Consistently rated in the top 5% of acoustics in national and international publications competing with guitars 2 and 3 times its price, yet costs 50% less since you’re buying direct from the builder.  If you enjoy the deep rich bass that’s common in rosewood guitars, a solid cedar top takes it to the next level providing a very mellow, sweet response.  Combined with legendary Zager playability and you have a guitar that will go head to head with any acoustic on the market today…regardless of price.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"zad80ce","title":"ZAD80CE Solid Cedar\/Rosewood Acoustic Electric Pro Series","description":"\u003cp\u003e60 years of playing, performing and teaching guitar has given Denny an advantage over the majority of guitar builders today.
