I've come to love Zagers, the guitars and the family that builds them. The Zager family really DOES care that you are happy with the guitar they built. They take your happiness very seriously. It's a personal point of family pride for them. How cool is it to buy a hand built guitar from a person that has sawdust on their sleeves from building it? My CE80 is the best sounding and easiest playing acoustic guitar I've ever owned. The soundboard is so well tuned/balanced that notes above the 12th fret on the high E string are as loud as any open E or A strings played aggressively. Chords with big intervals between notes still have volume balance and harmony. The tuning machines and nut are almost magical. The guitar is so solid that tuning to drop-D only requires the re-tuning of the E string to D. No other strings need retuned as a result of the lower torque on the E string. That is just plain weird. If I wanted to build my own CE80 I'd have to buy tone wood blanks. The Brazilian rosewood blanks I would need are for sale on StewMac listed for $1750. That's $1750 just to buy some of the wood in my CE80. I only paid $1995 for the guitar... already built. Beautifully

I was looking for a nice acoustic guitar to grow old with and found Zager Guitars .I was curious but unsure and scheptical . I decided to give them a chance . The very nice people helped me find what I was looking for . The guitar and all the accessories arrived very quickly . I opened the case and saw a beautiful guitar and with the first strum I could tell it was very projective . I fell in love with the sound and it keeps getting better . I easily set up the playability to be comparable to an electric guitar . I knew that I had to have another . The Zager family has gone above and beyond to keep me playing . Couldn't ask for a better buying experience . I highly recommend Zager Guitars .

The guitar (ZAD900CE Solid Spruce/Rosewood Acoustic Electric AURA Pro Series), guitar case, and everything associated with my order has been just great! The Zager 900CE guitar is by far my favorite acoustic guitar that I’ve ever played - - and I have played quite a few, with a vintage Gibson Dove and a Larrivee OM-10 Deluxe Rosewood among the guitars I currently still own… The Zager guitar has an exquisite sound, perfect intonation, and is just a pleasure to play. It clearly deserves the “easy play” description you have given your guitars. And in addition to the ZAD900CE, Zager had a buy one, get another full size guitar (BOGO) for free. I was not expecting much from the BOGO guitar, but when it arrived this month I was very surprised.. Clearly it is a less expensive guitar, but it plays very well, has good intonation, and a fretboard that doesn't tear up your fingers like a lot of other inexpensive guitars.. So even for the less expensive guitar, Zager has delivered an instrument that is very playable!! I could go on, but I’ll stop here. Suffice it to say that I am so happy that I finally ordered the Zager guitar… It will be my go to acoustic guitar from this point on. Thanks for all of your good work and your great instruments!!

I was grateful to have been raised by my musically talented grandfather.He was born in an era when you could still afford Martins best made guitars. He owned some guitars that would be very valuable today. He owned and played a couple different Martins, that were built in the 1930/40s.One was a D-18 the other was a D-28. Great sounding guitars no doubt. The reason I bring this up is when I decided to buy my first guitar, I naturally bought a Martin.It was a great sounding guitar as well. Then I saw an advertisement for the Zager brand. It was supposed to be easer to play due to the guilty build and setup. I had been dealing with arthritis in my hands and wanted to try one. Well I bought the Zag-50 sunburst addition. All I can say is WOW. It was much easer to play and still held a bold beautiful sound with less stress on my hands. PS It was almost to handsome to play. Truly a beautiful instrument. It was easer to play as advertised over the Martin that I had bought. Unfortunately as with a lot of folks,times got tough. I had to sell both guitars. I did sell the Martin first. I held onto the Zager as long as I could. I sold my Zager to a friend who owns several different brands of guitars. He was very impressed with the Zager as well. He now plays his Zager more often than the others. I believe in America family business as with the Zager family. Given a choice I always purchase America made products. In this case with the Zager family, you truly get treated as you would have in what I like to call the good old days. They sell beautifully built high quality guitars at a very reasonable price. I will purchase another Zager as as possible. It all comes down to this. I would highly recommend Mr Zager and his family’s outstanding guitars. I can not say I have personally meet them. But what I I can say is when I asked a question they personally answered it, not someone in a secondary market. Give them a try I know you will be as satisfied as I am.

I have enjoyed my ZAD50CE for over 6 years. My Zager's tone and playability have helped me attain a level of play above my expectations. Every question or concern that I have had, has been responded to with respect, speed and professionalism. Always a pleasure communicating with any one of Zager's staff.

I got my 1st Zager guitar in 2005. A ZAD50CE natural. It is a beautiful quality instrument. It feels great, it plays even better. They really are easier to play. the next year I got a black ZAD50 to travel with. And I found the Zager mahogany traveler which goes with me now. Great sounding smaller size guitar. Then in 2008 I got a ZAD80 with the cedar top. I was amazed at how much warmer the cedar top sounded. Now I have 4 and when any of my friends play one, they all say the same thing. They play really good, and feel like quality. Dennis & Dennis Jr and all of the staff at Zager Guitars have been great to work with. No issues with any of my guitars. I have gotten several accessories that are really nice. I highly recommend the Zager Guitars.

The fact that you care about what you make and you can tell when my guitar arrived in the awsome case.my guitar had something over the hole I had to email to make sure I could remove it foud out it's a humidifier felt little embarrassed but the guitar was so nice i didn't want to hurt it. Thanks alot zager

The Zager ZAD-50CE/VS IS EASY TO PLAY. IT OFFERS A STRING ADJUSTMENT SO THE STRINGS ARE VERY CLOSE TO THE NECK WITHOUT BUZZING! I HAVE ARTHRITIS THROUGHOUT MY HANDS AND THIS IS PARTICULARLY MEANINGFUL TO ME. ALSO, I LOVE THE SOUND OF THIS GUITAR!
