Zager ZAD-50 OM

Solid spruce top
Laminate body
20 frets
Orchestra Sized

Guitar sounds excellent!!! I replaced the original Strings with Martin Marquis and the guitar sounds even better.

The only reason I rate this a 7 here is the finish. The neck sides and back look awesome but the finish on the top is just ok.It is not saned as smooth as I would have liked it, but it was no worse than what was in the local shops at this price point and significantly higher. I may be overly critical here but I work wood so I know it can be better. The fit and the action are great. Several of my friends who are much more experienced than I am agreed.

Hard to tell as I have not had it long...but I think it will hold up fine

Hands down the best customer service in the world. This is a no brainer folks.....if ya do not like it send it back PERIOD. The answer every question quickly and completely. Wish everyone I did business with treated me this way.

Again my only real ding here is the finish on the top. I have seen this guitar maker take a lot of grief in the forums here and I just do not understand it. THe action is great...the sound is great and the setup was terrific. Almost makes me wonder how many of these folks have actually laid hands on one.

zager (custom martin) acoustic orchestra model
20 frets
mini-jumbo body, thin customized neck with wide nut

great sound, less volume good for my needs

came perfectly tuned, no problems with anything

we have a martin goya for over 40 years, hope this one lasts as long
looks and feels solid.

company extremely helpful. originally ordered dreadnaught and exchanged for orchestra model. no questions asked. picked up the exchange and no shipping charges either way. lifetime warranty as long as I own the guitar.

this OM model perfect for me. modified strings makes it easier for me with damaged wrist. excellent size wise. would replace if damaged. other guitars didnt match the no questions asked, money back guarantee if not happy after 60 days, and I excercised that option once already for the smaller model.

Solid spruce top -- laminate body

Very load -- well balanced using fresh Darco 80/20 strings

Denny Zager string science set-up -- It should be a law that all dealers have their set up at least 75% as good as this!

Well built should last a life time.

Very nice staff!

I am a professional luthier, I bought this guitar to see if the set up was truly at a high level of playability --- it is! This guitar would be a wise investment for the new player, the learning curve would accelerate rapidly mainly due to the fact that the student could pratice longer and more often with less hand fatigue. Plus it sounds very good.

I started playing the guitar in the 60's and have owned many guitars over the years to include some high dollar models that I
still have. I must say that the ZAD-50 has the best action of any guitar that I have played. Very slim neck with a custom Nut and
Saddle. The strings seem to ride very close to the fretboard with
no Buzz. It has a solid Spruce Top with Mahogany back and sides
which account for the great sound even in this smaller OM Model. A
very comfortable and playable guitar

Great for picking or finger style with a rich,full tone

Out of the box the guitar is set-up perfectly with a very low action
and no buzzing

Haven't had it long enough to give an opinion on durabilty but it seem pretty solid.

Had many contacts with them prior to purchase. They were very helpful and friendly. Lifetime warranty included

I Have been playing for over 30 years. I would buy this guitar again.
The thing I like most is the playability and action. Honestly it sounds as good as my Taylor.
