ZAD50 Solid Spruce/Mahogany Acoustic Vintage Sunburst - DEAL OF THE DAY
Possibly the last guitar you’ll ever buy. 60 years of playing, performing, and teaching guitar has given Denny Zager an advantage over the majority of builders today. Denny understands the demands of the professional player because he is one. He discovered there are certain key elements that make a great guitar, and with that knowledge, he created the Zager ZAD50VS Series.
This Vintage Sunburst edition carries the same core design as the original ZAD50, solid wood construction, hand-scalloped bracing, and custom neck geometry, but wrapped in a deep sunburst gloss finish that adds timeless visual appeal. Each piece of tonewood is hand-selected to enhance both sound and beauty, producing a warm, resonant tone that only improves with age.
Professionals using the ZAD50VS on stage consistently say it matches or outperforms $2000 instruments, yet with noticeably easier playability and a much lower price, since you’re buying direct from our workshop in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Be sure to read artist comments and magazine reviews on the 50 Series, it consistently ranks in the top 5% of acoustics made worldwide.
100% money-back guarantee (including shipping both ways) and a lifetime warranty, because it’s built to last a lifetime.
