Doc' fretboard

Recommended Posts

I've been watching some of Doc Watson's YouTube performances. One of his flat top boxes shows up regularly. I'm not sure if it's a Mutton or what make it is. However , it apears to have binding between the 1st and 2nd string, then again between the 5th and 6th. Is this a common option? I've never seen it. Could it be a raised area so Doc can use as a landmark to be sure his fingers are on the right string?

He's playing "Black Mountain Rag" on it here:
