I like the whole concept of this..... Can't wait to see you pull this off. I would have done the belly button to match the fret dots, which look like mother of pearl, but that's me.
I can drill that bridge for you if you like. I do guitar work as one of my livings. PM me if you can't find someone local! I think you would be a little better off with very small slots as opposed to just holes, so there is no pinching of those tiny little wires that go to your saddles, and you would have your full intonation adjustment without worry of the wires getting pinched. Those are my thoughts sight unseen. Maybe you could get away with regular round holes, but I wouldn't want to make that call without actually seeing the Wilky and the Ghost Saddles on my bench. I should be able to give you a one day turn around on that if you are interested. 6 slots or holes would be an in and out job. I am also the guy who does wooden control covers, which I must say, this guitar absolutely needs!!!!! Please, please even if you decide on someone else to do a wooden back cover for you, do not ugly up that awesome guitar with a plastic back cover, you have come this far, it's only fair to the guitar to make her butt look as good as her rack if you know what I'm saying!!!
Awesome to see a lefty that uses concepts that are a little outside the box!!!! I love it!!!!!
