Zager EZ-Play ZAD15 3/4 Size Acoustic Black $495 - On Sale $345

Our 3/4 Size "Baby" has all of the design elements of our full size guitars except it's 25% smaller in size. This guitar is ideal for children and small adults. It's great for travel and can be stored in very small places. It also makes a great second guitar for the home or office. What separates our baby from other babys is that we build our small guitars like our big ones using real wood (no plastics). What this means to you is every year your guitar will sound sweeter and more powerful because quality woods only get better with age.

Customer Testimonial

I am SO glad I didn't get the Alvarez MSD and ordered a baby Zager instead. This is the finest 3/4 sized guitar I have ever seen. I feel like I am beginning a new love affair. I expect to play this more than any other guitar as my daily practice guitar because it is so comfortable. My right shoulder remains low and relaxed and the string set-up eliminates any left hand pain. I intuitively know that practice with this guitar will make me a better player on my other guitar, my wonderful ZAD80CE OM. Just confirming all the great things I’ve read, and now seen with my own eyes, and held with my own hands. All the best,

Sound is great for a little guitar,bass is lacking but that is to be expected from this small body.The guitar has great sustain, clear tone right up the neck, it makes you want to pick it up.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
I really can not find anything wrong, setup was perfect, the finish was perfect.

Reliability/Durability : No Opinion
Looks well made, nice finish, and a good neck angle.I would have to believe it will stand up to anything I throw at it.But only time will tell.

Customer Support : No Opinion
I have no problem, however any communication has been answered promply.But I have a feeling you probably get more service out of these guys.then most.

Overall Rating : 10
Playing for 40 years on/off. I have too many guitars to mention, some I have made myself.I would buy again.I did pick this guitar on spec., the setup ,the fact that is all wood, and reputation of the company made me take a chance on this rather than Baby Taylor etc, but basically it was perfect setup I liked.The only thing is, I wish it had 14 frets clear then I probably would'nt hardly pickup the other guitars, with my smaller hands this really the ticket.

The Baby Zager is a 3/4 guitar that has a flawless finish. I don't know all the names of the woods and components used but compared to everything I saw at 2 local dealers, this is the finest look of all.

Sound : 10
I am a novice player but I can tell you that it sounds better than my best friend's well-aged Martin. He is so envious. The 3/4 Baby Zager is playabe by my six year old - although she isn't really playing it.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
The guitar came perfectly tuned and seems to stay in tune well well.
Flaws? None at all. I'm a surgeon and I look for flaws for a living.

Reliability/Durability : 10
The straps button are solid, tuning hardare top of the line; so I guess it will last a long time. Hopefully my daughter will be enjoying it many years form now.

Customer Support : 10
Well, ordering this guitar online was as easy as any online purchase. The Zagers responded to the purchase with notifications of the order, when it was sent and when it would arrive. Bingo - there it was! They included a new set of strings and a pick with the guitar.
I have since ordered a case by phone and they handled that as nicely as before.

Overall Rating : 10
I and my wife are novices We did our research at local stores and online. We wanted a guitar that was easy on the fingers, sounded like a great guitar and that would be a bit smaller for a young child to play if she became interested. The popular wisdom is to get a fine guitar rather than a cheap one as the child will instinctively not play a bad sounding guitar. The Baby Zager sounds so good that she is picking it up and strumming it on her own - Just like they predicted she would!

This is a little 3/4 size guitar similar in size with the Baby Taylor. The finish is a beatiful laquer. I bought this guitar for my 8 year son to start lessons with. My full size guitars are just a little too big for him to handle. I don't know ALL the particulars of the construction but it's a beautiful little guitar, stays in tune perfectly and has very smooth tuners. The neck is great and it plays very supurbly all the way up the neck.

Sound : 10
The Baby Zager is noticbly louder than the 3/4 size Taylors, Martin and Alverez guitars I played. It plays up the neck better than my 414CE Taylor! I would say the sound is bright more than full but what I noticed is that the sound could be varried by pick or finger pressure better than most guitars. For a little guitar, and I compared it to everything I could find up to the $500 range (remember this for my kid) I would say it pales the others by comparison sound and ease of play wise and looks.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
If you've felt the action on a Zager you should probably do so. It's amazing how low it is without any string buzz. I think there most expensive guitar is in the $700 range (with electronics) and I'm amazed at that price. The guitar was perfectly set-up from the factory! The fit and finish of the guitar was prefect.

Reliability/Durability : 10
Haven't got a clue how it will hold up, especially to my son, but it's got a lifetime guarantee so I really don't care.

Customer Support : 10
I emailed Zager Guitars for several days before ordering the guitar. They had immediate responces to my emails and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. They provided even more information than I'd requested on some occations. Also, they have a complete money back guarantee including shipping both ways so I wasn't concerned about the purchase. I don't know how the customer support could be any better. The guitar came with extra strings, picks a nice guitar stand and a Zager Guitar shirt. None of which I knew was included. Nice.

Overall Rating : 10
I've been playing guitar for close to 35 years and play regularly with a low-key group of friends in a very nice studio. I didn't buy this guitar for myself but for my son but I really have to stress how nice this little guitar is compared to the 3/4 size Taylors, Martin and Alverez's I played. I was trying to get him something he could grow into that didn't sound like a cheap, little guitar. I absolutely found gold in the this Baby Zager. It's several full steps better sounding and probably 10x easier to play than the others. I can probably afford any guitar I really wanted, but I'm more into guitars that sound and play well. I think the Zager guitars are worth looking into especially with the money back guanantee including shipping that's offered. My next full size guitar will be their top of the line Zager.

I think anyone looking for features specific to a guitar should visit the website for the company they are interested in. But here are some I like the most:

thin neck
low action
3/4 size
beautiful woods

Mine is a simple acoustic with great sound and a marvelous feel. Just what I was looking for!

Sound : 9
This is a great 3/4 size acoustic guitar that fits my small frame and small hands to a "T." For a small guitar it has a full sound.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
One of the main reasons I was interested in Zager Guitars was the set-up. The modifications work very well for me, particularly the action. My guitar is beautiful and arrived in perfect condition.

Reliability/Durability : 9
This guitar is the best built I've owned. It is durable and solid. The hardware is strong. The finish is deep and glossy. Though I won't be playing any concerts, I believe this is the last guitar I will ever but... and I hope to be around awhile longer!

Customer Support : 10
Zager fully baks its products and the service is exceptional.

Overall Rating : 10
I have fiddled around with guitars for 35 years. I've owned different acoustics over the years. Never could find one that fit me well until I read about and subsequently tried the Zager ZAD-15. Rather than buying on impulse, I spent several weeks trying out 3/4 size guitars. Many were good, some were not, but none really met my needs until I received the ZAD-15. The closest would be the Little Martin. I would replace my ZAD-15 in a heart-beat. Indeed, I've recommended Zager Guitars to a friend who wants to surprise her husband with a new guitar for his birthday. He hasn't played in awhile and she really connected with the description of Zager guitars.

So far I have no complaints and no longings for something I didn't get with this guitar. For anyone looking for a small guitar -- for whatever reason -- check out the ZAD-15. There's no risk if it isn't the guitar for you.

see Zagers website http://www.zagerguitar.com/ez-index.htm for a complete discription. I wanted a good solid,full sounding, 3/4 guitar, and thats what I got from Zager's This guitar is going to be used daily and will see battle, so a solid middle of the unit piece was what I wanted.

Sound : 10
The sound is excellent for a 3/4 Acoustic. Sounds better than allot of full size classics. I don't know who is making them for Zager, but they are built to a higher standard then most in its price range. If you play very hard, this guitar will start to buzz, but then again, the strings are cut low to the frets so this would be expected. It is surprisingly full and bright for its size. The string spacing is perfect for small fingers and hands. Large hands and fingers will have a hard time.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
The tune Denny put on was great out of the box. The action is very easy. It holds and is easy to tune, the fit and finish is very nice for its price. The inside is well braced and clean, no glue drippings, rough cut edges on braces , etc... The outside finish is again excellent for its price range.

Reliability/Durability : 8
The guitar comes with a bottom strap button, but I removed and install strap locks, the upper lock needed to be drilled and a fitted piece of mahogy inside ( two pieces of glued up and contoured 1/8 furniture grade plywood) for a good solid mount, as the case wood is too thin to support daily playing. It could use a pick guard, I was surprised it didn't come with one. This guitar has been great and I have no issues so far.

Customer Support : 10
Dennis was great in all aspects of dealing. This was one of my main reasons to select Zager as a Guitar company. They said any problems with the guitar, just let us know and they will take care of it ASAP. Can't ask for more than that. The ZAD-15 comes with a no hassle 100% money back guarantee.

Overall Rating : 10
My son has been playing your ZAD-15 for 2 months now. Getting it to me
for Christmas with short notice was fantastic. Thanks Dennis for all
your help both online and over the phone. The guitar sounds great and
he finds it very easy to play and tune. It was very important to have
a good quality guitar that would be easy to pick up and play. The fact
you took the time to work with me and stand behind your guitars and the
work you put into them is what set you apart from any other company we
considered. The ZAD-15 worked out great for us in all respects. I'm
looking forward to getting another Zager guitar soon.

This was a letter I sent to Zager this week, thanking them for the help and guitars. There are allot of good middle of the road guitars out there, where and who you buy from will make the difference in the long run. Find someone who will stand behind what they do and sell. The Zager's are doing just that. Yes, you can buy something off E-Bay cheaper, but what are you getting? does it come with a no hassle 100% money back guarantee? Can you pick up the phone and talk with the guy who modified and tuned the guitar. you just bought?

I've played the guitar for hours. It stays in tune perfectly. The finish is durable and well applied.

Customer Support : 10
The warrantly is life time. I've had a number of contacts with the company and their response is timely --- less than 24 hours. They are courteous, professional and helpful. Above all they are honest. If a customer doesn't care for a Zager guitar, the full refund prices is refunded and THEY pay for the return shipping.

Overall Rating : 10
I've been playing for 10 years and own 6 other guitars, all acoustic except for one electric for which I use an amp. The Zager ZAD-15 is absolutely the best guitar I've ever owned --- I wish I had bought one years ago. It's incredibly easy to play because of the setting of the action and the neck design. The neck finish is excellent --- my hand doesn't stick on the neck as I change chords. If it werer lost or stolen, I would immediately buy another. Anyone who gives a Zager guitar a bad review obviously is a dishonest competitor with an agenda.
