@Keysalagain @John_Ripley @Lulz4l1f3 My friend’s Zager 900ce is not labeled as “Made in America” I assume it is “parts manufactured in Indonesia; assembled in the US”. Fit & finish are virtually flawless. It had a little hump at the 13th & 14th frets, the saddle slot is cut a little too low & the saddle’s B & E slopes needed a sharper edge (buzzing). I had to file all slots on the bone nut. It sounds good, rich but not open. I was able to low action & .004” 1st fret clearance without buzz.

I totally agree and I was muttering similar as I worked on it. A 1st fret barred F chord should be as easy as moving the form to higher frets. The nut was slightly notched. I also had to file in some fall off to the higher frets.
Think Volkswagen Jetta with a high end paint job and wheels. 🤣
