Wanted to wait a little while to send a review so I can get the full effect of what is a beautiful work of art. The cedar top and Ziricote sides and back (ordered the solid wood with electrics) sound very soft and warm and absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t be happier with any other guitar. I have an Alvarez solid wood with spruce top and a Taylor grand auditorium with ash top and the Zaar has a much deeper sound and long resignation. What a truly beautiful sound to match the awesome looks.
Hats off to the team at Zaar.

I’ve never had a cedar guitar before but this plays and sounds amazing no pick up but I knew that so my guitar guy is going to install a LrBaggs hi fi bridgeplate pickup system even the case is primo my only gripe is I wish the neck was satin finish but I love the guitar I think in the future I’m going to get the Zaar 12 string thanks for a awesome guitar
I'm blown away by the time of this guitar. Way beyond my expectations for the price! This is one guitar I bought without playing first and have no regrets!
I absolutely love it! Beautifully crafted and perfect fit! Craftsmanship doesn't get any better than this
Now THIS is a nice, supple, lightweight leather strap that is wide enough but not too wide and bulky! In my estimation it's Perfect!!
I’ve played 12 string guitars for over 60 years. Martins, Ovations, Gibsons and Taylor’s and I am so pleased and with the quality, playability and sound. I smile every time I pick it up. Thank you for building this instrument at such an incredible value!
I am relatively new at guitar, but this Z420 Santos Rosewood Acoustic Elite series is absolutely beautiful! It is very heavy and you can tell the quality construction that went into every detail. The solid rosewood body, inlay, and glossy finish are so eye-catching. It has a beautiful deep and rich tone. The case is high quality, heavy, and has a very plush interior and includes a humidity gauge. They even threw in a capo as a gift! To have this level of craftmanship, beauty, and tone, along with the included case and extra gift, I could have easily spent double!
Very impressed with the quality and sound of this guitar! Haven’t laid it down since getting it!
I fell in love with this guitar as soon as I took it out of the case!
It's beautiful, and sounds awesome!
The Z840 Is The prettiest and sounds great.. the other two came yesterday they are pretty but the sound does not seem to be as full. but very nice .they have a new guitar sound. I love Zaar guitars !!! What do you consider The best sounding guitar Zaar has ?
I love the speaker on this thing, as I can get reverb and delay straight out of the guitar itself without having to plug it in. Pickup sounds nice and bright through my rig.
I love this thing. First guitar I've ever had with semi hemisphereacle fret ends, and they look great and feel nice. I have guitars twice this price that don't have frets this nice. Stock pickups are pretty good, but I ended up swapping them out for Zaar's Route 66 set. Came setup well, but I lowered the action a bit and it plays even more buttery than before.
These are a bit lower output than your normal pickup, even when compared to PAF vintage pickups, but when I dialed up the gain, sounds as heavy as any other pickup I've played, but with more clarity!
Very pleased with the quality and the sound! Everything about it is perfect.
Somewhere along the way, I accidentally became a Zaar guitar collector. It started innocently enough… and now I own four of their acoustics: the Z540E Walnut, Z420SE Rosewood, Z690SE Koa, and the ZC375E Spruce/Walnut Satin. Each one has its own personality, which is a polite way of saying I have justified keeping all of them.
For context, this is not a “I’ve only ever owned one guitar type” situation. There’s also a Fender Strat, a Gibson SG, a Gibson Les Paul, and a Conrad violin-body guitar floating around here (because apparently I collect shapes now).
And yet… the Cicero has somehow become my favorite all-around electric.
It’s got this small body that actually fits in human hands (a bold design choice), a fretboard that feels suspiciously like silk, and it’s just ridiculously fun to play. Worst of all, it’s affordable, which means I can’t even pretend my love for it is about prestige.
In short: I own objectively fancier guitars… and still keep reaching for this one. Which is either a glowing endorsement or proof that guitars, like people, are mostly about vibes. Great work, Zaar!
Very happy with my purchase have not had time to play with it much but after receiving it and plugging it in and it is going to be a joy and I also have an acoustic ZAAR of which I absolutely love
I own three high end acoustics (I won't mention the brand), but lately, have been dreaming of a guitar with perfect playability and tone. Found it! My new Z540E has the best of both worlds. A big shout out to Craig and the team at Zaar guitars! Thanks so much!

Good morning. I never thought I’d need to use my warranty this soon. I was preparing to play a gig last night when the saddle snapped off completely. Please advise asap where I can take the guitar for service near me. I live in Mt Pleasant, Wisconsin. Thanks. Peter Burrows [****].
I love this guitar! It sounds great and plays great. I pick it up every day!
The last four sets of strings were wrongly put on the guitar.
