My baby, a Zager ZAG-80 arived one week after ordering, and what a joy! I've been playing guitars for about 50 years and picked up my 2 current old friends in Brazil 40 years ago: A DelVecchio classical for which I
built a new neck when It fretted out badly, and a Giannini 12 string,
beautiful Brazilian Rosewood. Both hard to Barre and since taking on a new guitar course I'm finally getting around to using the rest of the neck. I think I just gave myself the best boost I could in advancing
my technique by purchasing your guitar. Gave it a try out of the case
and it was instant bonding! It was as gorgeous as everyone else
described on your website. The rosewood 3 piece back and solid cedar top were perfectly finished. I've pulled down Taylors and Martins from the display in the stores just to see what a $3,000 guitar sounds and looks like, and as much as I drooled over these, I'm convinced this Zager is every bit as rich-sounding and well put-together as any I've seen.
Gonna have to re-learn to play the guitar without the "death grip" I've always used!
I bought an instrument which was discounted due to a "flaw" in the
cedar top, which is apparently a little spot of heartwood, darker than
the rest of the top. Just a beautiful little birthmark, marking it as
my unique guitar. The Polaroid that was tucked in my guitar strings
showing Dennis tuning it proved that he indeed did have my marked
guitar in his hands! Nice touch!
I'm totally impressed with your customer-centered approach to selling.
Better make lots more of these things, because the word is getting out!

Based on the condition as new, and after playing it for a few months, I believe it will last a long time. the hardware is excellent. Finish does not appear to be thin. I believe I can depend on the instrument.

The customer service to date has been excellent. The warranty is lifetime, and they offer a 100% money back guarantee. I have had a few questions and they respond in a very timely manner. Zager Guitar is a family owned business since 1969 and I think their success is built on quality and service.

I have been playing for a few months and have owned other guitars. If it were lost or stolen, I would buy another Zager. After shopping around, I believe it can't be matched for price, quality, and features. Favorite feature is the electronic tuner and the ease of changing strings. I compared the Zager to Martin and Taylor. For the quality, features, and price, I chose the Zager. You can find other guitars that are of higher quality but you will pay considerably more for them.
