I purchased an open box / blem guitar... but I cannot see any marks or blems. Gorgeous guitar and cannot wait to get more time with her. (she arrived in almost perfect tune... lol)
Both guitars are nice instruments good quality
Looks great, I bought it because it was my birthday. It is almost to pretty to play, iI love the inlay, I have not tried the amp I don't have one at this time. But I was very happy when it came! Very satisfied!
The Z840E Ziricote Elite is my second Zaar guitar, joining my Z690E Koa. Both are remarkably well made and exceptionally stable—they practically never go out of tune. What I appreciate most is how forgiving they are: even if I strike one string more lightly than the others, it still comes through clearly and contributes to a full, musical sound. That responsiveness is something I simply don’t experience with my other acoustic guitars.
Wow!!! thats all i can say!!! Thank you!
Well, I was so happy with the Z840, I ordered the Z690. Musically, it sings like the multiple other Koa instruments I have. I have zero complaints about it's musical performance. Everyone has their own visual preferences, and, aesthetically, this particular edition of this model didn't suit me. Mind you, I had friends who LOVED it. One said it was a work of art that I could have simply hung on the wall in my music room. This is where Zaar came through with flying colors. When I requested to return it, the only thing I was asked was if I wanted to try another, but since I had just purchased the Z840, I declined. They graciously granted the return, sent an all-expense-paid return label, and accepted it back. Retrospectively, I'm almost sorry I returned it. But, score another point for Zaar's integrity. When I'm ready for yet another instrument, I'll turn to them first.
I've got to admit, I was skeptical that one could purchase this level of musical quality at such a reasonable price, but Zaar nailed it. I've got the top-of-the line Taylor 914ce builder's edition, as well as several others, and there are ways in which this Zaar excels. I vacillate between the two, often preferring the Z840. With their legitimate return policy, how can you go wrong? I dare say that few, if any, who try the Zaar would not be thrilled with it. Do yourself a favor... Go for it.
I am very happy with my ZS 720 E great guitar action is fantastic. Sound is really over the top. I think it’s a great guitar. I will highly recommend it to anyone and I’m playing a long time. I can’t put this guitar down like it’s stuck in my hands. I started playing the guitar when I was 10 years old. I’m 79 now and play every day take my advice. It’s a great guitar. They’re get a chance. Buy one. I highly recommend it.
I've been a high end Taylor player for over 20 years, but I came across Zaar and fell in love. I took the leap and purchased a Z840se and have been richly rewarded. The guitar itself is stunning and turns heads with its beauty (with a nice hardshell case, too). Actually playing the guitar is just as rewarding. It came perfect, right out of the box with no adjustments needed. It sounds wonderful both plugged-in and unplugged. Both my sound guys agree that it sounds better than my more expensive Taylor. Thanks Zaar! My hat is off to you and your high level of excellence at a very affordable price! I highly recommend Zaar to anyone looking!
I have called your office twice no response as far as the guitar why would I call soon I will post on my acoustic sites my review and you won't be happy
Received my guitar with scratches on it and cloth inside the guitar some little bumps above the surface of the guitar no paper work in at all are nothing attached to the guitar
This is by far the most beautiful acoustic I have owned. Sounds terrific! Beefy lows, nice mids, and great highs!
Beautiful strap, very nice capo, love the sound hole cover
I now have two ZAAR acoustic guitars I love both of them the craftsmanship is and the sound. I’ve been recording for years and I’ve used different brands of guitars on my albums. The pick up on the Zaar guitars. Are pretty amazing. I would recommend them to any musician that wants a beautiful instrument. That plays well and looks fantastic and sounds great.

I’m returning the guitar waiting for a return authorization
Better than I could have wished for. 100% great. Sold tooo cheap. 😎
It was worth the wait...just like shown in picture..Sounds amazing....easy to play. Nothing but compliments!!
I ordered mine last fall when they were first announced and it was just delivered this week. I have been a Zaar Guitar owner of 2 acoustics for over 2 years now and have been extremely satisfied with both my Santos Rosewood and Zircote. Their workmanship, quality, gorgeous builds, overall tone/sound, electrics and playability have been unmatched! So when Craig made the decision to enter an electric solid body guitar into their catalog, well, without hesitation, I was down:) First, the overall design and esthetics are unlike anything on the market! It was a tough decision having a choice of six colors to choose from but I ultimately wanted something that popped so I chose the POLAR REEF/BLACK COMBO so when it arrived and I unboxed it..I had to just stand back, take a moment to behold the beauty of this gorgeous guitar! It is beautifully designed with an extreme high quality of craftsmanship. I was so anxious to get into my studio, plug it into my Orange Super Crush amp via my pedalboard and crank it. The result was unreal...ballsy, loud and crystal clear Humbuckers shook the room! It was a pro set up and perfectly tuned out of the box. I did not order the case right away as I have so many Strat/Tele type hard cased I thought might fit. Well..haha..they kinda do ok but this guitar design begs for a custom designed and cut case just for The Cicero Black so I will be ordering the case soon:). It plays like butter, smooth, nice, well polished fret ends and slick, sweet neck/fretboard combo. The black Zaar locking tuners are nothing like anything else out there...heavy duty and really gorgeous culminating in a beautiful headstock! OK, Craig, I know you are saying to yourself "will this guy ever stop"? Yup, so yea, I need to get back into my Nashville studio and write some new music with this amazing guitar which will suite my Rock, Metal and Nashville sounds all in one...but I still might plug my Tele or PRS in.....sometime ..LOL! So, my Blue Family is now complete! Or I could say.."my team is full":)
I was skeptical about the quality of this guitar but it's an impressive instrument. I was very happy with my Z420, but that just made me more curious about how well the Z840 performed. I am not disappointed!
