Zager ZAD-50CE Reviews

Features:

The ZAD-50CE is loaded with features that are usually associated with much more expensive guitars from the solid spruce top to the mahogany sides and back. It is a full size dreadnought with a cutaway. It has an onboard tuner and equalizer but this guitar rarely gets out of tune. It has a rosewood bridge and fret board as well as sealed Grover tuning gears. The finish was outstanding and it is a beautiful instrument.

Action, Fit, & Finish:

When I received the guitar, it was in tune. I could not detect any flaws in the finish or anything else of the guitar. The gloss finish is just beautiful.

Sound Quality:

I have compared the sound of Zager Guitar with Taylor's that cost into the thousands of dollars and can truthfully say that the Zager sounds just as good or better. My brother-in-law who owns a high end Martin is considering the purchase of a Zager because of it's superior crisp sound. I had my wife listen to the Zager and my other guitar and she said that the difference in sound was quite noticeable.

Reliability/Durability:

The Zager appears to be very solid and I would not hesitate to use this at a gig without a backup. It appears to be extremely durable but I have not had it long enough to be sure but I have played it for two or three hours almost daily and have yet to see any wear. I believe it will last as long as me. I do wish that Zager would have put the top strap button on where they recommend rather than me having to take it to someone to do this. I gave this a 9 only because of the strap button issue.

Customer Support:

This guitar has a lifetime warranty and Zager even pays the shipping both ways. They will give you your money back or replace/repair your guitar with no questions asked. They have answered all of my emails within hours and been extremely courteous. You cannot get a better warranty than what they give.

Overall Rating:

I have been playing for a couple of years but have owned the Zager since April and this is now the only guitar that I use. If I lost this guitar , I would not hesitate to buy another one. I have compared it with Taylors and Martins and truly believe that it sounds as good, if not better.
