Zager GuitarsReviews of zagerguitar.com

I have been playing electric guitars since I was a teenager, and I am now 71. I love the sound of an acoustic guitar, but I could never find one that felt comfortable for me to play. I have owned three high end Taylors but traded them in on electrics because I just couldn't play the things that I wanted on them. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to buy another acoustic. The shop I went to had Taylor, Gibson, and Martin acoustics which all looked great and were very expensive. I was convinced that I would finally find an acoustic that would be a keeper. After looking at and playing a number of them, I came home with a Gibson Les Paul Gold Top. None of those acoustic guitars I tried had the feel and sound I was looking for. I had given up on having a nice acoustic when a year ago, my wife mentioned she had read about Zager guitars. I was skeptical about buying a guitar that I could not play first but the Zager guarantee stated that the guitar could be returned if it didn't meet expiations. My wife said if I wanted, I could get a Zager for Christmas last year. We picked the ZAD80CE Aura and I was amazed when it arrived. It was everything I had been looking for in an acoustic all those years. The looks, sound, and payability are amazing. I love the truss rod that easily allows setting the string action without filing the nut or bridge. I was so impressed that we added a beautiful ZAD900CE as well. Per the Zager staff recommendation I purchased a Fishman Performer acoustic amp which pairs perfectly with their guitars. Both Zagers are keepers and will stay in my family when I can no longer play them.

Denny and Dennis Zager are absolutely the greatest people to work with! When I decided to order my guitar, Dennis kept in touch with me throughout the process! I had a few questions and Dennis was very quick to answer my questions and then followed up after I received my guitar to ensure customer satisfaction! ABSOLUTE BEST Customer Service I've ever encountered! My Guitar is an amazing piece of craftsmanship! Absolutely beautiful. I've shopped Martin, Taylor, Fender and Gibson as well as other high-end brands and I have not found any of them that put in the attention to materials and detail until you get into double and triple the price point. I have played my 1973 D25 Guild for over 30 years, and I have found the Zager to be my new go to even though I'll never stop playing my Guild. Any Negative review about customer service is very difficult to believe because Dennis Zager ISTHE representative. Denny Zager inspects and signs every single guitar. He is meticulous.

I received my new Zager ZAD 80CEA about a week ago (on time) and cannot put it down. I had been playing a 25 year old BlueRidge and the difference in playability was amazing. The tones are rich and deep (exactly what I was looking for) and I understand will get even better with age. I can't wait! The service I received was second to none. I thoroughly checked the guitar for flaws and found none. Denny and his crew did an amazing job. The quality of their work is superb! I recommend this companty and their guitars to anyone looking for quality and playability at an affordable price!

I have 4 Taylor guitars. 914ce, 614ce, 512e, T5. I like the easy play of the Taylor. I had heard of Zagar guitars but NEVER had a chance to play one. I did not know how easy it was to return one if I didn’t like it. My bad. Anyhow, I recently visited a guitar center in Daytona Beach. I happen to see a Zager Parlor guitar. I could not believe how easy it was to play. My wife is 5 foot tall short arms and small fingers. She likes to play the 512e, but has trouble making barre chords and most caged chords. I brought he back to the store the next day. She tried the Parlor guitar and started smiling. She could make chords easily. The action was so low that she did not have to press so hard to make the chord sound correctly. The tone of the Parlor is very nice rich and full of body. I am sorry I did not try one of your guitars before now.. I bought the Parlor for my wife. Little did I know it also came with a hard case, unlike your typical hard case. This case is made for travel and it has a built in hydrometer. For me the case is worth over a couple of hundred dollars. I really got a great deal on this guitar. Thank you for making such a fine guitar.

I have owned a Zager easy play guitar for over a year. It has been a life changer. Before I purchased the Zager, the diabetic neuropathy was so bad in my hands I quit playing. I know play an hour a day and play in church (not that good, but the guitar gives me great pleasure. Thank you, Mr. Zager and your crew. FRED PEASLEY

THE BEST GUITAR EVER!!!! I purchased a ZED900CE years ago and it took a short time to get used to the neck but now I can't believe the difference it made in my playing. I have owned Taylors, Gibsons, and Martins but nothing plays easier than my Zager. Clean, with pure tone is all I ask for. I LOVE THIS GUITAR.

Zager probably doesn't want this review, but I think it will help others who are not "guitar smart" and keep someone else from making a mistake that I almost did. I "almost" gave this beauty up. The company quickly responded and in addition to providing suggestions to fix my complaints, ones that scared me, they coupled that with "we can certainly give you a refund if that is what you choose." Note: When the company tells you the guitar "will get better over time", it does. It does "play easier" too. Read your instructions. Make the adjustment on the string height if needed, as many times as required, then literally listen day by day how much better it gets. First of all, my playing style is finger picking and is a light touch. After worrying about a few problems I considered serious, first was the "playability" being harder than I had expected , then a buzzing of a string or two (which was the result of me eventually OVER-adjusting the string height just a tad to fix the first problem) I had a guitar that really was sounding good. Then a week and then 2 went by. I stopped at a local music store to buy a string winder and saw their top model Martin guitar (not Martin's best, but a very good one that sells for more than my Zager ZAD 900CE 50the Anniversary Edition Sunburst model) and had to request permission to play it. Once I did I put it back after about 3 minutes and went back home to play my Zager. Wow. What difference in sound and ease of play on my Zager. Then another 2-3 weeks went by, with me playing it daily as much as my schedule would allow. I could almost hear it improving daily. Please do read the instructions and don't freak out if there is an issue initially. The Zager staff, Dennis Jr, Betty, Norman the Luthier (and Dennis Sr at the Las Vegas branch doing setup) have answers and can give you videos and instructions if needed. And to top it off, the day I received the guitar at my door Zager started a BOGO offer with a second, smaller base model free guitar. I queried the staff on this and was met with "No problem." They said "of course they would honor the promo since it was that close to my purchase." What a class company. Thanks for a beautiful, wonderfully crafted and amazing sounding guitar! I hope when I get this one paid off you can bring back your small travel guitar for me to take on trips, as I was afraid to bring this guitar with me for a week in a hotel in TN visiting relatives as I couldn't bear to have had it stolen from a hotel room, but man did I miss playing it. (The BOGO base model will probably go to my grandson who is young and learning) I am aware not every part is made in America, but I know all the best materials and parts are used (I saw the list and see it in the guitar now) and it is assembled and finished with American Craftsmanship. Keep up the great work and thank you for making an affordable (I didn't say "cheap") guitar that an "Average Joe" can still buy!

Friendly, yet professional service. I have played a guitar for 68 years, many of those years on stage, professionally, and this Zager 900 pro series is the best guitar I have played in all those years.
