Zager EZ-Play Martin Sigma DM-1

Good, albeit light finish, dreanought, enclosed tuners, laminate top, sides, back, but a decent sound, good looking guitar. Light in weight but surprisingly nice. Made in Korea. Came with case and humidifier, certificate of authenticity, picture of Zager, pkg. of extra light D'Arci strings.

Bright sound for fingerpicking, my style. Buzzing on the bass notes when strumming moderately. This does play easily. Not a killer on the fingers. You can see the carved bridge work done by Zager, and the filed frets. My disappointment has been the dead notes which I need for fingerpicking. You figure when you buy a guitar, whatever the cost, all the notes would be there!

Bought this on the Internet - from dealer who bought out Zager "vault". Dealer had many Zagers up for auction which I watched wisk away. Suddenly a Zager Sigma DM-1 was all that was left. I pounched. I did see the "No returns" policy. Had I bought with Zager way back when, Zager probably would have taken it back. The frets were "up" on the high E string in the 8th, 9th, 10 frets making rough playing. To top it off, I had two "dead" notes on the high E string 8th and 9th fret. I emailed DZjr asking for advice. No reply. I brought guitar to local 87 year old luthier who laughed at me for buying an "EZ"play. "Any guitar can be made an easy player." He fixed it "Did the best I can". The frets are down, no dead notes but still a bit of buzz when strumming normally. I can live with that. 87 year old luthier said, "Who did you say did the set up? The frets were all filed down sloppily. Bring in your Gibson, I'll make it an easy player." Next time no buying at auction unless "RETURN" policy. When auction dealer described guitar as "10" in sound, I thought he meant it!

Hardware, finish, strap button all look good and sturdy. Seems a bit fragile compared to my Gibson solid wood. Time will tell. Came with a Zager case which is sturdy.

Auction dealer said "No returns". I contacted Zagers website for advice - no response. I actually contacted them way before the purchase with a compliment about such positive feedback. Got a Thank you then, seemed like such decent folk. My repair at local luthier cost $70.

I played seriously as a 15-30 year old. Just started playing again as a 50 year old. Wanted something that would be kind to older hands. I have a Gibson J45 which has great sound, warmth and tone but high action. Before I bought this I went to local dealers and tried out Taylor 210, 414c, Martin DM18. I quickly eliminated the Seagulls and focused on the Taylors and Martins. Browsed online for independent names - never tried a Breedlove or a Zager. Both were contenders. I will never buy online again unless there is a "Return Policy". Probably could have bought this guitar for $250 elsewhere. I made a bad deal.

It had everything I was looking for. Quality construction, solid top, quality materials. I don't need the bells and whistles.

The sounds is extraordinary. I am a singer/voice teacher and this guitar drew me in with it's nice balance of bright and rich, mellow.

It is wonderful instrument for accompanying singers. Just the balance I strive for, and look for as a teacher.

Gorgeous and looks like it was made with pride.

Can't beat the warranty and though I haven't had it long enough to be much use here, it seems tough in all the right places.

I hounded Dennis Zager Jr. several times, and he was so nice and prompt in responding. He was helpful in my decision making and just the kind of business that makes you smile and feel good about promoting.

Thanks Dennis!!

This guitar has absolutely wonderful sound. I have owned Ovation as well as a few "cheap" guitars, but this sounds the best. This guitar has perfect resonance.

The guitar is exactly as stated in the ads. The guitar arrived in perfect condition and was adjusted wonderfully as shipped. This guitar has the easiest frets of any I've played. I can't believe how easy it is to play.

I like this guitar so much, it will probably be played only in small group gatherings, but it extremely well constructed and would probably handle anything. The finish is so pretty I can't bear to let it get scratched. This is a really well made guitar.

My Zager Martin DM-1 has a solid top. Mahogany back and sides. Dreadnought body. Very thin frets with a Rosewood neck. Came with an extra set of Martin strings and a humidity sensor.

This is one of the best sounding guitars I've ever played. It sounds as good as my friends high end Martin. Has a very rich sound. Sounds extremely good when fingerpicking. I love everything about this guitar. Can't say I have any complaints.

Guitar was set up by Dennis Zager. He definitely knows what he's doing. Action is very low. Does not have any buzzing whatsoever. Dennis hand picks the guitars he modifies, and wont modify one if it doesnt meet his standards.

This guitar seems to be built to last. The finish on it is spotless. I believe this guitar would hold up to any style of playing.

Zager Guitars is probably the nicest people you could deal with. How msny other companies let you speak directly with the boss. Call Fender or Ibanez up and ask to speak with the boss. Get the point. You can call Zager Guitars and speak with Dennis Zager himself. All of his guitars have a lifetime warranty. Dont think anyone else offers that.

Been playing for nearly a year. I also own a Jackson flying V. and and Esp. If my Zager were stolen, after I got over my mad spell I would buy another. I love everything about this guitar. The way it looks and sounds and the durability.

After playing my Goya classical guitar for thirty years, I began
to realize that my fingers were getting sore. I also began to notice
rattling, and buzzing because the strings were much higher off the
fretboard than when it was new. I searched, and found Zager Guitars,
I purchased a new DM1 acoustic, and was very pleased to recieve it in
only three days. Much to my surprize, I did not have to string it...
or tune it. I took it from the box, and played it all that evening.
My fingers did not hurt, nor did my ears. It was everything that the
advertisement claimed, "easy to play" "quality sound". I would like
to heartily recommend this guitar to anybody who likes to play without painful fingers. Joe Dorsey

My music style is Simon and Garfunkel, Crosby Stills and Nash, and
all the similar performers who don't have to deafen you with noise.
I use NO amps, because I play for myself, friends and family. The
DM1 has very rich and full sound even when being played by me....I stil consider myself a guitar beginner. I am very please with it, and only wish I had found it sooner.

My DM1 came out of the box like a prize fighter going for a first
round knockout. Not only was it strung, but it was in perfect tune.
I played it for several hours before I even noticed how great it looked. The wood is gorgeous, and the fittings work perfectly.
Just try one on for size, and you will know what I am proclaiming.

As far as reliability goes, lets face it. I have only owned it for
about a month. I will say that it is put together very well, and it
leaves me no doubt that it will last, and look as good or better than
other guitars that I have had. When you speak about reliability, how
does your company respond to you when you buy a guitar? Do they just
put the money in the register and another guitar on the shelf. Have
they ever contacted you and asked if there were any problems, or if
you are happy with it? Denny Zager has done that for me....and I am
pretty sure that if a problem should arise, he will accomodate.
I don't do gigs anymore, I play mostly in private, but I like what I
hear from this guitar.

Still new, and still gorgeously appointed. I can only attest to the
courteous and congenial treatment that I recieve in ordering and in
recieving it. They follow up with their customers.

I have been playing since the mid sixties. I have owned a fender
electric (which must to my dismay I traded in back in the seventies)
on a Goya classical. If it were lost...or stolen, I would cry for
a few days, then call Denny Zager for a replacement. I only wish I
had ordered the case when I bought the guitar. It is somewhat deeper
and therefore mellower in sound than my previous guitar, and as a
result, I cannot fit it in the rather new case I had recently bought
for the last one.

An acoustic guitar that surpasses MANY more expensive instruments

Everything from rock to folk to Celtic to Ragtime sounds great!

Absolutely flawless - perfect set up. The best action of any on the market. I can even play it with my arthritis!

It HAS withstood live playing - not a mark on it.Quality all the way.Great finish - AND a lifetime warranty!

A family owned company, with the goal of providing personalized service to each and every customer.They will take all the time you need with any questions/problems.

I had not been able to play the guitar for many years, due to lymphedema and arthritis.With Zager's EZ play system, I am once again playing, and will of course take lessons from the Zager family.No other guitar on the market is this easy to play.

All wood guitar with all popular features.

Superb sound.

If you always wanted to play the guitar and was stopped because the strings on the guitar were too high and too hard to press, then Zager Guitars has the answer. Zager "String Science" adjust the guitar string hight and stance for easy finering. If playing bar chords stopped your progression, it won't now. It's like power steering.

Will last you a life time and beyond.

Zager Guitars provide excellent customer service. You really feel like you dealing with a friend.

It has been the answered my prayers and enabled me to play guitar better with no frustration. Don't miss it.

Just recieved the Sigma DM-1 from Zagar, very impressive for a cheap guitar, I just needed something to kick around.

Still impressive for the price.

Very nice action, I have purchased guitars that cost hundreds more that have terrible action compared to this.

I won't be taking it out of the house, but if one had a case, I see no reason why it wouldn't hold up. Seems to stay in tune.

I have been playing on and off for nearly 40 years.

It exceeds my expectations and is everything the maker claims.

Very customer-friendly and responsive. Could not have been an easier transaction and the follow-up was great.

I just started taking lessons and had tried two other guitars. This is by far the best-sounding and easiest for me to use. I have large hands and was simply hoping for a bit more space between the strings to make things easier. What I got was a beautiful, brilliant-sounding guitar that is also much easier for me to play.

Not familiar enough to answer all these questions but my guitar looks good feels good and sounds good. Frets as good as any guitar can I believe. I tried a $3,000 Martin once and and I can't tell any difference much but then again I am not such a player that I can put one to a real test for comparison.--The great thing about this guitar is that it frets easier than any I ever tried.--Haven't been so excited since I first tasted bubble gum.

BlueGrass/gospel--Perfect for me. No amps. Sound is great. There is nothing that I don't like about this guitar. I could have saved about $150 buying this guitar at the guitar store without the Zager modifications but I am glad I took a chance and spent the extra money. The Sigma/Martins at the guitar store don't fret like this one. I am somewhat of a beginner and picked up a guitar after about 20 years not fooling with it. If I had this guitar 20 years ago I don't think I would have put it down. I am far from a great guitar player so I can't say what kind of sounds it can make but I will let a pro take a look at it in a couple of weeks and get an opinion on the guitar in general.

Ordered it sight unseen. In perfect tune after 4 days in transit. Guitar was set up as promised when it arrived. Well pleased with my purchase.

Looks and seems to be as well put together as any guitar I have seen bar none. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles like pearl inlay and such but I didn't pay for a lot of cosmetics either.

Great support--Emails answered promply even after the purchase.--The folks at Zager encouraged me to let them know of any problems even to the point of making sure I was totally satisfied.

Played years ago but took it back up recently. Not only would I get another guitar if it were stolen or lost but I am already thinking of getting another one for my grandaughter.

It's a basic, plain guitar, but its a Martin! My next one will have more features.

Excellent sound. I own 7 other guitars, Washburn,Fender, Gibson, Takamine, and the sound from this is much better than any of the others. I play folk, country, gospel. There is nothing about it I don't like. I played a $6500.00 Martin in a music store and this guitar frets and sounds as good as that one did.

Guitar was in excellent condition. No buzzing, EXTREMELY easy to fret. I am 63 years old and am starting to have trouble with arthritis, however, I can play this guitar for hours without any problems or pain. THANK YOU DENNY ZAGER

It's a Martin and modified by Denny Zager. How could it get any better!

No dealings with Martin, but my dealings with Zager have been excellent. Any questions I had have been answered immediately.

I have been playing since college. I own 5 other acoustics and two acoustic/electrics. I purchased the DM 1 because of reviews I had read. I plan on purchasing another Zager modified guitar soon. I love everything about this guitar and would certainly purchase another if it were lost or stolen.

made in 2005. 20 frets. Finish (Satin, transparent Solid-Top?
neck is EZ play, roewqood

sounds great and my style is country
Rich/Full sound? Bright sound?
like the martin very much

the guitar was set-up at the factory in A1 condition
received the guitar in perfect condition,no flaws or dents.

this guitar will withstand live playing The hardware seem like it will last? the finish is good enough to last.I belive you can depend on it.
I Would use it on a gig without a backup?

I have dealt with the company, very helpful/friendly
Life time warrenty.

Been playing on and off for 50 years
If it was stolen yes I would buy another of the same,
love about it, the sound
Because it was a martin.
I;m very well satisfied with this purchase and would do so again,very nice people.

Martin modified by Denny zager ,gloss finish dreadnought.Came with extra set Martin extra light strings, pick and T shirt

I'm a beginer but to me it has a full rich sound.My brother in laws have been playing all thier lives and they say it has a good sound.

Denny Zager modified it with his E-Z play string science and that is true, very easy and no sore fingers. The strings are low which make it so much better

I assume it will be very reliable

This is a class company and helpfull people to deal with.The warranty is excellent, they will even pay shipping back to them if for some reason you are not happy with the guitar. They want the customer to be satisfied, a company who really cares is the Zager Guitar Company. I am so pleased with them I plan on purchaseing another guitar for my son

I played when I was young and just got back playing after 30 years. If it were stolen there is no question I would purchase from Zager Guitar. I have played my brother in laws 2500 dollar, it was nice but I still like my Denny Zager Martin

Guitar was modified by Denny Zager. It is a Martin Sigma guitar.
Acoustic electric guitar with a solid top.

The guitar sounds great without amps. The sound is rich and would be great for Country and Folk.

The guitar was modified by Zager and extremely easy to play.
Action is great!!

There were no flaws.

This is a Martin guitar so I am confident of its durability and reliability. Zager modified the guitar to give it easier playability and it is just great.

Excellent support. Did not get it repaired due to its quality.

Playing for about a year. Started 19 years ago and could not afford a guitar. Now that I can afford a quality guitar I decided to take up playing again. If stolen or lost I would definitely replace it. Maybe even buy two.

I love what Zager has done to the Martin. It's a great modification and I would recommend it to any player.

The guitar is a DM-1 martin Dreadnaught Acustic,w/a rosewood neck, a perfect guitar !

As far as style, it fits perfectly if playing is a style. The tones are great no matter if you're finger pickin or getting country with a pick, it's just a great acoustic.

This is where this guitar really shows it's self. Besides being a Martin, after it leaves the Zager co. it has been transformed into a instrument that cannot be described with words. The action, the fit, the set-up, you must experience it to understand. No more acoustic fingers. The easiest guitar to play, easier than my Alvarez/Yairi or any other I've picked up in my 40+ years of playing. Great for beginners and time worn players like myself.If this guitar were an electric acoustic, I would have no problem putting it right up equal to my 68 Strat as far as the ease of playing and set-up.

It's a Martin

This is another area that cannot be described with mere words. Right from the first contact, the Zagers are the best folks to deal with hands down, even via e-mail....question, problem, record setting response. Warranty is lifetime, and what impressed me was 100% money back if not satisfied on a guitar purchased via internet.I couldn't get that at my local retailer.Should I say more?

Started playing in the 5th grade, however old that is, 50 now. Other "gear" 68 Strat, Alvarez/Yairi 12 string, Yamaha acoustic, tenor banjo, a couple others. Would I buy it again? YES, I already plan to purchase a ZAD.. Zager made elec acoustic, I only choose the Martin because I always wanted a Martin and a Guild and ,and a,and a, but my next purchase will be from the Zager co. Without question. After all you want a guitar that you can play!!!

The Martin Sigma DM-1 has a very full bodied sound, that i have been without from the prior guitars that i have purchased.
I was really impressed how easy the DM-1 was to play, unlike other guitars where i have found that i had to push the strings harder. The DM-1 took all that away, and has made pushing the strings a thing of the past.

The Martin Sigma DM-1 was shipped from Nazareth PA to California, and the moment that i pulled it out of the box it sounded simply awesome,as a matter of fact i have yet to tune the guitar.
This guitar was in great working condition, to which in the area of flaws there aren't any.

I believe this to be an instrument that i will be using for many years, and i can't honestly think of any reason to spend more money on a guitar when the Martin Sigma DM-1 is all i personally really have ever needed.
If i was a professional musician i would bet the pay check for the gig, that this guitar is as dependable as the most expensive guitars out on the market.

I bought the guitar from Zager Guitar, and from the moment that i sent my payment i received multiple emails to ensure that my product was being sent as soon as possible. The guitar actually made it to California in four days, and i was playing that day. I thought the concept of giving a %100 guarantee just a great selling idea, but after playing this guitar i can see where Denny really stands behind the products that he is selling.(As do i now)

I have been playing the guitar for nearly a year and a half, and this is the only instrument that i own. If this guitar was lost or stolen i would be at my computer to order another one as soon as possible.
I really think that i like how easy it is to play, the guitar practically plays itself (if you know the basic chords your on your way). The Martin Sigma DM-1 is a great guitar...

This is a 2005 Martin DM-1 Dreadnaught Acustic, rosewood neck wood, gloss finish. Finish is impeccable. I give it a 9 because there are no features on an accustic like an electric.

This guitar has an awsome sound, thanks partly to the "String Science" of Denny Zager. The guitar has a full sound, and what I like the most is it has that 50's-60's sound, not common in acustics. Volume will fill the room with a deep and strong highs with great low and high balance. Astonishing.

Finish was excellent, tight tuners. Denny zager modified this guitar by lowering the strings and widening the string spacing. No more sore fingers, no more finger fatigue, and no "Buzzing". You have to play it to believe it. I can finally enjoy playing this instrument to its fullest capacity. Neck was straight as an arrow, perfect string tension and precision modified saddle. I am quite impressed.

Everyone knows about the Martin quality, coupled with the Zager mods, you got a killer acustic. All hardware appears to be tight and quite functional, great finish that seems to be quite durable, nice wide strap buttons. No problems using this instument at a gig with-out a backup-it is built to last.

I purchased this DM-1 from Denny Zager. They are a small family run company that takes pride with their superior customer service. 100% warranty for any reason-now BEAT THAT! The Zager EZ-Play String Science modifications are suited for this guitar, or in fact, ANY guitar. If you are looking for a nice Martin, or a nice drednaught, Denny is on e-Bay also. He has his own line of guitars too!, comprable in quality-modified. You gotta get one of these and play it to appreciate the huge difference between an acustic with standard string placement and Denny Zagers "String Science-EZ Play". I say BRAVO!

I have been playing on and off for about 30 years. I own a Jay Turser JT-133 Semi-hollow Electric, a Fender DG-7 (I learned on this type) and a Fender Bass. This is my first Martin, why I waited so long, I dont know? If this guitar were stolen, I would go back to Denny for a new one, then blow up my neighborhood (Just kidding). Again, I love the full sound, the tight hardware, the quality, the Martin name, and Denny Zager's modifications. So easy to play, so easy to enjoy..AND a GREAT PRICE...

i have a gibson and have played martin, taylor, fender, and many others.....the sound of this guitar is comparable and for the price, you can't find a better guitar.

i ordered the guitar over the phone on a tues night and received it on friday of that week.....the set up, fit and finish were as if it were made especially for me......this is an awesome guitar and if i buy another, it will be from Zager.

this guitar could stand by itself in any performance or serve well as a backup.....it is solid and the hardward is the same.....

i had lots of questions since i had never ordered or purchased a guitar unless i physically sat down and played the instrument....they answers all my questions via email and were very responsive.....i also called them as well and got all the info i wanted in a timely manner.....it's hard to beat a lifetime warranty and 100% guarantee.....

this year i turn 50 and i have been playing since i was 9 years old....i grew up in a musical family so loving a guitar came natural. if i lost this guitar i would buy the same guitar....the action is great and modification made to this guitar makes it much easier to play and easy on the fingers....i specifically bought this guitar to give my mom for her birthday--she just turned 75. i have gibson and this guitar sounds better than the gibson....i would recommend anyone purchase a guitar from Zager--if you are not satisfied, you get your money returned and they pay to return it to their company. i am extremely satisfied and will probably buy another guitar in the near future from Zager.....

This guitar has a sound that is unparalleled by any other guitar in the same price range. The tone is rich and full with great sustain. There is no buzz or distortion to in the sound at all. You could easily fill an entire room with sound using this guitar. I recently went to Guitar Center to compare the sound of this guitar to some others...I couldn't find anything that came close, notably a Martin D-35 ($2000) or Martin D-28 (Vintage 1979 - $3000). This guitar sounds great playing any style of music (acoustically)...I have played classic rock, classic/contemporary country, alternative, and punk using this guitar just to name a few.

This guitar was set up by Denny Zager who invented "EZ-Play String Science". The result is a guitar with a very low action, wider string stance, and easy playability. It was perfectly in tune right out of the box. I have been playing it now for a matter of weeks and have not even needed to tweak the tuners...a benefit of the low action. The fit and finish are equally as great. Perfectly bookmatched back and sides with a nice, clear spruce top. All that finshed in a clear high gloss lacquer. Everything is nice and tight, just like it should be...after all, Denny inspects each and every guitar PERSONALLY before it is shipped.

This guitar is definitely built to last a lifetime. First of all, it's a Sigma made by C.F. Martin & Company. The Sigma series is based on the legendary design/quality that has become a hallmark of Martin guitars. As if that doesn't say enough, it's been inspected and hand modified (personally) by master luthier Denny Zager. As a final touch, he puts his name on every one of his guitars (literally -- he signs the back) and offers a 100% Money Back Guarantee as well as a Lifetime Warranty. This is one guitar that you can surely depend on for live playing without a back up.

The company is great to work with...it's just a small family owned and operated business that takes great pride in their products. They strive for customer satisfaction and go to great lengths to achieve that. You get a real good feeling dealing with them because they take a sincere interest in helping the customer, not like a lot of companies that are just trying to turn a quick buck. All their guitars come backed with a Lifetime Warranty, as their site says, "A quality guitar should last a lifetime and if it doesn't, it wasn't a quality guitar to begin with."

I have been playing on and off for a few years, but this guitar is one that I have been playing every day since I received it. I'll admit that I was a bit skeptical at first when I was reading some of the information on the Zager website (http://www.zagerguitar.com)and I thought it seemed to good to be true. However, it is true; everything that their testimonials say is absolutely right. You just can't find a better guitar for the money, and they back that up with their 100% Money Back Guarantee.

Hi Denny, Denny Jr. and all the folks at Zager guitar. I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that I received my new Zager Martin DM - 1 BK guitar two days ago and I can't seem to put it down. As a beginner who has been trying to learn for the past 15 years or so I can't say enough about it. I have always gotten frustrated in the past when I tried to play songs with lots of chord changes. My new Zager Martin EZ play makes those chord changes much easier. I cannot believe how beautiful this guitar looks and sounds. I am confident now that I will practice more and am already sounding better. I will also be signing up for your on line lessons. Thank you for a great guitar, fast shipping and all the extra goodies that you included. I will definitely be purchasing another of your EZ play guitars as soon as possible. Feel free to use any or all of this letter in your testimonials section and use my email address if necessary so anyone who is thinking of buying an EZ play can contact me if they wish. I wish you folks all the best, take care and THANK YOU again.

Sounds Beautiful and easy to play. No buzz at all.

Set up by Denny Zager of Zager and Evans. Zager EZ play is AWESOME! Guitar is beautiful, no flaws. Acoustic, has no pickups.

Comes with a 100% lifetime guarantee, can't beat that anywhere.

100% lifetime warranty. Very friendly when I ordered and shipped the same day.

I have been playing on and off for about 10 yrs. Everything about the guitar was explained in detail on the www.zagerguitar.com website and any questions answered when I called to order. Super fast shipping. I love the EZ play set up done by Mr Zager. I plan to buy another as soon as I can save a little cash. I like it better than my Martin acoustic as far as playability and the sound is nearly as good. I chose it because of the EZ play setup. GREAT GUITAR!!

Made and purchased in 2005. This is a twenty fret dreadnought finished in black lacquer. The back and sides are maple and the top is laminated. The neck is thin with rosewood fingerboard. Denny Zager did an excellent job working this guitar. When he says "easy to play", he's not kidding.

I play a little rhythm and do a little picking. Country and blues mostly. This guitar is a perfect fit for my style. The sound is rich and full with no annoying buzzing or distracting rattle.

Set up by Denny Zager, I could not be happier with the action. Carefully filed frets and carefully worked bridgework. Everything perfect!

Though I have not played as a professional I have seen the level of abuse some amateur guitars have withstood and feel this instrument could easily handle the abuses of civilian life. I can't imagine this guitar needing a back-up, but then can you ever have too many guitars?

You won't ever find a more pleasant purchasing experience. Tony and Denny are very helpful. A down to earth, comfortable, family atmosphere. A very helpful and useful website. I could not be happier with them as a company and feel as though I have made new friends.

I have played for thirty-five years. I have owned Yamahas, Washburns, Ibanez, and Martins. If this guitar were stolen or lost I would have to be hospitalized. The only thing that could bring me back from the near dead would be the knowledge that Denny and Tony could make me another! I love how easy it plays, how carefully the guitar has been worked. Perfect frets, bright clear sound, I wouldn't change a thing!
