I'm sure finding the ferrule block would be easy given your location. I didn't see any at Guitar Fetish, but I would think there will be other suppliers in the US.

These ones are from the UK, but you can at least see what I'm talking about:

Note: not sure what string to string spacing you need, so the above is just an example.
Interesting. So I would just route the body for that and be done with it. I don't have a lot of experience routing, but I recently did grab a router, and think that if I am careful, I could manage something like that.

I assume that the only other option would be to fill and re-drill the holes... leaving me with only a non-transparent paint finish as an option?
