First...the first "Pioneer Strat" wasn't available until 1874, well after Lincoln's death. Second, Lincoln was a Tele man...he played a blonde Tele at Gettysburg and at his second inauguration where he played "Fuck the Insurrection"....🙄I see you're another one of those that want to replace the true guitar heritage of Abe.
