"Outstanding Guitar"
I was thrilled to get my hands on the ZAD 80 CE Aura. What a stunning piece! Once I plugged it in and started playing, I was amazed by the sound, craftsmanship, and overall beauty of this guitar. Can't wait for all the years of learning and fun ahead. Big thanks to Zager!

"Stunning Instrument"
Had a fantastic experience! The guitar exceeded my expectations, especially after seeing some not-so-great reviews. This beauty sounds like a much pricier model. Couldn't be happier with my purchase!

"Awesome guitar and fantastic folks!"
I ain't really a pro at playing guitar, but I've been strumming since my high school days. Now that I'm 68 and enjoying retirement, I thought I'd give it another shot. So, last spring, I got myself a Zager Easy Play guitar. I never thought having a solid instrument would bring me so much joy whenever I felt like playing. While owning a great guitar doesn't automatically make you a top-notch player, it definitely adds to the fun! The team at Zager has been super helpful, and their constant support keeps me motivated to learn new things.

"My Experience with the Zager 900 E Non-Cutaway"
This guitar is hands down the finest I've ever had the pleasure of playing. It's just so much easier to handle in every aspect. If you doubt me, just consider this: I've only been playing for five years with minimal guidance. Recently, I began taking lessons from a guy who's been at it for 58 years—yeah, you heard that right, 58 years! He's the best guitarist I've ever listened to. I let him try out my Zager 900 E, and he mentioned he's played on Taylors, Martins, Gibsons, and other top-tier guitars. But he claimed my Zager outshines them all! He pointed out that the playability, sound, action, and pretty much everything else is way better than the guitars he's used. So, if you think a newbie like me is just talking, you can trust the opinion of a seasoned pro with nearly six decades of experience.

"Incredible guitar worth every penny"
I just got my ZAD80 and all I can say is WOW! What a stunning instrument, smooth and super easy to play, and the sound is out of this world. You ain't getting this guitar back unless you wrest it from my cold dead hands! Right now, I own a Taylor 810 CE (2006), an Alvarez Yairi DY-45 (1976), and I've had a bunch of other high-end guitars over the years. This one truly stands alone. Lincoln Nebraska? Yeah, right, this guitar was crafted in HEAVEN!

Please let Dennis and Dennis Jr. know how much I value the quality of this guitar and especially the amazing team they've put together. You folks are the best!

Thanks again for everything!

"Zad900ce Review"
I've been using my zad900ce since January 2017, and I can confidently say I made a solid choice. Working in a studio, this guitar is my go-to for acoustic sessions. I've got a few others that are quite nice, but the 900ce really shines in every situation. It’s never gone out of tune in a way that I couldn't fix on my own. The sound is fantastic whether it's mic'd or plugged in directly, though I do prefer the mic'd option. After almost six years, I’ve got no complaints. I’ll check back in another four years to update!

"Exemplary Customer Service Experience"
Hey folks, if you haven't given a Zager guitar a shot, I highly recommend you do. They're truly great instruments. I'm from Australia, and while the guitar didn't quite fit my needs, the company was super accommodating and handled my full refund and the return process like pros. Big thanks to Dennis Zager Jr. for showing what top-notch customer service really means.

"Great Deal on an Electric Parlor Guitar"
I picked up a Parlor E model as a cozy choice for jamming at home and writing tunes. For what I paid, this guitar is just amazing—I've got a similar size from another brand, but the Zager really has a richer, deeper tone. Sure, it’s a parlor guitar, so I’m not thinking it’ll match my full-size acoustics, but it plays like a dream (arrived perfectly set up) and looks stunning with that glossy mahogany finish. The case that comes with it has a hygrometer to monitor the guitar's condition, and even though the extras haven’t shown up yet, there were quite a few goodies included with my order. The guitar was delivered well-protected and on time. And with free return shipping—who else does that?!—I totally recommend giving Zager a shot next time you’re in the market for an acoustic. I’m also hoping to snag a bigger one later, maybe the OM size with a cedar top.

"An Artistic Masterpiece!"
Yesterday, my Zager ZAD50CE African Mahogany Full Size Acoustic Electric guitar arrived, and let me tell ya, it’s a stunning piece! As someone who owns Martin, Guild, and Taylor guitars, I can’t wait to dive into the joy this new member of my guitar family will bring. Big shoutout to the Zager team for not just getting my gorgeous new guitar to me on time, but also for their speedy and friendly replies to my inquiries.

"Zager Zad80ceOM Review"
Wow, my life just took a turn! The Zager Zad80ceOM showed up today, and let me tell ya, I used to be all about Gibsons. After 63 years of strumming various guitars, none have wowed me like this beauty. When I plugged it into my Fender Mustang Amp, it had that acoustic vibe but cranked up. And when it's unplugged? Pure bliss! The action on this thing is even better than the best Strat I've ever tried, and that’s saying something! I shot them an email with a question and got a reply in just 10 minutes. Can't really comment on the return process since I'm planning to hold onto this guitar for good. Both the product and the customer service are top-tier. The hassle-free payment plan took just 10 minutes too. Just to be clear, I’m not getting paid for this review; I’m genuinely blown away by Zager.

"ZAD 80 Review"
Fantastic support from the team! I bought this guitar without seeing it first. It just got here and I’m blown away—totally exceeded what I thought it would be. The craftsmanship is incredible, it’s stunning to look at, and it has a gorgeous sound.

"Awesome guitar and top-notch support!"
I got my hands on the ZAD80 Acoustic guitar. It plays wonderfully, though I had a minor issue with one of the strings. After reaching out to Zager Guitar and swapping out the strings, the issue didn’t go away. They quickly offered to send me a replacement guitar, which I accepted. The new one arrived in just a day, almost before I could finish confirming the swap. This new guitar is stunning, and it plays and sounds fantastic. Their customer service is superb and super quick to respond. If you're thinking about getting one of their guitars, go for it—they really back their products.

"Zager 900 OM & 900 Review"
I recently picked up the Zager 900 OM and I’m really enjoying it. The craftsmanship is top-notch. It plays beautifully and has an amazing sound. I was so impressed that I ended up getting the 900 too. Both of these guitars are a steal for what I paid. My Taylor 810 is feeling a bit jealous with these new contenders. Big thanks for making such awesome instruments for us guitar enthusiasts.

How do i find the year my guitar was made?

Can I use linseed oil in ZAGER fret board?

Is Zager Guitars a scam or a legit company?

“I have purchased (2) guitars from them and they are both excellent guitars. Customer service is next to none. Ignore the haters, this is a legit company based out of Lincoln Nebraska.”

“I received my guitar in a month as they caught up on previous orders, as they came out of covid shutdown. I enjoy the guitar very much. Appearance, Sound, Playability. And their customer service was responsive and good (expect to hear by email in a day or two for email or chat or immediately by phone during business hours.”

“Legit. They came thru with everything they promised. Their supply delays, due to Covid, delayed the production of the guitars so had to wait a couple months.”

I'm reading that Zagar Guitars are made in Indonesia. Is this true?

“I can't write much now but I too believe they are made in Indonesia from my own research. I am curious about the previous caller named Gibson player and I would like to know what was the address of that so-called shop He's went to their address online does not take you to any type of guitar business or any building.”

“Rumors nowadays will be the death of all great, true, reputable people places and things if we don't stay aware and stand up to true facts. That's why I love this company. You can feel it from the depths of your soul. How honest and sincere these people are. ”

“Zager guitars are 100% made in the USA as I watched Mr. Zager build mine at his shop in Nebraska, it took almost 3 months. They have an "EZ-Play" line of childrens guitars they donate to public schools which are made in Indonesia. https://lps.org/post/detail.cfm?id=14385 If it says Zager on the headstock it's USA. If it says "Easy Play" on the headstock in Indonesian. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_5a1gIbA62w ”

Why is there delivery so slow

Gibsonplayer
July 12, 2023

“I had my Zager ZAD900CE custom built and it took 3 months but my ZAD80 was already built and was at my door in 72 hours after purchase. They're a small mom and pop shop with a pretty big following and I think they sometimes have a hard time keeping up with demand but if you look at their models pages they'll show you how many they have available and if it's in stock you'll have it at your door in 3 days or less. https://zagerguitar.com/guitars/zad900ce-sunburst/”
