Todd, jazz archtops typically have bound guards. Maybe try some checkerboard... that would be insane!

That would be really cool! Imagine something like a nice Fireglo or figured Mapleglo 381 with a pickguard bound just like the body with checkers and then white.... Of course, we're probably getting into $200 pickguard territory, but it would be very cool.
John, all the Latvians that I've met so far have been pretty neat people. They seem to have a much greater sense of national culture than we do, since they're not just a bunch of mutts like we are here. And they have "sprats" which are the tastiest smoked fish in a can you can get!

Todd, I have found them to be very industrious and successful as a people, and yes, with a strong sense of heritage. There is a center here in town and 30 miles south a campground/school/compound where their nationality is celebrated as a way of life. Great food and many very tasty fish dishes. Our wedding feast was catered by a Latvian woman who made really great dishes. Interestingly, my wife hates fish - doesn't like the fishy taste!! Then there is piragi and sauerkraut soup!! Mmmm, piragi warm out of the oven. And Names Days. Svieks!
Oh, and sorry for highjacking the thread...

Fresh, hot Piragi - "Well, I don't want to spoil my dinner, so I'll just have one more"...make that two more...maybe three...four...ten.. who needs dinner anyway? I even have an emergency stash in the freezer. They're not as good as they are just out of the oven, but a few seconds in the microwave makes them pretty respectable.
