That was a Mohan Veena, it's an East Indian slide guitar with all 
these sympathetic strings. It was designed by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt ( 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vishwa_Mohan_Bhatt ) who used it in some 
incredible recordings with various western musicians. I have a few of 
those recordings, one with Bela Fleck, another with Ry Cooder and one 
with Taj Mahal. I understand there was a recording with Jerry Douglas 
that I've never been able to locate.

You could also check out the music of Harry Manx, a Canadian blues 
player from the Vancouver area. He studied with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt 
and uses the Mohan Veena quite a bit in his recordings and concerts.
