        Hello A.M. members,
        I recently bought a travel size acoustic guitar from Zager Guitars, and was very impressed!
        -Cost $795
        -Solid African Mahogany (top, sides & back)
        -Comes with a custom Hard case & humidifier.
        -Adjustable truss rod that lowers or raises the string height from the fret board. No setup needed! Just place your Allen key in the sound hole where the rod is and turn clockwise to lower.
        -Beautiful finish and excellent playability!
        -American made with fine craftmanship!… Very Impressive at a great price point.

        You may remember in 1969 Zager & Evans hit song “in the year 2525″…sold 20 million records. Denny Zager makes a really nice guitar worth considering at this price point.
        In the “December challenge “, I will post a song using slide on this guitar…

                Beautiful axe to add to your collection. I love the looks and tonal quality of mahogany. I didn’t remember 2525 as being that long ago. I suppose I would have been a sophomore in high school. I still love that song.

                      Hi William,
                      If you purchased a guitar from Zager guitar, it was manufactured in Lincoln, Nebraska.
                      If you received a donated guitar in one of the schools in the U.S. it was made in Indonesia..
                      My guitar was made in Lincoln Nebraska…your friends must be using originally donated Indonesian made guitars.
