03/31/2003 Denny,This afternon I visited by brother who also playsguitar, and he brought out is Taylor. We swapped for abit and then returned to our respective axes. It was abrief time that we played. The biggest differencebetween the two was the bottom end. The Taylor had afuller sound because it had more bottom end. However,the ZAD80 held it's own. I've only had it for a fewdays, and I will say the ZAD80 has quality tone. Itreminds me of how beautiful a guitar sounds. I play anacoustic Martin Sigma when I feel the inspiration.Otherwise, I mainly play electric. I own a MartinHD28 which I can't play because the way it's set up.That breaks my heart. Having heard good quality tonesfrom an acoustic that I can actually play isinspiring me to play. I want to expand my knowledge ofthe guitar and learn more skills. I value what ZagerGuitar offers - excellent product, competitivelypriced, highest standard of customer service, 100%guarantee, useful and accessible information from anaccomplished professional, and lessons to boot. I amlooking forward to becoming one of the Zager Guitaron-line community and doing more business in thefuture.I'll be in touch again after I spend more time withthe guitar.Regards,

03/30/2003 I have had my zager guitar almost 2 weeks now. I am practicing longer without the sore fingers. I'm not overlaping strings with my short and fatter fingers. I am enjoying playing again. Everything I've read about Zager guitars is true. This is a follow up from when I recieved the guitar and was amazed at how beautiful it was out of the box.I jammed some with my brother in law who has played for 30 years and does a few gigs in the area, he loves it and will probably end up with one. Thanks again for answering all my questions and helping the accoustic guitar player play better.Sincerely,

03/28/2003 I have had my Zager guitar for a week now. I am very happy with it. It is one of the easiest playing guitars that I have ever tried. Thank you for producing a great guitar for a reasonable price. It is also a pleasure to buy from a family owned business. It is great to call your business and talk to a real person without having to go through a bunch of recorded messages. I look forward to playing this guitar for many years. Thank you for the extra gifts you sent with the guitar.

03/28/2003 Received the guitar, found it to be as advertised. Good feel, good sound etc. etc.Three weeks later or so playing every day, as a born again beginner I found the Zager much better than my Fender for ease of playing.I think I have been improving much faster than I had been with the Fender.Very good guitar, would recommend to anyone.Thank you,

03/20/2003 Hi Dennis,Thanks for posting "Annie's Song". I'll get cracking on it today! I notice that it is a stage two. Wow. I listened to it on the demo section and it sounds so nice. One of the great things about your system is that songs don't have to be complicated to sound wonderful.I noticed that your Dad plays "Hotel California" on the demo section now. It just amazes me how he can take a song that the Eagles used a bunch of guitars to play and can make it sound so great on just one guitar! I had my youngest son give it a listen and he was spellbound. He's into electric guitar and distortion pedals and isn't interested in the Zager system so it was nice to see him sit there in awe for once. Your Dad is the master!Thanks again.

03/20/2003 Hi Denny,I bought one of your guitars about two months ago, and now I'm taking your online lessons. Slow progress, but I'm really thrilled each time I realize that I've progressed.We live in Austin, Texas, and had friends here this past weekend from Colorado Springs. Long story short, my friend Bill has been playing for about three years. When he was here, I had him try my Zager guitar--he couldn't believe how much easier it was to play than the one he has. Bill called my yesterday once he was back in Colorado, thanked me for showing off my guitar to him, and said he ordered one from you yesterday. You must love stories like this! There's nothing better than word of mouth advertising.I also love to buy direct from a family-run business, where the owners benefit from my patronage. Best wishes, and I'll keep up with the habits I'm learning from your videos.

03/16/2003  Dear Denny, I purchased one of your guitars a few weeks back. I like it! I'm new to the whole guitar thing but I have messed around with a bunch of guitars in stores and none of them (in my price range) felt "right". I got my Zager and I knew the "right" one had arrived. I took it over to a friend who is a very accomplished guitarist and he told me that if I went to a local or national chain guitar store and picked up the most expensive acoustic guitar in the store, it would feel no better than my Zager. As you can imagine that made me feel pretty good about my purchase! He was amazed at the quality of instrument and set up for the price. Thank you.

03/14/2003 Dear Zager Guitar, I'm an extremely proud owner of one of your guitars ( a Zager modified Martin DM-1 ) and have not regretted a single second purchasing it about 2 years ago. I have reccommended your guitars to several of my pickin' buddies and some have purchased their own. My question is, do you or will you have any 12 string guitars for purchase? I am definately in the market for one and your's play so doggone good I would really like to skip the shopping around and just go ahead and buy a Zager! Thank you for such a great product at such a reasonable price.

03/13/2003 I have been playing guitar off and on for almost 30 years, during this time I have had the opportunity to play and own may different guitars. I can honestly say that this guitar is the first instrument I have owned that has really made a difference in my playing ability. I am basically a novice player, pretty much stuck in the same rut for the last 25 years,howdver I always enjoyed playing, but in the last couple of weeks since my ZAD50-CE arrived I have been able to play songs using bar chords that have always been extremely difficult for me. This is truly amazing I feel like I can now actually improve as a guitar player. This guitar actually is "easier" to play, my 10 year old son is now beginning to play and even he could tell the difference in the playability of the Zager. Props to Denny for truly an amazing instrument!!!

03/10/2003 I Recieved the Zager ZAD50CE today and was excited yet had a little doubt as ordered one of the "B stock" guitars. You can imagine how I felt when the first half hour was spent trying to find out why it was a "B stock" I cant find any place on it with a blemish. I have searched for 3 months trying to find an easy play guitar as I have short fat fingers and arthiritis in my middle two fingers. I have had to play my guitar with the capo on the first fret to even be able to play, and then my F chord was muffled with my fingers. I was really getting discouraged and ready to quit playing when I found your guitars on the net. After e-mails with Denny Jr. I figured I had nothing to lose with your warranty. Its just amazing as I have played for an hour and can play without my capo and even hit F without muffing it. This will keep me playing with enthusiasm...cant wait till my next guitar lesson to show the teacher.I play for therapy and you guys are everything I read about and more, great guitar!

03/10/2003 Hi Denny, Dennis Jr. and all the folks at Zager guitar. I just received my second Zager EZ-PLAY guitar in less than a month. The first was the Martin DM-1BK. After getting it and playing it for less than a week I knew I wanted another Zager. I really couldn't afford another guitar but I sold a big name guitar that I wasn't really happy with and purchased a Zager ZAD-50. It was the best decision I have made as far as guitars are concerned. The ZAD-50 in my opinion has as good or better sound than the big name guitar that I sold and it is much easier to play. I also want to mention that the look of the ZAD-50 is also awesome! I have also signed up for Denny's on line lessons and learned more in the first hour than I did with months of lessons at a music store. All in all you could say that I am absolutely 100% pleased with my guitars, lessons and customer service. Please feel free to use any or all of this letter in your testimonials section, you may also use my email address so anyone who is thinking of buying a Zager guitar may contact me. Take care and THANK YOU again.

03/10/2003 Hi Dennis, I just got the Zager guitar I won from Gritz Magazine's contest. I really LOVE it! Fantastic sound and looks. The difference between how far you have to press the strings down between it and my old one is AMAZING! Very easy to play and sounds great. Nice case also! I signed up last night with your on-line lessons and will go there soon to do my first one. I have high hopes, based on the good testimonials I read there and from the Gritz guitar reviewer, Michael Red Tail. He recommended them highly also.THANKS!

03/07/2003 Hi Denny and all the folks at Zager guitar. I have recently purchased two of your EZ play guitar. I just signed up for the on line lessons today and all I can say is WOW! I have learned more in the first half hour than I ever imagined possible. Everything is so well explained and close up it is like having your own guitar instructor at home. I have always wanted to learn the finger style guitar such as Jim Croce etc. I think I will finally be able to. Thanks for two of the greatest sounding and easiest playing guitars anyone could hope for. Thanks especially for the on line lessons.

03/02/2003 I RECEIVED MY NEW GUITAR YESTERDAY. I HAD BEEN SITTING WAITING FOR THE LITTLE BROWN TRUCK ALL DAY. I LOVE IT. IT IS EVERYTHING YOUR WEB SITE SAID IT WOULD BE AND MORE. THE EZPLAY IS JUST WHAT I NEED AS A BEGINNER. THANKS FOR BEING OUT THERE.

03/01/2003  Just wanted to tell you guys thanks for such great lessons. I've been playing for about 8 years and hit a learning plateau last year. I couldn't learn anything new!! I just couldn't get better no matter how much I practiced. So I kept playing the songs I knew over and over, which has gotten me nowhere, and left me and my audience (friends and family) bored. This almost led me to putting down my guitar. That is until I signed up for your online lessons. These lessons are great! I found new inspiration and motivation, and am playing more than ever. I'm already at stage four and loving it. I've been a fingerpicker for my whole guitar life but never thought I'd play with such awesome dynamics and flair. The dynamics you bring into your style is absolutely unbelievable. It sounds like two guitars playing together in harmony! My new style that I have learned and adopted from Mr. Zager has wowed my friends and family. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Sincerely

02/26/2003 Hi Denny, Denny Jr. and all the folks at Zager guitar. I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I received my new Zager Martin DM - 1 BK guitar two days ago and I can't seem to put it down. As a beginner who has been trying to learn for the past 15 years or so I can't say enough about it. I have always gotten frustrated in the past when I tried to play songs with lots of chord changes. My new Zager Martin EZ play makes those chord changes much easier. I cannot believe how beautiful this guitar looks and sounds. I am confident now that I will practice more and am already sounding better. I will also be signing up for your on line lessons. Thank you for a great guitar, fast shipping and all the extra goodies that you included. I will definitely be purchasing another of your EZ play guitars as soon as possible. Feel free to use any or all of this letter in your testimonials section and use my email address if necessary so anyone who is thinking of buying an EZ play can contact me if they wish. I wish you folks all the best, take care and THANK YOU again.

02/23/2003 Denny, Thank you for making this kind of guitar available. I've owned 2 Martin guitars, and I have to say that, sound quality wise, my new ZAD 50 is the equal of both of them. Of course, the guitar is beautiful to behold. The binding and abalone are especially nice touches, and the gloss finish is very attractive. However, a guitar is measured by its sound. I love the tone of this guitar. Deep, strong and even. I love the warmth and midrange punch . The sound is full and crystal clear; it never becomes murky or muddy. I had not played an acoustic for 3 years, but now my Zager is all I've playing. The electric has been sitting in its case ever since the ZAD 50 arrived. I was a little worried about how my hands might hold up to an acoustic after playing an electric exclusively for so long, but the transition has been made much easier than by the EZ PLAY system. The action sits nice and long, and the string spacing makes both finger and flat picking easy. Oh, I don't want to neglect mentioning the shape and size of the neck. Perfect, especially since I have smallish hands. About the only thing I've found to be superior to the value of this guitar is your customer service. I sent and email with some questions and recieved a reply immediately, as in within 20 minutes. Ditto for the phone calls I made. A friend of mine played my ZAGER and promptly resolved to get one of his own, as did one of his guitar students. Thanks Again,

02/20/2003 Good Evening Gentlemen, My guitar has arrived, and WHAT A GUITAR! It is such a beautiful instrument; with obvious attention to detail. I can't stop looking at it. As for the sound: IT'S INCREDIBLE! Unfortunately, my playing skills can't do it justice, so I am interested in the on-line lessons, how do I proceed? Regards,

02/18/2003 I love my new EZ-Play modified Martin. I haven't touched a guitar in years. I got my new Zager guitar last weekand played it 1 hour a day since and still don't have any sore fingers. The guitar was in perfect tune whenI opened box. I check the tune daily and still have done very little tuning. The guitar is easy to play, sounds great, and looks great. You Guys sure know howto build guitars. I signed up for Denny's online lesson program too. You are as good teaching as you arebuilding guitars. This is the best experience I've had in long time. Great guitar, great teacher,and great people to do business with.

02/18/2003 Hi Dennis,Please pass this on to Denny. I had the good fortune of spending this morning with Laurence Juber who is an exquisite, world class fingerstyle guitarist. We were in an informal Q and A session without guitars and he told me to think vertically instead of horizontally as I learned fingerstyle, to take the stacked notes one "rhythm movement" at a time rather than trying to learn the running bass line, lead line, etc. As he elaborated I realized that he was explaining precisely the same concept as Denny's tab-method. I thought that was pretty cool.He gave me a couple of other "cerebral" pointers to go along with it and I came home and turned on the videos again and took a big jump in progress. My wife has joined me and together we are tackling the breaking of decades-old bad habits with the intention of replacing them with Denny's teachings.

02/14/2003  Received my guitar a few hours ago and it is just fine. It does play like an expensive guitar. Back in the 60's I had a Gibson country and western and the action of this guitar reminds me of that great classic. I am quite satisfied.Thanks much

02/12/2003 Hi, It was my lucky day when I stumbled across your website while I was seaching the 'net for guitar strings. The guitar (with your string system) that I purchased from you guys plays great...couldn't put the guitar down! Was up till the wee hours enjoying the greater range, ease of use and great sound coming from my new guitar. Keep up the good work! Thanks again,
