Since this thread is here, I'll put out there that Zager Guitars are a sponsor of this site. The powers that be made a decision to allow their sponsorship and so I feel I should show them respect. So I am grateful for their sponsorship of a forum I frequent so often. That said no one has asked me to sensor my views on any brand and I think Zager produces an overpriced product.
The value they add to the otherwise generic guitars they sell is in the unique "Zagerized" setup which gives the player very low action and extra light gauge strings. Fretting a Zager feels a lot like fretting an electric guitar. Truthfully, that will be of value to many players who gig night after night for many hours. But it's not for everyone. If you want to experience something very similar to a Zager try out the Epiphone PRO-1. The feel reminds me of the Zager I played. I liked it enough to add a PRO-1 to my collection.
The only Zager I tried was a lower end model that appeared to be a Chinese import rebranded. They do offer much better models than the one I played.
Good luck.
