05/23/2013 Hello, I have owned and played a Zager Zad - 20 for about a year now. I absolutely love it. I have a Martin guitar that doesn't compare but of course cost more. I have several buddies that own Martin guitars also. They ask to play my guitar whenever they're over. I can't wait to learn so many more songs with it and take my playing to a new level. Thanks Again.

05/20/2013 Hi Dennis, 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 guitars, my wonderful ZAD80CE OM, and my Big Baby Taylor.

05/19/2013  Hi Dennis, We received our Zad-20 on time & in perfect condition. I am not an expert on guitars but do know about craftsman ship & this guitar is beautiful in every way. My Daughter and I share the guitar and it gets played every day (we both are beginners ). I feel that by finding your web site and buying your guitar I have avoided many of the pitfalls beginners face. I would like to sign up for your lessons for her and I. I look forward to my next purchase from you... Thank you for the great service and wonderful product.

05/18/2013 Hey again, and for the record....I went to Rockville, MD yesterday to Chuck Levin's Music Emporium, or www.wmcworld.com and Guitar Center. Chucks has been around forever and is a really widely known music center, people from all over the world have gone there. Anyway, I played every acoustic they had and nothing touched the Zager I tried....my friend's. It is amazing how $4200 Taylors and Martins just don't touch the playability of your guitars. After that jaunt to the city I was absolutely positive that your guitar was the way to go. I'm very grateful you just happened to have one in stock at a discount that matched the exact one I wanted. I think it was a sign from the Lord!! And who am I to question divine intervention? Thank you again, just wanted to share. John Wilson Keyser, WV

05/16/2013 Hi Denny Received my ZAD 20 CE- very reasonable price. I absolutely love it. It is beautiful. Friends who have been playing for 40 years reckon it is exceptional value and sounds great. Certainly is easier to play than two others I have been learning on. What a great accident discovering Zager guitars and getting one here completely unscathed. Great guitar, packaging and service. Thank You

05/16/2013 I bought a Zager guitar about a year ago and after owning an Ibanez and an old Conn this guitar beats them hands down. I like playing it for hours and it never seems to make my fingers sore. I'm learning so much more and getting better then I ever thought I would in this little of time. A fun new thing in my life! Thanx Denny!!!

05/13/2013 Dennis, I got my guitar yesterday. My dad played it till 11:00 PM last night and did not have anything but good things to say about it. He has a Martin D28 that he loves. He has been playing guitar for 60 years. He said it sounded better than his Martin, that is something I never thought I would here him say. I bought an Estaban a year ago and promptly sent it back and got my money back. Since then I have been leery of buying things over the internet or TV. The Guitar appears to be everything your reviews and website say it is. I am giving you my Fathers opinion because he has more experience (60 years) and plays much better than I do. Thanks

05/10/2013 Hi Dennis, I received my guitar and I'm so very thrilled! It is exactly as we had talked about, and it plays so wonderfully. I feel sorry for my Ibanez that was put in the closet upon the Zager's arrival. The sound is awesome.... just nothing like it. The electronics are wonderful, too, and I'm enjoying trying out the options and the different sounds it creates. Thank you so very much for this incredible instrument that I'll play in many places. Also, the finish is beautiful. And, I could not believe that it was in tune when it arrived........ now that is amazing! Thank you so very much,

05/08/2013 Dear Denny, Your website got it right. This guitar really is 20% easier to play (at least!). I'd love to have a real musician come over and play it since I'm a beginner, so I could sit back and enjoy the tone coming from the front of it. Love the way the tone sustains and the harmonies ring. What a great guitar to have for many years t come. I couldn't complain about anything if I tried. I'm so happy. Thanks again Denny.

05/08/2013 I bought my ZAD-20 about 6 months ago and everything about my experience has been positive. The buying process was flawless - fast, professional, and no "buyer's remorse." I'm a beginner so I don't have years of experience playing other guitars, but I get together with friends that each have different experience levels and every one of them enjoys playing my Zager. This weekend I had a couple of technical questions; Denny Jr. answered both of my emails within an hour - on a Sunday night! In the current era of crappy help desks, Zager is a refreshing reminder that customers value support - thanks, Denny. For all my fellow mid-life-crisis players, I highly recommend the Zager.

05/08/2013 Hi Dennis, I received my dreadnought Zager ZAD20 guitar last week and I can't stop playing it since then, every afternoon, when I get home from work! In my personal opinion, the tonal quality, playability, and finish quality of this guitar is second to none at this price!! Im sure it is better than most of the high priced name brand guitars! Ive never heard of your guitar until I saw your site one day when I was searching for something affordable. I am so glad I bought one from you and I will certainly recommend this to my friends and family. Thank you so much for this great guitar!! I would also like to thank you for your prompt responses to my inquiries. More power to Zager Guitar!! sincerely,

05/04/2013 I just got through leaving a voicemail for Denny but wanted to send this note along as well. I received my ZAD-80 and have not been able to put it down let alone back in it's case. As I said, when I opened the box and then the lid on the case my first thought was that you sent me the wrong guitar. The photos on the web site do not do justice to the look of the woods used on this guitar. The cedar top is so much richer and darker than the photo. The incredible inlay work around the body and sound hole is amazing. The gold Grover tuners are so much more substantial than those on any guitar. I could go on and on about the beauty of this instrument and if it stopped there I'd be happy. However, after tuning and playing the first few notes and chords...well I'm hooked. I already know I will have this guitar forever. I own 2 Martins, and a Gibson J 160-e as well as a few others. The Martin D-28 is for sale on ebay as we speak and once it sells the Gibson will go next. As much as I love those guitars, even after professional set-ups they do not have the action or playability of the Zager. Thanks so much for my new dream guitar. Best Wishes,

05/02/2013 To everyone at Zager Guitars: I received my ZAD-20 two days ago and I am truly impressed. I admit I was a bit apprehensive about ordering a guitar online without being able to play the instrument beforehand. Wow, were my fears groundless! This is really a nice instrument. I was immediately struck with the guitar's appearance - the woodgrains are tight and uniform and the finish very attractive. I've been playing for 40 years and I bought the Zager to be my "traveling" guitar. Right out of the case the Zager sounded terrific with excellent tone and good low-end "punch." I'm sure the sound will just improve as the guitar ages. I have played several Martins and Taylors over the years and this ZAD-20 is so much easier to play. What a refreshing change to buy a guitar that I will not need to take to a technician to have the action lowered! Denny Sr.'s "String Science" eliminates the need for that. The Zager is really a great value for the price. You have made me a very satisfied customer! Best regards,

05/01/2013 Hi Dennis, Sorry I took so long to get back to you after I received my new ZAD80. The guitar arrived in perfect condition. Wow!!! It sounds fantastic. I have an old 80's model Gibson J45 and a newer Ibanez Artwood, my new Zager sounds incredibly better than either of them . As for playability the Zager is far superior, it is the easiest playing acoustic that I have encountered except for maybe a few Taylors and Martins I've played with but those were 10 grand! I wish I hadn't waited a year to purchase my Zager but I'm happy to have been able to purchase one of these fine instruments. Warmest regards to all of you at Zager Guitar

04/28/2013 Dear Dennis: I am a member on the website and am so thankful for all the lessons on the website, and above all my beloved 80CEOM Zager Guitar. You probably get this all the time, but I am originally from Lincoln and my parents and brother still live there. I took lessons from Denny in the late 70's and early 80's (somewhere in my teens). In fact, I still have several of his original handwritten lessons. Still two of my favorites to play are "Yesterday" and "Killing Me Softly". I learned more from Denny in the small amount of time I was with him, than I did from instructors 10 years prior to him (I started when I was 8). He was such a great teacher! Thank you very much Dennis.

04/28/2013 Dennis, Well, my Zager arrived. How exciting! This guitar is great to hold. I just love looking at it. Once I start learning to play, I know I will appreciate it even more. My uncle says I got really lucky with this Zager. He has a $1100 Martin and told me mine plays easier then his. I think my Dad is also secretly jealous he didn't get a Zager 80. Anyways, I will write back once I really get to know her. Thanks again you guys.

04/28/2013 Hi, Dennis I'll tell you what.......I have never had this kind of customer service before. I can tell you guys run a very good and honest company. Plus, I haven't recieved my guitar yet and I’m writing this! Wow! I have taken the time to shop around, both online and in person, and realized this is the best route to go. Your testimonials are amazing, and knowing somebody that already has a Zager, I know they're real. I'll be talking to you later, Dennis, take care and thanks so much! Thanks again

04/25/2013 First of all, I want to thank you for all the extra time and attention you gave me during this purchase cycle. So nice to deal directly with the owners. In today's global market place "it's priceless" Wow! What a lovely well made guitar this is. Easy play set up is for real and anyone will find this guitar a pleasure to play. The African Mahogany sides and back have nice deep rich grain. Sitka Spruce top was well matched. High gloss finish gives this guitar an expensive look and feel I just love. Over all attention to detail is high quality. I have shown my guitar to numerous friends.... Everyone was impressed with it's expensive look and full balanced sound. Electronic preamp Fishman 60 Clearwave works really great! Only used the tuner twice as the guitar has stayed in tune. My older brother Jim, who has played drums professionally as long as your father has played (55yrs) .... He had this to say; Wow the strings are nice and close to the threts... how much did this cost you.... What do think I paid for it i said.... You can't find something this nice under a $1.200.00. The Zager's offers the best online price - performance anywhere... Believe me I have shopped all over the internet.... Nothing comes close to The Zager guitars. I look forward to my online guitar training classes through with your father's. After not playing for 18 years, I have fell in love with playing all over again. Just can't stop picking up my new Zager guitar. (Thank you again) Yes.... I have already waxed my Ax with high quality guitar wax.... Funny thing... still look the same as it arrived. Your customer service is the best I have dealt with, very fast, effective and supportive... You get 5 stars here Dennis. Thank You, and please thank all the employee's who make this guitar package possible.

04/20/2013 I received my Zager 900CE guitar awhile ago and have played it with my worship band in church since, and haven't looked back. It is a very fine guitar I have no complaints but only praise. I have been playing since the Beatles landed here in '62 and have not played, let alone owned, such a beautiful easy playing guitar. I own many guitars from Gibson to Hagstrom and still have not played anything so easy on the fingers and sound so beautiful, a tone with quality that surpasses any well known manufacturer or brand, and the tone is so fine with a top of the line heavy bass that just resounds an articulate melodius feel, it sends chills up my spine. Now, I have many beautiful guitars in my collection, but none so attractive than my Zager 900CE. It is the envy of all my friends that own Martin's, Gibson's, and Taylor's. I would recommend a Zager over anything else, for now I am a beilever that you don't have to spend thousands of dollars for quality, sound and beauty. You have the attention of all my friends and I can predict that they will be looking for a Zager of their own

04/19/2013 Zager Guitars, What can I possibly say that would describe my amazement when I first heard and played this work of art at QUAD Studios in Nashville, Tennessee while producing Doug Kershaw and The Kentucky Headhunters. After years of using Takamine, and Martin acoustic guitars to get the full sound that I needed, and many times having to double track the acoustic track in order to get it full sounding, in comes this (unknown to me) guitar. From the first take we all could hear the difference, the sound was rich, clean and more so it was that full sound all producers look for in the studio and more importantly it didn't need multi takes to get it!!!! It was from that moment on, that I swore I would never use any other acoustic guitar for recording again other than Zagers.

04/18/2013 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.

04/16/2013 a couple of weeks ago I spent some serious time at a National Guitar Center. I played all the top dollar Gibsons, Taylors, Takamines, Yamahas, and Martins. Some , of course, were very nice guitars, but in all honesty, none of them sounded as nice ( or looked as nice ) as my new ZAD-80CE. You guys are the BEST, keep up the good work !

04/16/2013 I have in my possession a tremendous instrument that I hope will last me a lifetime. I have picked up a number of much more expensive guitars, but none that surpass my Zager ZAD-80CE. It is a thing of beauty, but with a sound quality and ease of play that are second to none!

04/13/2013 I just received my Zager Guitar and I felt obligated to let all posible buyers out there know that these Guitars are the REAL DEAL. With the 100% money back guarentee I felt like I had nothing to lose. My guitar instructer has been playing guitars and teaching professional guitar players for over 20 years. I had asked him about purchasing a new guitar and he recomended at the time a Martin D-28. When I brought my new guitar to my lesson this week, he was so amazed by the quality, the sound, and how easy it was to play. He said that he will now recomend the Zagar company to anybody in the market of purchasing a new guitar. In less than a week my quality of guitar playing has already improved. Save yourself the money and buy a $ 2,000 guitar for under a $ 1,000 with the case. What a great experiance it has been. Thank you so much!

04/10/2013 I finally got it today and I was soooooooooo happy about the playability and the sound....it sounds better than my friend $2000 Taylor, and also another friends $1200 cort. And its so much lighter than my previous guitar...Fender GDC-200 SCE. But the most important thing...my fingers doesnt hurt, I dont need to press the strings too hard !!!! I cant really explain how good the guitar is since I am just a hobbyist, but by feeling this is by far the best guitar I have ever played......I just wish...I could get to know Zager guitars earlier. But seriously, for anyone who is skeptical, just buy it its risk free anyways! THANK YOU ZAGER!!! YOU ROCK!!!!

04/08/2013 I received the Zager 900CE today and it is a beautiful guitar, I’m not a professional guitar player but I enjoy picking out songs by ear. I have a total of 7 guitars that include a Gibson J185, a Martin DM acoustic, a 1970 Framus acoustic, a Sigma electric,( Greg Bennett design,) a Gretsch acoustic electric, and a Takamine acoustic electric. When I took the Zager 900CE out of that very nice hard case I gave it a quick tune up and was pleasantly surprised at how nicely and smoothly this guitar plays. The tone is wonderful and I love it. Looking at this guitar is like looking at a piece of art. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.Thank you and keep up the great work.

04/08/2013 Greetings from Central Florida, I received my ZAD20CE, and I have to say it "is" everything everyone raves about. The action is a pleasurable experience, light and easy, the sound is outstanding, as is the projection of sound from the instrument. Like others state, I have tried guitars of top quality in time, but nothing is near the pleasant, pleasing attributes of this guitar. The Zager guitar is head and shoulders above the rest. Thanks to all who brought it into being what it is. I love it!

04/08/2013 I'm a veteran guitar player for over 35 years and I've never had an experience like this with a new guitar ease of playability right out of the box. It was even already tuned and kept its tune in transit! I own over 100 guitars in my collection, most of the acoustics are high-end Martins, Ovations, Yamahas, Takamines, etc. Some have been reworked at a high cost to fit my personal style for best action by highly respected luthiers in our area. I've just received my new Zager ZAD-20CE and have directly compared action with the best guitars I have, and I'm pleased to report the Zager is a hands-down winner! This guitar wasn't even personally fit to me. I'm amazed at the difference! Fast chord progressions are a snap, proving the spacing of the strings are ergonomically balanced to be complementary with human hand anatomy. Makes me wonder why other guitar manufacturers have missed the importance of ease of play for out of the box. The fit and finish is second to none. Its a truly a beautiful guitar to look at from any angle as well as very close up. No flaws anywhere and even the wood grain is perfect. The well-placed subdued abalone inlays are special touch, providing a distinctive appearance over other guitars The sound, whether you're plugged in or not, is also incredible and compares with my high-end Martins that cost me thousands more. The accurately balanced treble and bass assist with strumming or finger-picking to allow the player the ease of flexibility needed for the performance level-intended accents. I splurged and also got the hardcase with the humidifier - turns out to also be a good investment and one I would definitely recommend with the purchase of a Zager guitar. I'm very pleased with my investment in my Zager and am convinced this is really a first class company offering guitars that compare with the very best in the industry.

04/04/2013 Thank you for your reply to my question. I now feel blessed to have learned of you in time and have my ZAD 80 CE. I am just learning to play and started in March of 2007 just before purchasing my Zager. A friend of mine has a dozen or more guitars including Martins, a Taylor, a Huss Dalton, Collings, several Gibsons and more. Some of them are very high dollar instruments which he has let me play. The ZAD 80 CE is better quality has a better sound and plays easier than any of his guitars. I just can't thank you enough for the quality instrument you have been making. May the Lord Bless and keep you all.
