I have been playing the guitar for a while and I am really good friends with one of the local music superstore in my area. Since I am a guitar enthusiast they always call me when they come up with a find that would interest me. They had a bunch of taylors that I tried but I did not enjoy them as much as I enjoy my Zager 90 series. Nothing wrong with the Taylors, and they did sound amazing but it wasn't for me.
I’ve had my Zager for about 6 years now, and it’s everything they claim it to be. It plays almost as effortlessly as an electric, with a smooth feel and great action. I have about six guitars in my collections, but this is one of my favorites. Even when my friends who own Collings and Taylors come over, they always ask me to let them play my… Read more
Zager. Honestly, I prefer it over my other guitars. It's way easier to play, and for the price, it's way better than the guitars that cost twice as much.
I bought the ZAD 900 in yr 2020 and since then I've had to have it to a Luthier 2 times. Constantly having to adjust the neck. It changes with the weather .Battery will run down quickly and give you 1 minute to change when it starts to blink. Gotta keep a battery on stage at all times. Not like my old gibson that hasn't needed adjustment ever. Zager is built too flimsy.
Outstanding – My guitar was delivered and right out of the box it was very little adjustment to be perfectly in tune. I rattled off about 10 songs and it was still perfectly in tune. The sound was as good as anything I've played in my life. I looked it over and the Finish was flawless. Show details
This Guitar Is A Must Have! – I just received my new ZAD900E and when I opened the case I was blown away by the appearance. The craftsmanship is very apparent. I love the feel of the satin finish of the neck and how it blends in with the gloss finish of the Sitka Spruce and Indian Rosewood body. The 900 series has Curly Maple bindings that pop against the Rosewood. Equally as… Read more
impressive as the looks is the sound, it is a rich deep sound. I watched videos of this model prior to purchasing and though it sounded great, but once you hear it in person it's absolutely amazing. The customer service is also very responsive to any questions or concerns you may have. I wanted the ZAD900E version meaning without the cutaway so I mentioned to Dennis Jr and I got a confirmation within minutes that it wouldn't be a problem, and in fact when I placed the order he remembered our conversation let me know that he had already noted it on the order. This is a quality instrument and a must have!
Awesome Instrument – My wife surprised me with the Zager 900 top-of-the line acoustic/electric guitar for my 70th birthday. I’ve had a Martin DR for 25 years and the Zager has a deeper and richer tone and, because of the fret/string distance, is easier to play. Great action & the included Aura electronic package is fabulous. Service and communication with Dennis & his staff has been incredibly impressive. Highly recommended! Show details
My Zager ZAD900CE Aura is without question the best guitar I have owned – I researched Zager guitars for about two months before buying my 900CE. The reasons I bought a Zager are there exceptional customer service, their return policy, and the number of very positive reviews I found on the internet and on Youtube.com. When I opened the package and first saw the guitar in person I was astounded by the looks, it is a real… Read more
work of art, and by it's sound. I also found it's playability to be all that was stated and since I'm at the age when arthritis strikes hands I am able to play longer and better due to the way the guitar is manufactured.
Blown away!! – I have played some of the highest quality guitars available in the last 20 years, but after receiving my ZAD900E today, I can honestly say that I have never found one better than this! In my opinion, it’s quality and sound are a blend of the Martin D45 and the Taylor 914ce, but at a much better price! I plan on buying all 3 of my sons Zager guitars as they get older. Quality from the get go! Show details
Just the facts, m'am! – I've owned Guild, Gibson and still own Yamaha and Martin guitars. All nice instruments. I've been mostly a percussionist for many decades but all throughout I've dabbled with keyboard and guitar. I slowly drifted away from the others to the guitar as my favorite instrument. Got my Zager 9000MCE in 2020 and immediately was delighted. I prefer it to… Read more
my other guitars. It's easy to play, sounds terrific, nice size, good electronics. I've let a bunch of friends try it out and they all were drooling for one. I had one little problem just come up this a.m. and contacted Dennis Jr. My tuner and pre-amp seemed dead. He suggested using 9volts that were longer bodied but it gave me the idea to check how far down the battery was seating. I shoved a little harder and it "clicked" into place all the way...voila'...fixed! Love this guitar.
The Sweetest Sound – This is an Awesome Guitar. I'm so fortunate to have found it. I've been a long time waiting to find the sound, playability, and remarkable beauty of this instrument. It is gorgeous, and I find myself daydreaming, at the office, about getting home at night, and taking out of it's case and seeing where I go. This Beauty is the best purchase that… Read more
I have ever made. The service and quick response from Dennis Jr. is astounding as well. I bought my granddaughter a Zager Parlor Guitar, and it developed some buzzing. I emailed Dennis Jr. at 7:00 in the morning and within 15 minutes I had a reply with a link that walked me through the possible fixes. New strings,(Dennis Sr.'s re-stringing video is the best) and a couple of turns on the truss nut and we were good to go. Turned me into a real guitar hero in the eyes of my 12 year old Granddaughter. Thanks Denny Zagers, Jr. & Sr.

Love this ZAD-900-E Zager it's not a Zad80CE – 5/8/2020 This is a beautiful guitar Rosewood sides and back flawless with maple binding all around It's deep and rich sound compares with my old D-28 martin but plays much easier , It is now my 1st go to guitar !
Best guitar EVER! – I have owned and played some fabulous guitars, including a Gibson J-45, Martin D-28 and Martin D-35. BUT, the new Zager ZAD900E is by far the best guitar EVER. It has a deep, rich tone that literally sings when you play it. The Zager claim that their guitars are "easy play" is no hype. It's true! The width and shape of the neck is like nothing… Read more
I've ever experienced. The full box of the ZAD900E dreadnought resonates better than the much higher priced guitars on the market today.
The best acoustic-electric guitar I've ever owned! – I have been in the market for an upscale acoustic-electric guitar for quite a while. I was going to choose either a Martin or a Taylor, but before I made a decision, I decided to check out the Zager guitars. Am I glad I did! I read the reviews and considered the Zager lifetime guarantee, which helped me decide to get the Zager ZAD900. When I… Read more
received it, I was blown away by its beauty, craftsmanship, and its amazing sound, so pure and pristine. And the customer service is second to none. Denny promptly responded to my questions and e-mails, which made my decision to buy a Zager easy. I am so glad I chose Zager, and I look forward to many years of playing and enjoying this guitar!

Zager 900E – I ordered the Zager 900 E limited production guitar after shopping guitars at stores and and viewing reviews online. I ordered the 900E in late March during the initial days of Corona Virus Pandemic. The Zager Team kept me informed of the status of my order throughout the process. When I received the guitar I was not disappointed. The sound, craftsmanship and detail are all brilliant. The money back guarantee made it an easy decision to buy.
Best of the best – Over the last 6 mo I have been looking for a guitar that would be easy to play but also be of such quality I could use it as an heirloom years from now. The ZAD 900 is all that and more. The workmanship is exceptional and sound is great, only to get better with age. It was worth the wait and search. Thank you Jim Show details
ZAD900E Beautiful guitar – I ordered this between Christmas and new year’s and had it shipped to Florida. I didn’t expect it to arrive until the middle of January. It was delivered on the 3rd. It’s an awesome sounding amazing looking guitar. Denny Jr Responded to my emails promptly.
This is a 900ce aura review! – This is the BEST guitar I have ever played in my life! (I'm 47....not an old dog, I'm kind of in the middle of the pack...LOL). Aesthetically? GORGEOUS! And it plays just as good as it looks.
The ZAD80CE is wonderful, the ZAD900CE is even more special! – I have owned the ZAD80CE for 7 years now, and I truly love it. When I first bought it, I took it to a guitar store and played it head to head with a $2,750 Taylor. While they both sounded great, the ZAD80CE was easier to play and I felt the Zager had a little something extra in its sound. I have now purchased the ZAD900CE AURA, and I couldnt be… Read more
happier. It is such a beautiful and well made guitar. The sound is bigger and brighter than the ZAD80CE, which is really saying something. The Fishman AURA system really brings out the beautiful tones of the guitar when you plug it in to an amp. I highly recommend buying either one of these excellent guitars!
Love this guitar! Handmade w/excellence – Hi Denny, The ZAD900CE Aura is a piece of art. I've had it for just over a year & have had only one issue. An issue which you resolved immediately upon my email request. Thank you SO MUCH for your prompt attention to my "action, fret buzz" issues along with the complimentary hole plug & string set. I was convinced it was going to take, at… Read more
least some fret filing to fix. I was amazed when the "wet towel in a large baggie" video solved my year long ordeal! The top is now correctly "arched" and I finally have the action set low... to my liking & the fret buzz is gone.
I can finally honestly say "I love my Zager 900ce Aura"In every way.
This has been a HUGE PROBLEM for me... I only wish I had contacted you about it sooner!
Thanks again bro! Sincerely & Agape to you and yours...

Remarkable Piece of Art – I will match the workmanship and tone of this guitar against my Martin D-45 any day of the week. It's easier to finger to produce a true sound. Fantastic guitar!!! Show details
Humidity Issue Resolved – I am most impressed with my new Zager guitar. It is easier to play and sounds better than any acoustic electric I have ever owned. The Aura Library is great. Show details · 1

As that statement would suggest, I’ve owned some beauties. Having had my gorgeous Zager for three years now, I can say this is one of the finest guitars I’ve ever owned. It plays like a dream, sounds wonderful, and it looks fantastic. Its fit and finish are superb. I get lots of compliments on it. I like the guitar so much that I bought another Zager guitar for my daughter, who is a professional writer and performer. Zager guitars are top of the line.
