Thank you Henry, Charles and Denny for crafting this beautiful guitar. Will strive to make it sound as great as it looks. I am a newby with a lot of determination in anything I do so wish me luck. 😎

I love my Zager guitar. Brand new out of the box it already has a great sound, great playability. It’s an outstanding guitar which will only get better with time. Thank you Zager family, you were easy to deal with, answered all my questions & you could triple your price for the product you built I have a Gibson Songrider, Martin, a few Taylor’s. I won’t be playing Martin or Taylor’s anymore. Zager sounds beautiful & has boom. Get a Zager

I have been trying to learn guitar and music since 2012 with many stops and starts along the way and 4 different in-person teachers (plus dozens of online/YouTube teachers). I very recently discovered Lauren Bateman and decided to pay for her lessons. This has been the best decision ever. And she is the reason I looked into Zager guitars. She mentioned the brand in her initial free course and I decided to take a look. I have been learning on a Breedlove Passport C-250, and thought the playability was great. After searching for a used Zager, and finding this beautiful Mahogany ZAD-20 model at a fair price I decided to give it a try as I was starting the Lauren Bateman lessons. Well, the Easy Play name is correct. I cannot say what the specific differences are, but I can say that I now reach for this guitar every day instead of the Breedlove that I was so familiar with. I still like that guitar, but I simply like this Zager better. It is easier to play, and easier to get a good tone. I am a beginner so I cannot explain the reasons, but the proof is in the practice time. I enjoy practicing and learning more than I have in the past. I did not think I would like the Dreadnought shape as I was used to the smaller OM body, but I am quickly becoming comfortable with this Zager Dreadnought. Whatever the combination action of things are the result is that I am enjoying learning more than I ever have and I want to pick up the guitar even after a long day just to practice for a few minutes.

I am so happy with my purchase, my 900om looks beautiful and sounds amazing.The craftsmanship that went into the making of it is nothing short of perfection.Thank you Mr. Zager and your support team for providing excellent service and quality.

I recently received my new guitar (a ZAD80CE "OM" Aura) and am very, very happy with my purchase. It is simply the most beautiful guitar that I have ever owned and it plays and sounds like a guitar that costs twice as much. I went to a couple of guitar stores to play Martins and Taylors in order to compare them with my new Zager and the Zager wins, hands down. Thank you so very much for your quality craftsmanship and for building a guitar that I can play for extended periods of time, even with the arthritis that I have in my hands. It was worth the wait!!!

The short version is "I couldn't be happier with these guitars!" I LOVE guitars in general and I've been playing for a little over 26 years. Around 23 years ago I was doing a ton of hands on research, going from one guitar store to another and at the time I was pretty much set on buying a Taylor cutaway with a built in pickup, EQ and tuner. One day I went to a "boutique" type guitar store, picked up a Takamine EF 34 1C, tuned it up, strummed an open G and immediately brought it to the counter and asked how much. The price was awesome for a guitar with such amazing sound and action. Plus it had NO buzz. AND it was around 60% less than the Taylor I was looking at. I bought it and it's been my "baby" ever since. UNTIL I GOT THESE ZAGER GUITARS! I ended up getting the BOGO deal and let me tell you that I'm BLOWN AWAY by, number one, THE SOUND. Both guitars(the ZAD900CEOM and the basic Easy Play) are ALREADY, SO WARM and RICH. THE SUSTAIN, THE PROJECTION and the VOLUME, not to mention the ACTION are ALL superior to my 23 year old Takamine. I even changed the strings on the Takamine because I thought it would at least be "equal" in all the sound qualities and action but NOPE. Over the years, naturally, I've played some other guitars and have definitely felt that I did want to go back to doing more hands on comparisons and I was prepared to, at one point, around 10 years ago, to spend over $4000 on a Kao Taylor cutaway with built in pick up, EQ and tuner but I just couldn't pull the trigger on it. Well, I'm glad I didn't because I feel like I got the BEST bang for the buck with these ZAGER guitars. There were a few issues with shipping (which, believe me, I was SWEATING about) but in the end, it was totally worth it. The Zager family really took care of me. A special shout out and thank you to Emily!

I purchased the parlor size because of my height (5’3”). There was a video on the website demonstrating the size and performance of each size, which helped my decision. My guitar is even better in person. It has wonderful tones and a beautiful finish. It is a bit thick for me, but I am over weight and have extra padding in front. But I’m enjoying practicing everyday to limber up and overcome this issue. There was a sale with a bonus of necessary accessories. Also the 100% refund with free shipping made it an easy decision to try a Zager guitar.

I had been considering Zager guitars for quite some time before I finally pulled the trigger on a ZAD80 CE-OM Aura. I am happy I did. It has a beautiful sound, feel, and appearance. There is a ton of value here with the fit and finish and attention to detail. The cedar top gives it a nice mellow sound right out of the box and that should develop further as the guitar ages. The solid rosewood body looks as amazing as it sounds. The Grover tuners are the real deal, not a branded knock-off. The hand-laid abalone inlay around the body is stunning. The Fishman Aura is a great preamp that has four customizable images that can be edited, (wow…that was both redundant AND repetitive) stored and accessed immediately via a slider switch and then blended with the raw tone of the Fishman transducer. It is an absolute joy to play this guitar plugged in or unplugged. Zager also included a pick guard if the buyer chooses to install it. I am truly delighted with the instrument. The case is huge, bigger than the Taylor or the Takamine cases. That’s not a bad thing. The guitar feels well-protected. There’s also a capo, a leather guitar strap, 3 extra packs of strings, picks, a clip on tuner, and a membership to Zager’s library of lessons…something a beginner might appreciate. Me? I’m too old to learn new stuff..the old stuff might fall out! 🫤Also, a little shout out to Denny Zager, Jr. An extra guitar was shipped to me by error, but when I asked Mr Zager, he said I could donate the extra guitar to the Solid Rock Foundation on their behalf! That’s a good man and a good company to do business with…I’ll be a repeat customer for sure!
