I collect High-end and what I consider Interesting Guitars. I’m always looking for something to add to my collection.

Recently, I ran across a guitar brand that I hadn’t come across before…Zaar. After doing some research, including listening to video sound clips, I decided to try one.

I was interested in the ZC690SE, a solid KOA wood guitar. This model was not available. I contacted Zaar and worked with Craig to find out what solid wood models they had in stock. I decided on the ZC375SE, which has a Sitka Spruce top and solid Walnut back and sides.

After letting it climatize after delivery, I opened it and was immediately impressed with the appearance and high quality. Upon playing it, the playability and sound were equally impressive!

This guitar punches well above its weight class. I can verify that as I have a Martin Custom Shop Special Order 000-14 with a Sitka Spruce Top and solid Walnut back and sides which cost almost twice as the similar Zaar.

They sound virtually identical and both produce the crystal clear highs for which Walnut guitars are known. The Martin and Zara’s playability, construction, and overall quality aren’talso pretty much the same.

Bottom Line: The ZC375SE is a high quality guitar and an exceptional value!

I’m so impressed with the ZC375SE model, that I intend to purchase a ZC690SE when they are back in stock.

This Guitar feels and vibrates so well tone is clear and yet punchy very elegant with the abalone and lays running through the body. I can truly say this is the best Acoustic guitar I’ve ever played.

This is a great sounding guitar. I finally had a chance to plug it in, and sounds awesome through my amp. Setup was perfect, and the neck is nice and thin. Now, I just need more time to sit and play. Thanks Zaar, and thanks Craig for your help.

Easily one of the best acoustic guitars I've ever played. It feels great to play and the sound is amazing, and I love the way it looks from the headstock all the way to the body. I definitely recommend this to any guitar player who is looking for an acoustic.

Have had it a week and a half now, so I'm not just reacting. Most beautiful guitar I've ever owned. Workmanship is incredible and detailed. No flaws or minor imperfections anywhere. Feels amazing to hold. I was worried about the bigger size, but the design of the armrest bevel is just perfect - not overdone - just right. And most importantly - the sound is amazing, plugged in or not! Couldn't be happier!

This is a great guitar, the tone of the guitar is perfect once I had it tuned. Makes me wish I played better. It didn’t have the 2-tone wood on the sides which was a little disappointing since it was shown in the photos on the website. I now have 4 Zaar guitars and have not regretted buying a single one. The attached picture is the Z540E, Z840E and Z690SE.

Guitar is exactly as advertised. Love the tone and plugged in, it’s amazing. I’m sitting here wondering what new guitars you may have and very tempted to buy at least one, or two, more.

I have played a Taylor for 20 years but as soon as played my Zaar, she went to the case. I love the look, and the sound. This is one of the best purchase I’ve ever made!

I purchased the Z690 on a whim. I liked what I saw on FB and decided to give it a try
I am 82 years old and started playing on a Sears guitar in 1948. I don't remember how many guitars I've had in the past, over 15 that I know of. I presently have a Guild, Gretch Gibson, and a Zager. From the time I opened the case to now, I am extremely pleased. Craftsmanship, sound and ease of playing full six string bar chords. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

The craftsmanship is impeccable, stunning and combined with a tonal quality that rivals my Taylor Presentation Series. I have never been happier with a guitar purchase or a guitar manufacture than I have with Zaar Guitars. I’m partial to the Z420SE but truthfully they are all great. Get One!

Legitly the best acustic I've played thus far! Sound is on point and very easy to play all while being comfortable to hold.

Guitar is beautiful and love the sound. This is what I was looking for in a acustic guitar. Unfortunately I have injured my left hand and can't play currently. What I will do is change strings to light and ask for some directions with electronics. Only complaint is no directions on different modes for electronics. Can't wait to heal my hand and play again !!!! Really do love the looks and sound.!!!

I recently traded in a Taylor 114CE for a Zaar Sketch Series guitar at a local guitar shop. The Taylor's electronics did not work and the strings were way too high off of the neck so I was searching for something new. The previous owner of the Sketch Series had it for a couple of months and decided he liked Gibson better. After taking this guitar home and putting a new set of strings on, I have not put it down. This is a great guitar and have 0 complaints. It looks great, feels great, and sounds great. I was skeptical at first since Zaar guitars is a fairly new company but I could not be happier with this guitar. I would recommend this guitar to anyone. 10/10
