Michael, 
Thanks so much!  I have very limited experience with 3D modeling and have been beating my head on this one for a while.  I did try sectioning it, but as you point out, it isn't easy getting it smooth.  I had hoped there was an elegant solution.  I can apply something similar to the transition between the neck and the peg head as well. 
 
Thank you very much for your help.  I love using MOI. 
 
Cheers, 
Don
