It all depends on how the route was originally done.
This can be easily accomplished with a Dremel if need be.

OK, cool, that I didn't know.

Yeah, I gotcha, but if the Floyd will cover it, repairing it isn't a huge deal. I can think of a dozen ways to clean that mess up with a rasp and sandpaper. Might even be able to make it look kinda cool. He's already got a bevel carved into it, just square that off and smooth it up, I'd bet real money you'd only see it during a dive bomb, or at the very least right under the locking screws.

If he was going for perfect, he'd would have bought a Warmoth or USA Custom body in the first place.
