Some have posted ,that it was to protect the guitar from his belt buckle. I myself think, the guitar was probably damaged.

In the front, close to the bridge, below the sound hole, there's this round black patch, on both guitars . The 6 & 12 Strings.

There have been many theory's talked about on this. Some say it has a switch, he just has to press on it, and it as some sort of an effect.

Other's say it's, for protection, from the picks, on his 12 string, Gibson B45, and protection from his fingernails, on his 6 string Martin D18.

He wouldn't want his guitars to look like Willie Nelson's old "Trigger" guitar... :D

Im sure you all noticed,the fingernails on Gordon's right hand. They look like guitar picks.

I myself do play both ways. Sometimes with a pick, and other times, plucking the strings with my fingers, but never was able to use my finger nails...
