Guitars used by Nils Lofgren on Colorado
Fender Stratocaster Electric Guitar
Avg price: $622.79
Nils uses two 1961 Fender Stratocasters on stage, this is one of them. Guitar.com reveals that he used his 1961 Stratocasters on 2021 record "Barn" by Neil Young and the Crazy Horse. He also reveals that he does not use 1961 Stratocasters live because of safety concerns.
Elsewhere, Lofgren tuned into a reflective spirit gear-wise, bringing out the go-to ‘61 Strats that he used on Tonight’s The Night along with a Gretsch Black Falcon that added some muscular tones on Colorado. “Change Ain’t Never Gonna Come and Shape of Things, I put on the ’61 Strat,” he says. “When I do my little club touring, I take great Strats that are reissues. I just can’t safely take my ’61s.
Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitars
Avg price: $3,899.68
I’ve got my old Black Falcon, a beautiful Gretsch guitar that certainly is reminiscent of Danny’s work.
Guitar.com reveals that Lofgren used the guitar on the recording of "Canerican" of the "Barn", 2021 album with Neil Young and the Crazy Horse. It is also revealed in the interview that the guitar was used on Neil Young's 2019 album "Colorado":
“On Canerican, I went to the Black Falcon,” he adds. “I love that sound. I’ve used that too on stage with Neil and Crazy Horse the past couple years, kinda instead of the White Falcon-Buffalo Springfield thing, I’ve got a Black Falcon with the little gold lame Vegas-Elvis touch. That felt great there. It was fun to crank up and start going at it. Always in the back of my mind is, ‘Man, if we could just get on the road and have some of those songs turn into eight to ten-minute epics.’ You don’t want to force that, it just kind of happened with Welcome Back. I expect it to happen with all of those live.”
