History of Zager Guitars

• In 1969 Denny rebuilt the neck on his guitar giving it a low oval shape unlike any guitar on the market at that time.
• In 1970 he replaced the frets using a softer, smaller gauge of fret wire.

The results Denny’s students had with these guitars were incredible. Chords and measures that once took weeks to learn were now mastered in days.

Using the Zager Guitar teaching method his students were already learning at a rate faster then any other, but when combined with Denny’s custom guitars their learning curve skyrocketed.

Denny realized his students were able to practice 3 to 5 times longer simply because their fingers were no longer in pain.

Denny also discovered from his own playing that he could do things on his guitars that he couldn’t do on other guitars. Riffs and chords that seemed impossible before were now easy. The speed at which he moved on the fret board increased significantly and he became a much better player.

Veteran players were now demanding his guitars because they could play longer, move faster, and enjoy playing more.

Over the next 20 years Denny built and reworked thousands of guitars and honed his skills eventually launching his own brand of  Zager Guitars that would be known for their ease in playability.
