How did you hear about this brand?
I was actually looking up Martin guitars on my computer and I had looked at them before and compared some models and pretty much had decided on one particular model. I am a new guitar player, still very much learning. Taking lessons for the first time as a middle-aged person. I had always wanted to learn and never did, so I finally purchased a relatively inexpensive guitar and began lessons. Callouses and all, I wanted to continue and wanted my next guitar. An ad came up for Zager EZ play guitars and I at first dismissed it, but then it intrigued me. I went to the site and read all about them and read all the reviews I could find and concluded, "I've found my next guitar". I was wanting to stay in a particular price range so that's why I ordered the 50CE model. I placed my order the next day.

How does this guitar compare with your old guitar, other guitars, or guitars you've tried in stores?
This guitar is sooo much easier on my fingers. I've already developed callouses from other guitar, but even still it hurt if I practiced longer than 35 min. I wish I had had this guitar from the start. The tone and sound of this guitar is beautiful. My other guitar sounded "tinny". This one is rich. Not to mention how beautiful this guitar is! Solid wood-gorgeous, abalone inlay, choice of woods, and the high gloss finish, which I personally like. I love the built-in tuner. My other guitar didn't have that so I had to buy a separate tuner. All told, a beautiful guitar.

What's your favorite part about this guitar?
The ease of play. The action is good and easy on the fingers.

If you didn't know the price of this guitar what would you estimate the price to be?
I have not looked at the price of many guitars. Mainly just some of the Martins and this one was less expensive than the Martin I had kind of decided on, so I know, for one similar to this, I would have to estimate this guitar would be twice the price it is. I was telling my guitar teacher, who is 19 yrs. old, and just bought a new Martin, and his mother about Zager guitars and their company and their service and she said,"Wow. What did THAT cost you? She had just recently purchased that Martin guitar for her other son and she couldnt believe it when I told her.

How would you rate customer support?
Let's just say I don't know any other company ANYWHERE that can even come close to competing with this company in customer service. I mean that sincerely. I deal with a lot of companies and have never been treated so much like I matter. First of all, when I was considering ordering my guitar, I emailed with questions and help to choose which one for me and, I got answers back almost immediately. I'm talking minutes, not hours or days. They emailed me after I ordered thanking me for my order and the next day it went out. Without going into detail, let's just say that when I received it I, due to my naivety and lack of experience did something that was my fault and was really upset at myself. I emailed Dennis to tell him what I had done and he told me how to resolve it and the next day I took care of it and all was well. That night Dennis emailed me and said for me to send the guitar back because they weren't sure why this happened. I said no and he insisted. It actually did make me feel better. The next day they had already sent the new one even though I hadn't gotten the first one to UPS yet. Who does that? I received the new one in 4 days and am so very happy! What a company!

Would you recommend this guitar to others…if so why?
Yes, I have already and will continue to do so. I would say to all beginners to get one of these guitars before you get anything else. I know practice would be so much easier and you will be more likely to keep it up.

Additional comments:
Nothing more to add really. I think I've about said it all. I guess one more thing: I am even more impressed by the fact that someone like Denny Zager, with celebrity status, would show this level of care and concern for people and their love of playing guitar enough to make such a beautiful instrument at a price where most people can afford and not do it just for money is a testament to his character and sets him apart! Thank you!
