely forgot about plugging it in at first, I was happy with just the unplugged sound. Then I remembered and plugged it into my tube amp and was blown away. This guitar stands alone in it's class as an accoustic, but you can even plug it in and get more than I ever dreamed of for the money.
Thank you Mr. Zager & Son, this is the finest guitar I have ever heard or played. Maybe that's not saying much, I'm just an old hippie gal living way back in the woods of Minnesota, but it's all I need to know. If you boys ever are in the Northwoods, stop by, I owe you a dinner. |

11/04/2005 Denny, I just received the ZAD50CE and hardshell case. This is a beautiful guitar. It tunes up perfectly. The intonation is great, the distance between the strings solves a big problem I have had with other acoustics. The guitar sounds crisp and clean. The presence is awsome. The guitar seems to stay in tune without have to fiddle with it after playing a few songs. The built in tuner is a big plus also. I hooked it up to my amp and it is the same great sound ,amplified. Thank you for the Zager T-shirt and the extra set of strings. The hardshell case was a bargain also. I appreciate it. This was a great investment and I look forward to doing some online lessons with you. I want to just say I wish the best in the future for you and your company. Dennis JR. you are the best communicator I have ever dealt with online. Always quick responses. Most of all you are always pleasant. May God bless you and your company in the future. Kim
p.s. I hope to see you in the year 2525 LOL |

11/04/2005 I received my ZAD 50 acoutic / electric two days ago. I have been playing every chance I get just to make sure this guitar is as wonderful as everyone claimed. Well, I'm proud and pleased to say that this guitar is wonderful. Tone and playability are second to none in my opinion. I have been playing a DY 46 Alverez for 23 years now and have always considered it an easy to play,great sounding guitar. But the ZAD 50 just blew me away. Thanks for producing such a wonderful instrument at an affordable price. Sincerely, |
 |
10/31/2005 Just to let you know, I got your guitar and it is just beautiful. Now if my
husband can just learn to play it, we will be set for beautiful music.
Thank you |
 |
10/29/2005 HI,
I just started your online lessons...and love them!! I am going to be purchasing one of your guitars very soon.
Thanks |
 |
10/28/2005 Good job! I'm extremely satisfied with your work, as I knew I would be. I appreciate the picks! Thanks for being my hero and making the best guitars ever! |
 |
10/25/2005 Denny,
Just a note to say I received my ZAD-50CE as promised. It's absolutely beautiful and sounds great. Everything you say on your website about the guitar is accurate. I'm very pleased with my choice and will recommend your guitars to others.
Thanks, |
 |
10/25/2005 Dennis: received my guitar yesterday. it's beautiful and sounds great!
Thanks!! |
 |
10/25/2005 Dennis, Denny,
Just wanted to send you a follow-up note. I've been playing the 50CE for a couple of weeks now. It's got to be the finest guitar I've had the joy to play. I've only owned about a dozen guitars, steel string and nylon, and have player the guitars of others, and this one is the best sounding and easiest to play. I haven't touched my classical guitar since I picked up the Zager. I can finger pick and flat pick with ease. The extra spacing between the strings is great.
I love the finish, although I'd prefer the spruce top to be a little darker
in color (This in not a complaint, purely asthetics, and I know it will
darken with age). The tuning is smooth.
I really can't find fault with any aspect of this instrument.
You guys do good work. Thanks for sharing it.
|
 |
10/22/2005 I am impressed how quickly you got me a replacement for the guitar
that was damaged in shipment. My new ZAD-50 sounds fantastic. I even
prefer the sound over the ZAD-50CE that I purchased from you a year
ago. Thank you once again for an outstanding guitar and excellent
service. |
 |
10/19/2005 I bought one of your Guitars about a month ago. This is the easiest guitar I have ever played.Before this I was trying to play an old Goya, that I found at a ysrd sale. Thanks for a great guitar, I will be signing up for your video course! |
