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.

Worried at first, but WOW what a great 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!

Good stuff
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.

My guitar suffered a small scratch and blemish or cracking of the finish. I emailed Zager Guitars along with a picture. They got back to me directly actually one of there Luther's and gave me very thorough directions and instructions on how to touch up my guitar to make it good as new. He had assured me it was just cosmetic and it wont affect the sound or performance of my nice Zager guitar. I truly appreciate the whole process and companies responses on any and all concerns with my Zager
Guitar which I love and appreciate. My many thanks to a company that cares.
Thank you!

Zager is not only great guitars but also great customer service.
This review is about the great customer service I have received from Zager. I ran into a problem with the Aura system on my ZAD900CE. Zager immediately shipped out a new 900CE and I received it even before the return was picked up at my house by FedEx. The guitar is great and everything I hoped for in an acoustic/electric, and the easy contact and resolution to my problem was above and beyond any customer service I expected or have received from other companies in the past. I HIGHLY recommend Zager for instruments and customer service!

I recently purchased a ZAG 900CE and love it! I haven’t played for quite a while and was worried that my old fingers wouldn’t be able to make cords. The narrow neck and low string height make it easier for me to make clean cords. I’m so happy with my Zager, I’m considering another one to throw in the car when I'm traveling..

My first Zager guitar
I have never seen or played a Zager guitar before, but after visiting the website, reading the reviews and listening to Denny and Denny Jr. explain their building process and history, I felt this was the guitar I should have. I chose the ZAD900 and from the time I placed the order to the time I played the first chord, I was not disappointed. Not only does this guitar play and sound like no other, it is a beautiful instrument. The craftsmanship, quality, and attention to detail is incredible! Thank you, Denny and family for a great purchase and ownership experience!

Bought a ZAD900CE guitar
Bought a ZAD900CE guitar. The workmanship is flawless. The guitar electronics give you a voice different from many other guitars. Aside from the quality and wonderful looks of it there is something else. When you correspond with the company you are given the feeling of being part of the family. A friendship quickly comes together. These are friendly and caring people. In my experience friends are made by respect and trust. This family business gives you this feeling.
