So you can have a place to put your fingers if you are playing with your thumb maybe? For people who are all thumbs? Or for left handed people. One of those.

Those early acoustics are awesome. That system that they came up with to intonate an acoustic is genius!

Ones a thumb rest, the other's a finger rest... Usually, for when fingers need to rest.

Yeah Fender put finger rests on all the basses originally, because for some reason he thought bassist played with their thumbs? The thumb rest came later. It does look pretty cool with matching rests though I think.
