ZAD20 Solid Spruce/Mahogany Acoustic Natural - Vault

When you barely have to dent the tips of your fingers to form chords and can move faster on the fret board with no pain it can make a world of difference to the pro player as well as the beginner. Most of our clients come from high level Martin, Taylor, Fender and Gibson. Zager is a small custom guitar shop that builds only a handful of guitars weekly, not a giant factory that churns out thousands of assembly-line guitars. Buying direct from the builder allows you to bypass the retail store saving you 50%, meaning you’re getting a custom hand-built guitar for half the price. Read our 53 years of reviews.

A custom bracing system that gives in the face slightly so you barely have to press form chords, which also gives you more power for a richer deeper sound. A custom neck design that’s taken over 50 years of feedback from artists and players around the world. Custom string spacing so you’re not accidentally leaning on adjacent strings causing buzzes and rattles. A custom soft metal fret design that’s softer on your fingers. Mr. Zager still works on each guitar personally one at a time in our shop, unlike larger companies who produce 500 guitars a day where the owners could never have one on one time with each instrument. These 2 videos explain in greater detail.

Yes. Zager is the only guitar company in the USA that pays shipping both ways meaning you can try a guitar for free for 1 full month and pay nothing.

Because you’re buying direct from the builder bypassing the retail store. When you buy from the store 50% of your money is going to the store and not your guitar. When you buy direct from the builder 100% of your money is going towards your guitar.

We have a lifetime warranty on all of our guitars. If you pass your guitar to your children they’re covered for life as well. Our warranty on our Fishman electronics is 2 years just like $10,000 Martin, Taylor, Fender, Gibson but we’ll cover customers for life on electronics too as long as we have the parts available to fix them. We also replace nuts, saddles, tuners, and other parts free for life. No other guitar company offers this. Almost all of our business comes from friends referring friends and family so it’s very important to us that our customers are happy. This video explains in greater detail If you’re concerned about how we take care of our customers read our customer reviews page.

If you were to see Zager’s in retail stores prices would double.  Many players don’t realize that when you buy a guitar in a retail store, almost half your money is going to the retail store, not your guitar.   Retail stores need to pay for their buildings, salesmen, and all the expenditures that go into operating a retail location.  This is why if you were to see Zager guitars in stores prices would be double.   By buying directly from the builder you get twice the guitar for your money and your guitar goes straight from Mr. Zager’s hands to your hands which ensures perfect quality control.

Mr. Zager sets up each guitar personally before they leave his shop, but Zager guitars are designed from the ground up for greater speed and easier playability with a custom bracing system, neck design, string spacing, and many other things unique to the Zager brand. This video goes into greater detail.

Yes, we use a custom bracing system for each model that actually gives in the face for deeper sound and easier playability, then Mr. Zager adjusts each one to bring out the best in sound for that particular guitar. This is part of what makes our guitars slightly different than assembly-line guitars. We talk about it a little bit in this video.
