Zager ZAD80CE

Another Zager for my collection – I just ordered my 4th Zager guitar, a ZAD 900 12, and I can't wait to have it delivered; it won't be ready until July. Good things come to those who wait. I also have a ZAD 50 CE, an ZAD 80 CE, and a Parlor Size African Mahogany Electric, and I love them all; great sound, great action, and great looks. As much as I love these instruments, I… Read more

think I'm most impressed with the customer service. I had a million questions each time I ordered, and each was answered with care and concern. I have to admit I have been a bit of a pain in the butt, but the folks at Zager didn't seem to be bothered, and treated me with respect. I couldn't recommend this company or its products any more strongly. The guitars are top of the line, and the major companies should beware, as the quality of all the guitars and the company in general far exceeds anything they have to offer. It has been my distinct pleasure to write this review of a company who demands excellence

ZAD80OM acoustic Gorgeous Guitar – Zager guitars Update - almost a year later and I love my guitar! I have come a long way and my guitar sounds great. I did need to get it set up by a professional as the action was high. Now that I have learned quite a few chords and strumming patterns I can say I really love it. It sounds beautiful. Ive only used the Zager strings and plan on… Read more

trying out some different ones in the future. The case is top notch and my guitar stays in tune. I highly recommend Zager guitars. Enjoy. I recently had the good sense to try out a Zager guitar because of the easy guaranteed 30 day trial and no shipping fee returns. I purchased a Zad50OM and it was so beautiful I decided to upgrade my purchase to a Zad80OM. As an older beginner I plan on this being my only guitar. I loved all the abalone and the warm tone of the 80. The 80 arrived and the condition was not up to the quality I expected after getting the 50 in perfect condition. I sent pictures and got a response within 15 min. My return label arrived later on that day and a new ZAD80OM arrived 4-5 days later. It looked and sounded perfect to me. My guitarist neighbor checked it all out for me yesterday and said it was fine other than action a bit high but that will settle down on its own in a few weeks or the instructions to adjust it were right in the case. The guitar sounded so beautiful as he played , I am inspired to pick it up for daily practice. As a beginner I bought not only the guitar and a hard case with a humidity gauge but all the accessories as well. For me especially as a beginner, the hours and hours of lessons, videos, and music in the library was a huge draw! Highly recommend!

My new 900CE Sunburst LH Acoustic Electric LEFT HANDED Guitar – I recently purchased this guitar to basically re-learn how to play. I am left handed and when I was young I just turned a guitar upside down and taught myself to play in that manner. I gave it up along the way because there comes a time that you realize you just can't reach certain chords playing that way. Now, some 25 - 30 years later, I have… Read more

a desire to pick it up again but learn it "the right way", and the promise of the easy play feature of Zager guitars is what drew me to their website, and I was also attracted by Denny's lessons library and teaching method. The "easy play" part has exceeded my expectations, I can tell you that, and the beauty and craftsmanship is totally amazing!! Every aspect of this guitar (as well as the case with the digital humidity monitor) screams quality. From the first time I took it out of the box I have found it to be everything they promised, and more; the electronics are world class, the finish is fantastic, and the combination of woods used is beautiful. The lessons library is already speeding me towards my goal; with them, and by using the experience that I DID have, although upside down, I am already playing some songs again, and this wonderful new guitar allows me to practice as long as I want since it is so easy to play. Thanks again Zager guitars - couldn't be happier if I was twins!!

Great Guitar, beautiful to look at and sounds just as good. Zager was very responsive to my emails and kept me informed of the delivery date. overall I am very happy with the guitar and Zager.

Did Not Expect This Quality for the Price – I am 77 years old and not quite as strong as I was. The spacing on the strings plus the shape of the neck of my ZAD 80CE just made things a whole lot easier for me! Being very fussy about my guitars (I have a Martin HD-35, a Gibson J45, a Blueridge BR-70, an Enya Pro4 X, and Guild 240) I went over the Zager with a fine tooth comb and could NOT… Read more

find a single defect. To top it off, that that price I did not expect a Martin-style hard case or a boatload of strings. The sound? Not quite as much bass as the HD-35 but definitely more mid and high end clarity and projection. This baby is a keeper!

Zager 80CE – All I can say it was more than I hoped for, I have used a Alvarez Yairi for years, this Zager truly is what they advertise, and my new go too acoustic.

unbelievable – I just received my 4th Zager guitar, a ZAD 900E 12, and its an unbelievable guitar. i never thought that any guitar would look and sound better than my other Zagers, but this one far exceeds anything I have including my Gibsons, Guild, Mossman , and Ovation The neck and action make it very easy to play, and the sound is bright. I understand… Read more

there are some people out there who bad mouth Zager guitars. I don't know what they are playing, but all of mine are far superior to anything else I own. Just to be clear, I am not affiliated with Zager in any way, except for being a very satisfied customer. i contacted them at every turn, and was treated with courtesy and respect. Their customer service is second to none. If you are a beginner, or a seasoned veteran, I would recommend Zager guitars to everyone.

Nicer than I expected – It took a while from the time I ordered the ZAD900 until I received it. Well worth it. From the first look at the case quality, I could see that this was going to be a special addition to my collection. I own Taylor's, Gibson's, Ovation and others and by far this piece is of exceptional quality. Even freshly built with time needed to mature, it sounded fabulous. The strap and accessories were a nice touch also. Thanks Denny.

Excellent Acoustic/Electric - better than Martin/Gibson – I recently bought ZAD80CEOM. I sold my Larrivee LV-10 Walnut 2003 ($2,700) and used the funds to get this one. Same model style, but the Zager plays easier and sounds better. I stopped by local guitar store (Greensboro, NC) yesterday and tried all the high priced Martins/Gibsons/Taylors. I must confess the Zager guitar I have plays better, easier… Read more

and sounds better than any of those 2,000-4,400 priced guitars. Sadly, the new Martins are made in Mexico. I am so happy I went with your brand. In Church, I just plug into system and it sounds fantastic. Keep up great work!

Great Folks to do Business with! – I received my Zager ZAD-80CE yesterday. Out of the box, it was set up and in tune with excellent intonation. It looks better than its pictures on the Zager website. Its slim neck feels good; I'm adjusting to the width of it very well. I have not yet plugged it into my Fishman Loudbox. Unamplified, the sound is rich and full and compares very… Read more

favorably with my other acoustics: Favilla acoustic, Fender Acoustisonic Telecaster, Gramann York #63, Martin D-28, Ovation Legend and Takemine P-5. The outstanding package of accessories blew me away. I highly recommend the ease of my transaction and prompt delivery. I also commend Zager for prompt replies to email. I'm pleased to add the Zager ZAD-80CE to my collection.

EASY TO PLAY – To begin, the first ZAD80CE I ordered was damaged in shipping. The folks at Zager didn’t hesitate, they emailed a return shipping label and the day after Christmas my replacement guitar arrived. Because there were things I put off doing due to the Christmas holiday, my idea was to plug the guitar into the amp, play it for 15 minutes to test it,… Read more

then do what needed to be done. That session turned into 1 hour and 15 minutes. This is an easy guitar to play even with 75-year-old hands. Great guitar, Great Company!

Zager 80zad – I have been looking around for a deal on this guitar for quite awhile. Of course, money is always an issue and the price was fairly steep for me. I play at home and don't necessary need the electronics. I happen to find an "80", no electronics, at a price of $750 and in excellent condition with the case. The reason I'm writing is to express how… Read more

much I love this guitar, especially the rosewood, but even mores so the cedar. I have a Martin DM but I'm looking at one of the mahogany 50's to replace it. Thanks again.

I love my guitars and this company – I just got my 3rd Zager guitar, a ZAD80CE, and I'm in love again. This guitar is beautiful and plays like a dream--I love the neck, and the action. The sound is very mellow, and it is very easy to play. The electronics are great, and really enhance the sound. As usual, the customer service is the best. I had many questions, and my emails were… Read more

returned promptly with answers to all my questions. Again, I am very impressed with this company, and would recommend it to the novice and experienced player

It’s a soft touch – Love my Zager guitar. It plays as beautiful as it looks.It is so easy on my novice fingertips and has allowed me to practice more. The onboard electrics opens up so many possibilities.

A Perfect Guitar – ....for throwing in the back of the van and playing at the beach or at a crowded party where the safety of your decent Martin or Gibson would be a concern. The Poly finish on this Indonesian made Martin knockoff is thin enough to protect the wood, and thick enough to ensure the wood never truly opens up properly, so the sound will remain tight… Read more

and will only make minimal improvements over time. If you want a perfect, all solid wood beater, this is your guitar. If you want a guitar to get better with age, and be made with first-rate wood, buy Martin, or Gibson, or Santa Cruz.

A Great gift to myself – Jerry Sellars <jerrysellars@embarqmail.com> wrote: Merry Christmas to you. I received my Zager om guitar and love it. I have been playing for 50 years and I am able to play things on this guitar that I have been unable to play cleanly on other guitars. I have two martins, a Gibson And an Ibanez. I highly recommend your guitar for clean playing and a great tone. It was my present to myself so thanks again.

True functional art – I’ve had Yamaha and Fender guitars, but stopped playing a very long time ago. Retired and in my 60s, I was enamored by the Zager easy play ads. I took the plunge, and I’ve never been happier. The 900 is a true piece of beautiful artwork. It IS easy to play with my now arthritic hands, and sound incredible. I bought an amp and now amazed at the… Read more ·  1

Fishman Aura technology. So many extras were included, my questions were answered rapidly by their superb customer service. Treat yourself! You can’t go wrong with their incredible craftsmanship.

Beautiful guitar , sound and looks – I got a great guitar at a great price , customer service is exceptional , great people to deal with and a quality product , delivered on time , sounded great right out of the case , I don't think you can go wrong with a Zager guitar .

A Wonderful Guitar for Those with Arthritis – I thought I'd have to give up playing guitar because my left hand fingers were having serious problems with arthritis, and it hurt to play my guitar. I have had this new Zager guitar just two weeks, and I just love playing it! In fact, my arthritis seems to be lessening already, perhaps since there isn't as much pressure on the fingers. Also, it has a beautiful tone to it.

This is a Great Guitar – I have been playing this guitar for church worship now for over 2 months. I own a Taylor and a 1963 Gibson SJ and this guitar is right in their league.

A true work of art – Received my Zager900omCE guitar beautifully packaged w/case very plush and was stunned first of all by its beautiful abalone inlay and impeccable rosewood back. Most of all was the effortless playing ability! Always had buzzing in bar chords due to lack of hand strength. I am 70 years old and bar chords on this guitar was easy. It has… Read more

beautiful tone both highs and lows! I have owned Guilds, Gibsons, ovations, alvarez, epiphones, and played Martins, but none have matched the ease of effort in playing a Zager. I am so thankful for this guitar and my friend Michael McCormick for recommending Zager to me. He owns two of them and they are his favorite guitars.

Very good Accoustic Guitar – I received my guitar in a timely manner considering the times around the covid virus affecting business and delivery services. I love the Zager product ZAD50CE , the very nice case and accessories received with it. Thanks to Zager for working with us for a great product

Almost too good to be true..but – Wow! My friend bought me this guitar for my ministry, an dnkt only is it flawlessly BEAUTIFUL, it plays amazingly easy! No singing on the strings, and easy to play chords (I'm an intermediate guitar player). I had a Takamine before this and this Zagar guitar is much easier to play! I also love that it's a family owned business. Oh, and my guitar came with a nice, signed certificate of authentication. Quality!!! :

My ZAD80CEOM arrived yesterday! – The guitar exceeded my expectations. The quality, sound and playability are excellent, right out of the box. I can only imagine how good the sound will be as the instrument matures over the coming years. I contacted Dennis Jr a number of times. He was very responsive and made my purchasing experience exceptional.

I got my zad50ce-om yesterday – Outstanding guitar . The sound and apearence is spot-on. Excellent craftsmanship in the easy play format. This is by far the best right out of box playing guitar I have ever bought !

My ZAD90CE is not only beautiful, but sounds really great – I'm an intermediate guitarist and decided to get a new guitar. Long story short, I came across Zager's website a couple of weeks ago and the Sunburst ZAD90CE was the guitar I wanted. It arrived yesterday and it's a gem. Yes, it plays really well, but for me what caught my attention was that the sound is amazing and it's still brand new and will… Read more

continue to sound better in the coming months and years. I asked a couple of questions to Dennis Jr. and he responded almost immediately and was extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to when I can show this beautiful guitar to my guitar playing friends here in Nashville.

Zager Guitars are every bit as advertised – Just wanted to let you know I have a Zager in african mahogany. It's been played by a pile of musicians, and all were VERY impressed! The sound is incredible, the volume is pretty ridiculous, the sustain is forever, and the playability is all that you promised. Great guitar and an amazing price!

Blown Away Zager Sunburst Guitar Xmas Present – Wow for the first time ever my bar F chord sounds good. Brilliant sound and such a beautifully made guitar. Delivered on time and exactly as advertised. My Friends are jealous

Finally a guitar that fits my hand – I've always struggled with left hand string buzz because I could not fit my fat fingers in between the strings. Substantial improvement with my ZAD50CE. Now I have a chance for zero buzz with some work.

This is a fantastic instrument! – I just received my Zager guitar. I have arthritis in my hands and although my Taylor is a great guitar, this guitar is making playing significantly easier. I had to adjust the action , but once I did, Wow! All the hype is absolutely true!
