04/30/08 I recieved my ZAD-50CE in the mail last week and I must say that it is the nicest playing acoustic I have ever played. I have played acoustic guitar for 41 years. Recently, I have played Martins, Taylors and a top of the line Ibanez. I have played the Martin, which was almost four times the cost of my ZAD-50CE. I have also played the top end Ibanez since purchasing my ZAD-50CE. All three guitars I played through my Matrix 1000. The ZAD-50CE played easier than the Martin or Ibanez. My Zager also sounded fuller through the same P.A. It has such great tone from top to bottom. The lows is what I was really impressed with. Unbelievable. Even the Martin and Ibanez owners agreed. They loved it and both plan on purchasing a Zager guitar now. This guitar is a diamond in the rough. It's hard for me to believe Zager guitars can offer such a great guitar at such a low price. It is also a beautiful guitar. Now that I own a Zager I plan on buying another for my backup guitar while doing my solo acoustic act. I have a Martin for that but the Zager has spoiled me. It's the only guitar I want to play. Thank you so much for making such a great playing and sounding guitar. Any guitar player that has played my Zager through my Matrix 1000 are blown away. Then I tell them what I paid for it. The Martin owner wouldn't believe me until I showed him the Zager website. All he said was "Wow." I have never been any happier with any acoustic that I have owned or own now than I am with my ZAD-50CE. My next guitar that I purchase is going to be the ZAD-80CE. Thank you so much. I am so glad I took a chance and bought this guitar without even playing one. I am a Zager believer now.

04/28/08 Dennis, The guitar is stunning and very high quality. I have 25 guitars acoustic and electric and have been playing 35 years off and on. I am very impressed with the quality of the ZAD 80 CE. I have a friend that has a Martin Clapton and the Zager plays better and in my opinion sounds better. The Larrivee OM-5 that I am comparing the Zager to is about 9 years old. It has fantastic sound and has incredibly low, easy action. I guess that I am spoiled. I have a Taylor 514 CE and the Zager does indeed play better and easier than it does. Thank you for your time... Sincerely

04/27/08 Hi, Denny. I have been playing a Zager ZAD80CE for a couple of years now, and I have to tell you what a fine intrument it is. I have been playing for 45 years, have owned Gibsons (J-50, L-5, Songbird, ES335-12, EBO bass), Epiphones (Joe Pass II, Les Paul 100), Martin D-12-20, Takamine EF261SBL, Regal roundneck steel, Yamaha SGL100N, and a couple of no-name specials. Your guitar is the one that I pick up to play most often of the 9 instruments that I have around the house now. On top of that, there is no way to beat this instrument for value when you consider the very reasonable price for so much fine tone and easy playability. Thanks very much for making such a fine instrument available (which may still be making good music in the year 2525!)

04/26/08 Hi Denny, I have an old Taylor and a Yamaha -- though the Taylor sounds "larger" and offers better sustain, the Yamaha is by far the easier guitar to play and, consequently, it is the one I record with. Note that the Zager obliterates them both with respect to end-result recorded sound quality, particularly for sustained harmonics. I have a Behringer ACX1000 acoustic amp and the combination is stunning. I do more than just strum or fingerpick, I use multiple techniques -- tapping, press chords, double-lift harmonics -- sometimes all together in the same phrase. If I had to characterize it, I would say it falls somewhere between John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell, and Al DiMiola. In other words, I'm all over the place, everywhere, and quickly. There literally isn't time for me to press deeply into the higher frets -- sometimes a quick touch is all that's possible. Consequently, for me, predictable full-fretboard response is critical. This is what initially attracted me to Zager. I'll send you a recording at some point, you may possibly hear some things coming from a Zager you may not have heard before. I deeply appreciate your prompt, thorough, and professional replies. It's always a pleasure to see someone carve a perfect niche for themselves in the Internet world with a quality product that speaks for itself. I wish you continued success. Thanks again,

04/25/08 I received my ZAD50CE a few days ago. When I open the box I carefully unwrapped it and could not help but be very impressed with the beauty in the details of this fine instrument. I gave it a quick fine-tune and began to play. The feeling reminded me of my first date with my wife and soulmate--a bit cautious at first, but soon a wonderful sense of comfort and ease. The guitar fits me so much better than any I've ever played. I was able to pick some licks that had eluded me with my old Epiphone that I've been playing for the past seven years. I carried it to band practice that night and the instrument awed my bandmates with its playability and tone. I daresay that at least one of them will be placing an order in the near future. I tried most of the other brands--Taylor, Martin, et al--at the local shops and kept being intrigued by Denny's videos and other testimonials. After a couple of quick e-mails to Dennis Jr., I placed my order and got a taste of the great Zager customer service. The extras were nice, too--I wore my tee that day and have the Polaroid of Denny and my guitar on my office wall. I highly recommend the guitar and the service of Zager Guitars.

04/24/08 Hi guys, I received my new Zager guitar from you early last week. I had read many testimonials before I decided to buy, because anything coming mail order is suspect to me unless it is from a known source. Sometimes things just don't go as expected. You know what I'm saying, we've all been there. That was absolutely NOT the case here. I must say that your guitar was everything it was advertised to be and more. For the low price I paid, I expected some unexpected surprises in the form of poor quality or workmanship. Not so! Dollar for dollar I doubt you could match the quality and playability anywhere else. I have played different guitars off and on for quite some time, but never considered myself very good at it. Within the first hour, I knew things had changed for the better. It is hard to believe just how much better my timing became, simply because this guitar is so smooth and easy to play. It is so much more fun playing now than ever before. I sincerely thank you.

04/22/08 I have purchased two Zager guitars from Denny. A 3/4 and a full size. They are both excellent in quality and in sound. Also, Denny is so easy to work with. It is a pleasure and I am sure we will be doing business again. Thank you.

04/18/08 Hi Dennis. I just received my new guitar on Wednesday and I love it! I ordered the black finish ZAD50 Acoustic and I was amazed by the quality. Of course the sound is fantastic. I really enjoy the playability also. I'm parked in an RV park in Mission, Texas and can hardly wait to play my first jam with it. I may have problems getting it out of the hands of my friends. A friend of mine, Gary, liked the guitar so much that he has placed an order also. Thanks for a quality product!

04/18/08 HI Denny, The guitar arrived in perfect condition. I had to wait a couple of hours to open the case due to the cold weather (learned that from watching one of your dad’s videos). I have been playing it for a few hours now and I am very pleased. It looks so much better in “real life” than what the pictures depict! The sound is terrific and I really enjoy playing it. I have watched 5 or 6 of the videos and have found them to be very useful. You guys did a great job in producing them. Your dad really is a likable guy- You fellows run a class act. Best regards.

04/17/08 Dennis, Thanks for the Strap Peg. I did install it yesterday and used the directions Denny showed on the video. It worked great and I am a happy camper. What a great guitar. It is my favorite now and I will treasure it for a long time.

04/16/08 Mr. Zager, I received my new guitar yesterday and am glad to report that it exceeded my expectations. It is by far the easiest playing instrument that I have ever owned. It is far better than one might expect from a guitar in this price range. Also, the case is fantastic. I’m sure I will enjoy it for many years. Thanks again,

04/14/08 Hey Dennis, I just picked my friend and my new guitar from the airport in Singapore. Thanks for making all the arrangements to send the guitar to his hotel in Miami. We got the guitar (in one piece). It sounds and looks great! Once again, many thanks. I'm glad we got the hard case as well, as the airlines weren't very gentle with it, but I'm glad the trip did not affect the guitar at all. I will certainly refer my friends to Zager. We just need to figure out shipping it out of the US! Regards,

04/13/08 Hello Mr. Zager. I bought a 80CE OM Acoustic/Electric from you a while back. I see that they are now sold out so I’m glad I got my hands on one at the right time. After a long frustrating period, I am finally starting to notice a lot of improvement in my playing and there is not one day I don’t come home from work and think to myself that I am lucky to own such a beautiful guitar. It sounds amazing and I am completely satisfied with it. It is the best investment I have made and look forward to many years of playing.

04/11/08 Denny, I have played guitar on & off for 30 years and am not all that good. I have played a Goya for the entire time. I get attached to stuff and have a hard time with change. I have always wanted a better guitar and several times looked at some. The term “better guitar” means something different to everyone you talk to. After visiting numerous guitar stores and realizing a better guitar will cost me from $750.00 to $2500.00 depending on who says what is good, I chose to continue to play my Goya. Then I noticed on E Bay several guitars that said “Zager modified” and researched what that meant. What I found was many, many testimonials about your quality and price. So after much thinking I decided to buy a Zager. It takes me awhile to save that much money so it was a hard decision. I have now been playing it everyday for three weeks and know how much better it sounds and plays than my Goya. I have become very attached to it. And when asked ,What kind of guitar did you buy? I proudly answer, I bought a Zager!
