In this article, Larry Cragg, Neil Young's tech, talk about Neil's equipment. He mentions that he sometimes uses an Alesis Microverb.
In an April 1992 interview with Guitare & Claviers Magazine (French), Neil Young said:
I have a Japanese Epiphone that I bought in New Zealand. The sound isn't good, but it's unique. I like to always buy second-hand guitars, because I know I'm going to write at least one or two songs with them. Because every guitar comes with its own history and the feeling of all the people who have used it before. That makes you play certain chords that you wouldn't play normally and pushes you towards something new. If you're lucky, you'll get a song out of it. [...] It's probably lying on the floor in my bedroom right now. It looks like it's in good shape but the action's really bad and the neck isn't too good. And it's always going out of tune. But I like it. Most of the songs on American Dream were written on it. I think I also wrote Fuckin' Up on it, too.
The guitar can be identified as the Epiphone FT-145 Texan in the official music video for "Unknown Legend". As of 2022, it is at the Youngtown Rock & Roll Museum.
