Zager ZAD 50 Review

History: I guess you could say I'm new a guitar playing. I used to play 27 years ago but fell away from it so I'm learning all over again. I play for my own personal pleasure. I prefer pop, western or easy listening music. I own a Takamine and a Zager guitar.

Purchase: I found Zager Guitars on the internet some time ago. I had purchased a Takamine G240 3 years ago but always had trouble with close chords and sore fingers. I did some modification to it to make it easier to fret but still had trouble. I thought about the Zager for some time b4 I got serious about ordering one. I read dozens of reviews and was really excited about trying one. I originally orders a Martin Sigma DM-1 (due to finances) but wanted a ZAD 50. After a few emails and a couple of conversations with Denny Jr. he offered me a blemished ZAD 50 for the same price as the DM-1. I jumped on that offer and haven't looked back. I ordered it on a Wed afternoon and had it Friday morning. Now if there is a blemish on this guitar I sure can't find it. I am more than pleased.

Pros: The guitar was just beautiful. Quality workmanship throughout. Denny Zager is a first rate luthier. His Easy Play String Science should be adopted by all guitar manufactures. It is unbelieveable. It comes with hand filed frets, hand made nut and saddle, abalone inlays, grover tuners. I have only compared it thus far to my Takamine and 2 30 year old Ovation Legends and it sounds better than both. I only paid $345 for my Zager and I would stack it up against any guitar costing 3-4 times as much for tone quality, ease of playing and workmanship. Get a Zager you won't be sorry!
