Zager ZAD 50 Review by Jeff

Features : 10
You can read the features from the many other reviews posted about the ZAD50. This one has a natural finish on the solid spruce top. Other than that they are all constructed the same. This guitar has no frills, its set up to play. I bought it as a gift for a friend. The case was extra. Both the guitar and the case were blems or 2nds, but I couldn't find anything wrong with either.
Sound : 10
I own an all koa Taylor and a spruce with rosewood back and sides Tacoma and this guitar has its own sweet tone. Its set up with extra light stings so you can't expect it to have a deep or strong sound, but if thats what you want you can amplify it. The sound is crisp and very warm.
Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
The guitar came set up by Denny Zager himself, and every thing fit very well and didn't have any problems anywhere. I purchased a 2nd or blem guitar and I couldn't see anything wrong with it other than there were some miner things in the grain of the spruce top which I think added character to the guitar.
Reliability/Durability : No Opinion
I just bought the guitar for christmas for my friend so I can't answer that question as its brand new. It does seem to be built just fine by me.

Zager Guitars is one of the things that sold me the most about this guitar. I had never played one previously and was uncomfortable about buying it until I learned of there money back guarantee that included shipping back. It gave me the confidence to buy and I wasn't dissapointed. They were very helpful about giving me any information I requested. They are a small family owned business that takes pride in what they do and seem to understand the importance of service and friendliness. It was a real pleasure doing buisness with them.
Overall Rating : 10
I have been playing about 30 years but only play when I have the time or get motivated. I play in church for praise and worship and just in my own home. I own a Taylor and a Tacoma guitar and this guitar plays easier than either of them. All three have their own tone but the Zager has a very pleasent sound. I bought this guitar for a friend and I will be recomending it to others. I think for the money I couldn't buy anything else new that compares for less than a Grand, probably more. I love my Taylor and my Tacoma and I could never sell either one of them but this guitar has features that they don't and that's the easy play feature. You can play this guitar much longer without fatigue or blood and thats what I love about this guitar.
