How did you hear about this brand?
I first came across one on eBay when looking at Martins, and discovered the Zager Guitars. I went to the website and began reading and watching all of the videos. I was so amazed by what I was hearing, and seeing, that I began sharing with others almost on a daily basis, and referring many people to the website.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
I have told my family, friends, and new aquaintances, that it is by far the best sounding and easiest to play guitar I have ever owned or played! I went to guitar center, and went in to the room where the higher priced guitars are, Gibson, & Martin, and played many guitars side by side in a 2 hr. session of comparisons. It was only when I played it against a $3,100 Martin that I feel I found it's equal in sound, but not 100% equal in playability. I realize that to each player it is subjective, but this is my strong opinion, and I put the time in in my comparison.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
What's not to love! Everything about it is my favorite! I will begin with the playability. One of the guitars I own is a Fender Newporter Vintage Acoustic with the Strat Style Neck. These are a little easier to play than your average Acoustic guitar, and I have had people play it who would agree. But, every time I let someone play it, and then play the Zager ZAD80CE, their reaction is exactly the same as mine...WOW!!!! They don't want to hand the guitar back. They say they have never played something so incredibly easy to play, and they say it makes their playing sound so much better. Easier Chord changing, and easier picking, less fatigue on our fingers and so much more enjoyable to play. When I saw the incredible workmanship of this "Made in the U.S.A! Masterpiece" I want to just keep going over and over it with my friends and children who play also, studying and critiquing the guitar, and continue to impress myself over and over again, and all at the amazingly low price that you can own this guitar & very nice case with temp & humidity Gauge. The Sounds that this guitar makes weather unplugged or Amped through my Acoustic AG30 & Behringer Ultracoustic ACX450 Acoustic Guitar Amplifier, is nothing short of amazing!!!

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I would assume it was at least a $2,000 - $2,500 Guitar & Case.

How would you rate customer support?
Customer support is Amazing! I wrote an email after midnight, probably 3am Nebraska time, and logged into my email in the morning to find a very pleasurable response. I continued to have a dialogue through email back and forth a few times with almost immediate responses. Extremely professional, thoughtful, informative & helpful! Best in Support!

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
I have given this guitar to my daughter, and am currently saving to buy the ZAD900CE in the coming months. I still get to play it, but only when she's not using it :-) I put the Fender Newporter up for sale because I just can't play it anymore after hearing such a difference, and also becoming frustrated with it's playability compared to my Zager ZAD80CE! I will never buy another Acoustic Guitar other than a Zager. I can guarantee that if you buy one and play it for only a Day, you will be sold on it for life, whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or Pro! Nothing for the money compares, and you would spend double to triple to even begin to find anything that even comes close. The Neck on this guitar is amazing! Great Science, Great Research and Development! Mr. Zager Really put in the time developing such fine Guitars! Kudos to the family & the Company as a whole! I can only imagine how the ZAD900CE is going to make my experience even more wonderful!!! :-)

Additional comments:
I just can't seem to say enough good things about this very fine instrument, and the wonderful people who made it possible! I am looking forward to spreading the news to as many people as I possibly can! Thank you Zager Guitars & the Zager Family!
