As a reenactor, and most importantly as an American; listening to this, knowing that some poor man (or woman) gave their life, and probably had their last thoughts to this idea, if not the song itself, makes me cry.

Every one of our states of the USA to the former CSA, should think of this above all else.
I saw an interview with him where he said that guitar is an antique that was made around the time of the Civil War. Can't say what type it is, but that might help you along in your research to find out what type it is.
Billy Yank The tune is an old fiddle tune called “the eighth of January “. Jimmie Driftwood (Timbo Arkansas) wrote the lyrics. Johnny Horton recorded it.
