Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
The day before I received this, I went to the local music store and played a $2,000+ Martin which I loved. This instrument was comparable, and perhaps had even a slightly better action feel. Quite amazing, given the reasonable price, though this may be due to the fact that the middle-man is cut out and it is a buy-direct operation. I had read many reviews about the action and was pleased to see for myself how accurate those reviews were. UPS cross-country in 1 week. Well packaged.
Reliability/Durability : 10
New guitar, but I give it the high rating due to the lifetime backing by the family owned business. After purchasing a Takamine last year, just 2 months later, the store did not want to know me when I came in about some questions regarding the neck and set up. I feel comfortable with the make of the guitar; it appears built to last.
I am very comfortable with the guarantee...the backing deserves a 10.
Customer Support : 10
Perhaps the finest customer service I have experienced in any field of business, including such places known for great customer service like LL Bean.
As many others have already written, I also prefer to buy "hands on" and not online, and because of that nervousness, I called many times, and e-mailed as often. I never wore out their patience and they were more than happy to answer every question I had.
Overall Rating : 10
I have been playing since I was a teen, almost 30 years ago, and have owned a few nice guitars (Takamine/Ovation) in those years. I am sold on the Zager. I think it probably is best described as a really nice Martin clone ----it sounds quite comparable to the more expensive ($2,000 and up) Martins and the action/comfort is first rate. When I practice, I like to concentrate and get into a serious concentrating mode and being able to practice for several hours straight without sore fingers is of great benefit. Since I cannot afford to spend $2500 for a Martin that I really love, this is a great substitute. I absolutely will buy another if lost or stolen. I will buy another for my daughter and if my wife wants to play, I will get her a Zager guitar as well. I am sold on the loyalty of the family owned business.
