Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Zager Guitars renowned for their playability?
Effortless Playability Meets Superior Sound: Every Zager Guitar features a bespoke bracing system, meticulously designed to flex subtly, reducing the force needed to form chords while amplifying your sound for a richer, deeper output. Our unique neck design—perfected over 50 years with input from artists and players worldwide—ensures unmatched comfort and precision. Plus, our custom string spacing prevents the annoyance of buzzing, and our soft metal frets make playing a pleasure, not a pain.
How can I experience a Zager Guitar for myself?
Try at Home, Risk-Free: You can try a Zager Guitar from the comfort of your home for a 30-day trial—completely risk-free. We offer a 100% money-back guarantee, including all shipping fees. If it’s not the perfect fit, you’ve got nothing to lose.
What’s included with a Zager Guitar?
Luxury Unpacked: To celebrate our 53rd anniversary, every guitar comes with our $200 Pro ABS case, which includes a digital humidity system, and a $625 Luxury Package—absolutely free. Our guitars are crafted for your convenience and protection, arriving ready to play straight out of the box.
Can Zager Guitars help with arthritis, joint, or muscle pain?
Absolutely. Zager Guitars are designed to be as ergonomic as they are musical. With reduced string pressure by up to 50%, forming chords is much easier and requires less effort. The slim neck and custom string spacing provide comfort for players dealing with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or muscle pain, allowing for extended playing sessions with reduced strain. Many players have found relief and joy through Zager’s thoughtful design.
What if I have bigger hands or fingers?
Tailored for Every Hand: Our guitars feature extra string spacing and an optimized neck design to give big fingers room to move freely, avoiding unintended string contact and ensuring clean, precise chords. Say goodbye to frustration and hello to smooth, effortless playing.
What if my hands are on the smaller side?
Specially Crafted for Smaller Hands: Zager Guitars’ slim neck profile and reduced string pressure make them the ideal choice for players with smaller hands or shorter fingers. Forming chords is easier and more comfortable, so you can play longer without fatigue or discomfort.
Still Not Sure Which Guitar to Choose?
The ZAD900CE is a fan favorite that accommodates both beginners and experts alike.
If you demand the best this is it. When we have a customer come into the shop with a $5000 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 it 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
