After many months of researching and trying to decide on the right Zager guitar for me I settled on a ZAD50CE Mahogany. I had seen the ads for Zager and what drew me to them was the easy play feature. I have had an Epiphone for forty years but would stop as soon as I started because it hurt my fingers due to an injury I had. My guitar arrived the other day and was even better than I expected. It is a truly beautiful guitar and the workmanship Denny and his crew put into making it is evident. The details are incredible. What a great company and family to deal with.

I purchased the 2026 ZAD900CE natural finish and it was just delivered to my Texas home today (Aug. 3rd, 2026). After close inspection I found it to be beautifully crafted and absolutely gorgeous. The first thing I noticed is the guitar nested perfectly into the case protecting it from any kind of gorillas that it might encounter during transport. The top wood was exquisite and flawlessly finished. The purfling and mother of pearl inlay is just right, eye catching but not gaudy. Same for the Rosewood back and sides. Also, very nice touch on the gold Grover Tuners. I couldn’t wait to tune it and play for a few minutes before checking things further. I hate to use this term but "I was blown away" by the rich tones, projection and overall quality of the sound. The fret board is also immediately notable at how much easier it is to play and hit notes. I hate to say it but I think my Martin, Yamaha and Takamine guitars are going to be gathering dust or sold. Lastly, I hooked it up to my amp to check out the Aura Pro onboard electronics. I set my amp up to emulate a 12 string and I was grinning like crazy. To be truthful, I was hesitant to put money out for a custom guitar but your claim that people with arthritis would benefit pushed me to give it a try. Bottom line is that I could not be happier with the purchase so far. I think it will likely extend my ability to play far into the future without the pain I was starting to experiencing with my other guitars. That said, I believe that Mr. Zager’s has designed and built a superior product to his competitors and I can see now how his business model must frustrate the corporate biggies. I paid ~$2,100.00 for the ZAD900CE with all the extras (case, picks, capo, tuner, leather stape, 3 sets Zager custom strings and lifetime access to the website lessons and topics). I feel they could charge twice that (or more) and I would still feel that I got my money’s-worth. I’m going to have fun putting my guitar up against the high-dollar hand-made $5k - $9K guitars (you know the ones) and watch their faces. Anyway, I think Mr. Zager is a guitar genius and I wish him all the best. I love the buy straight from the factory business model; it’s a win-win. And thirdly during extensive research, I read you have separate “Easy Play” brand (Not the USA Zager Custom brand) that you have made for yourself so that you can give away a million bucks worth of good playing guitars to schools and less fortunate. I admire that so much and it says volumes about your work ethic and generosity. Actions like that brings great happiness and will actually change certain people’s lives for the better. Please keep up the quality business model and encourage your family to never change it and thank you for a great value and product.

The easiest and consequently the best sounding acoustic guitar I’ve ever played … the combination of low action and the extra string spacing makes a 4 fingered c a certainty …., rather than a hope!!!!! An affinity is felt as being from Lincoln England…. I could not resist a guitar from Lincoln Nebraska…… so glad I did …. My main stage guitar…. Would love a dark burst cutaway to add to the stable ….. A lasting note …. Other manufacturers and vendors could learn a thing or two from Zager … after my initial contact, Denny has contacted me several times to see how I’m getting on with the guitar…etc ….. unheard of elsewhere…. Much love Cap’n Rasty Band is Cap’n Rasty’s skiffle city rockers… Yella belly Punk skiffle style from the bomber county.

Just received my 900CEOMVS and I’m thrilled to have it. Zager talks about the play and sound and it’s nothing short of that. The beauty and workmanship is top notch. Their team has your back, the quality is amazing. I have others guitars (Martin/Taylor) and yes they are good, but I’m telling you this is the best! If you’re looking for an acoustic start w/Zager - You will not regret it!

The Zager guitar I received is a beautiful instrument. It plays great and sounds amazing. The company was awesome from start to finish.

I purchased a Zager parlor recently during the scratch and dent sale. The repair was so expertly done i couldn't see any sign of it even knowing where it was. the finish is flawless and the sound is unbelievable. it plays significantly better than any other acoustic guitar, and also many electrics that I've tried over nearly 25 years of playing. everything from the setup to the fret finishing and even their made in-house strings it comes equipped with is perfect. Combined with their customer service and support as well as the value for your money, I could not recommend Zager guitars more.

At the end of last year 2025 I purchased a ZAD 900 CE but when I got it, I had a problem with the pick up so I sent the guitar back and they didn't bother to just change the pick up out instead they sent me a brand new guitar which I've had since then and to tell you if your thinking about buying yourself a great Acoustic I would definitely recommend that you try a Zager right along side a Martin, Taylor of Gibson. I have played or owned them all , and of them All I recommend the ZAD 900 CE as the best playing best sounding of all I have ever played. Hands down. I absolutely love mine.
