I've alway's wondered what those leathery lookin things on Gordon's pick guards are??
His guitars are the only ones I've ever saw with them.I have a couple theory's,-I had a bad habit of my middle and ring fingers sticking out and tapping while doing strumming song's,and I could see that these "patche's" would mute that,but so would abstinance,which I'm sure Gordon is quite capable of in this realm,,,or is it something to do with picker protection,as He utilizes the naturals????
