It's for rigidity. Because these guitars have a bolt-on neck instead of the traditional type of neck joining, the steel bar was needed to make it work.

Also, back in the 60's Fender sold a pickup that clamped on that "torsion" bar instead of the pickups that clamped to the sound hole. This allowed the wood in the guitar to retain it's normal resonance. This was standard on their California Series acoustics in the late 60's.
