hey It isnt very hard but you need nerves of steel. if you make a mistake you cant freak out. I used a soldering iron with damp paper towels. Dude on youtube shows how he does it. I dont like the drill method. I tried it on my ibby and it didn't work. In fact i doubt the drill method will work if there is too much glue under the inlays. I fear of removing wood doing that method. Which imo is better suited for small inlays. Anyway! After removing the inlays I radiused the new inlays using a stewmac radius block. Good luck! have fun! In the end its worth it because becomes more "yours." Seems Epiphone and Gibson fans are more conservative when it comes to customizing guitars.

Hey, I bought the precut MoP from stewmac

I did and I dont regret it! Changed bridge to Gotoh with gotoh tail piece, changed tuner buttons to keystones/tulips, and put real MoP inlays. Before and after.
