Johnny Cash Guitarist Dave Roe

“Over the last 65 years I’ve played the best from Martin, Taylor, Fender and Gibson, but at this moment in my opinion Zager is making the best acoustics in the business today.”

Celine Dion Lead Guitarist Andre Coutu

The neck is very easy to play everywhere, I can bend the strings easily and there’s no buzz at all. The sound is focused, full range, nice bottom, solid mids, rich and round highs. Plus, I think it looks awesome! Thank you so much, I really appreciate that guitar.

Chet Atkins guitarist Pat Bergeson

“Thanks, Denny, for making a great sounding, affordable guitar that I can use on the road and in the studio. The neck, the pickup and the workmanship are all top notch.”

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.
