If you demand the best this is it. When we have a customer come into the shop with a $5000+ high dollar acoustic who’s looking for that type of quality and sound but with easier playability, the 900 is the only guitar we go to. Unlike our 20 and 50 Series guitars Denny uses a special bracing system on the 900 that allows the face to move half a millimeter more giving more projection and power. When you hit a string on the 900 you feel it resonate through your gut. There’s very few guitars today that can do this, especially new guitars, and when you find one it’s usually the price of a small car. Read more

Zager Pro Series guitars play a little easier and sound a little more powerful than our regular series instruments. The woods are aged longer. The finish is applied thinner so the sound board moves half a millimeter more when the strings are hit providing a deeper bass response. Each piece of abalone and pearl is laid by hand and in combination with grover tuners that “pop” to the eye. Most customers buying our 900 Series are touring artists and veteran musicians coming from high level Martin, Taylor, Santa Cruz and Gibson. Denny did extensive testing in designing the 900 and sent it to veteran players and artists around the world who put it up against the finest guitars made. Pros say the 900 outperforms guitars at twice its price point (sometimes more), but playability is easier and price is less than half since you’re buying direct from our workshop in Lincoln, Nebraska versus retail stores.

Be sure to read artist comments and magazine reviews on the 900 as it consistently rates in the top 5% of acoustics made world wide. 100% money back guarantee including shipping fees both ways. It’s a lifetime instrument so it comes with a lifetime warranty. Truly a work of art with a stunning sound that will get better year after year.

Smaller “OM Size” Orchestra Model. 15% smaller than full size. Similar to Martin OOO and Taylor Grand Auditorium. Narrower hour glass shape sits lower in your lap making it easier to pull in close under your arm. Thinner body provides a slightly thinner sound but doesn’t overpower mics in the recording studio.
Solid wood construction sounds better every year as it ages.
Hand carved bracing for greater movement of the soundboard providing a richer sound.
Slim neck design feels natural in your hand making it easier to form chords.
Custom string spacing for greater speed and accuracy (and less rattles).
Zager soft touch fret design for less string bite and finger fatigue.
Adjustable truss rod to raise or lower action depending on your playing style.
Special ultra thin high gloss finish allows more movement of the body for deeper sound
Hand carved bone nut and saddle. (Found on predominantly $1500+ guitars).
Hand laid abalone inlay rosette with pearl fret markers.
Ivory binding detail and zipper stripe down back (Found in predominantly $1500+ guitars).
Genuine Grover tuning machines (best in the world).
100% money back guarantee

OM Style

Orchestra models (referred to as OM's) have a body that is 15% smaller then our full size guitars. They have a slightly narrower hour glass design which make them sit lower in your lap so they're a little easier to get your arm around, especially if you're smaller in stature or if you have a larger mid section. Neck size and scale length are identical to our full size guitars

Grade A Sitka Spruce Top Top

Sitka which is known for its strength and durability comes from the Northern coast of British Columbia up into Alaska. It tends to have a warm pinkish/tan hue to it. Spruce offers a tight, punchy low end response with great projection. Players who demand a powerful sound with tons of projection will hear the benefit of a Sitka spruce top. Used on only the highest quality acoustic guitars in the world.

Indian Rosewood 900CE Back-sides

One of the most popular and traditional guitar woods of all time. Where mahogany lends itself to the midrange, rosewoods sonic profile is deeper in the low end. Not to take anything away from mahogany as many players will find it difficult to tell them apart, but the dedicated ear will notice a deeper, richer, sweeter tone coming from a rosewood guitar.

Hand Bent Figured Maple Binding

Figured Maple binding is not only beautiful to look at but it also protects your guitar from bumps and nicks in daily use. Found generally on guitars exceeding the $2000+ price point.

Mahogany with Inlay Neck

Mahogany—one of the most popular tone woods used on acoustic guitars for the last 50 years. Complete with hand laid contrast inlay.

Indian Rosewood Headstock

Indian rosewood is commonly found on high-end guitars. This wood is heavier and more dense than mahogany and also is very stable and resonant. East Indian Rosewood is dark brown with sometimes purple-brown streaks giving a pleasant figure. The guitar head stock configuration is a registered trademark and is used under license from C.F. Martin & Co. Inc. of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, USA.

Zager Design (Hand Scalloped) Bracework

The technique of scalloping or shaving the braces can have a huge impact on the power and tone of an acoustic guitar. By shaving or reducing the thickness of the brace, it becomes more flexible and therefore lets the top move more freely. When done by a Master Luthier the brace maintains its structural integrity, while making the top more efficient. The result is faster attack, longer sustain, more bass, more power, and an overall improvement in the whole tone system.

Full Abalone Inlay Inlay

Abalone inlay is found on only the highest quality guitars. Laid by hand one piece at a time, the color and translucence of each piece changes with different amounts of light. Not only does it add to the overall look of your guitar, but it also adds to the value. Our 900 Pro Series guitars have an inlay rosette around the sound hole in combination with inlay around the entire face as well as small cross fret markers going up the fret board

Pearl Cross Fret-markers

Used on only the highest quality guitars. Laid by hand on the fret board one piece at a time. It's a very tedious, time consuming process but the results are breathtaking

Figured Maple Inlay Back-detail

This accent matches the guitars figured binding and abalone inlay perfectly to give it that extra expensive look of a pro series guitar. Laid by hand one piece at a time. Adds to the overall beauty and sets off the color of the wood. Found on only the highest quality guitars in the world.

High Gloss Finish

High-gloss finish provides excellent protection but at the same time is extremely light and elastic. This is a crucial point in both the sound of the guitar and its ability to age—which is what makes a guitar sound better year after year. A thick finish muffles a guitar's vibration and blocks aging.

Custom Adjustment Setting Truss-rod

Denny designs his guitars with a truss rod adjustment setting that allows you to dial in your guitar to your particular playing style. In this way if you're a heavy handed player you can set the action higher so you can "get on it" a little for more power, and if you're lighter handed touch player you can dial in the action low so you can move faster and play longer with less fatigue.

Genuine Grover (gold) Tuning-machines

Genuine Grover sealed tuning machines are found on only the finest guitars made. Look at tuners on $2500+ acoustics and you will see the majority have "Grovers." Unlike open gear tuners where the tuning mechanism is exposed, Grover sealed tuners contain a lubricant that keep the tuning mechanism sealed air-tight so the gears turn smooth and continue to for the life of your instrument. Lifetime warranty. If you have a tuner go bad we'll replace it free of charge for life.

Bone Hand Carved Nut

Denny hand carves his nuts from bone for each guitar so the strings are set lower with custom spacing. Lower string heights make it easier to press down to form chords and it also increases finger speed. Custom spacing allows you to move faster with less buzzes, mutes, and rattles because you’re no longer bumping adjacent strings. Custom string spacing makes it easier for all hands sizes big and small. Lifetime warranty. Break a nut and we'll replace it free of charge for life

Tusq Hand Carved Saddle

Denny hand carves each saddle for each individual guitar. Denny also adjusts the intonation settings to bring the guitar harmonically in balance with itself. This not only makes your guitar easier to play, but it also makes it sound more powerful. Customers say our guitars fall into tune easier and stay in tune longer...this is one of the reasons why. Denny uses only genuine "Tusq" brand saddles on his guitars which you generally only find on higher dollar acoustics . Lifetime warranty. Break a saddle and we'll replace it free of charge for life.

Zager Custom Lights Strings

Zager custom strings are designed by Denny exclusively for his Guitars. We have customers using all brands and gauges of strings on our guitars with excellent results (Elixir, Martin, Fender, Gibson, D'addario) but these are the strings our customers seem to like the most on our guitars. Hand wound daily in our shop in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Zager Soft Touch (Hand Filed) Frets

Denny hand files each fret one at a time on every guitar that leaves our shop. By filing the frets Denny achieves two important things. When sliding up and down the neck your fingers will no longer get irritated and sore and you won't suffer from what we call "String Bite" and overall finger fatigue. Secondly, when you file the frets by hand each fret will have the same uniform height. 9 times out of 10 when you have a buzzing string it has nothing to with your playing, it’s because you have a guitar with a fret that’s sitting away from the fret board hitting a string.

Lifetime Warranty

Our warranty is simple. Lifetime on all guitars. A quality guitar should be made to last a lifetime and if it doesn't it wasn't a quality guitar to begin with.

What players say

I’ve been playing guitar for nearly 40 years and have owned Martin, Taylor, and Gibson acoustics. My Zager is by far the best-playing and best-sounding guitar I’ve ever owned. I didn’t expect that.

George Johnson

Houston, Texas

What surprised me most is how easy this guitar is to play. The neck is comfortable, the action is low, and my hands don’t fatigue. I honestly thought this was a $5,000 guitar.

Richard Neunburger

I was honestly skeptical after reading reviews online, but after spending time with it, I can say this guitar blew me away. I’ve owned high-end Martins and didn’t expect this level of tone or playability.

Mitch Harder

Boise, Idaho

After 30+ years of playing, you know when something is special. This Zager plays easier than my Taylor and sounds every bit as good as guitars I’ve paid twice as much for.

John Michelson

Los Angeles, California

I’ve played for over 40 years, owned Gibsons and Martins, and this guitar is simply the best I’ve ever owned. It’s easier on my hands and sounds incredible. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Cliff Mortinson

Dallas, Texas

I’ve been playing for over 35 years and have owned Martin and Gibson. The first thing I noticed with the Zager was how easy it is to play. It’s one of those guitars that just feels right the moment you pick it up.

Tom Estus

Chicago, Illinois

If you handed this to me without telling me the price, I would have assumed it was a $4,000–$5,000 guitar. I’ve paid more than that for instruments that didn’t play this comfortably.

Michael Wagner

Phoenix, Arizona

I’ve been playing guitar for over 40 years, and I’ll admit I was skeptical at first. After spending time with it, I can honestly say this guitar blew me away. I’ve owned high-end Taylors, and this holds its own easily.

Leonard Kapaski

Omaha, Nebraska

After 30+ years of playing, my hands don’t tolerate stiff guitars anymore. The Zager is noticeably easier on my hands, and I can play longer without fatigue. That alone sets it apart from my Martin.

Elton Moyer

Kansas City, Kansas

I’ve owned Gibsons, Martins, and Takamines over the last four decades, and this is the best guitar I’ve ever owned. The tone, the feel, and the attention to detail all exceeded what I expected.

Roger Terrell

Miami, Florida
