Looks great. I just finished I laying a vintage pearl Epiphone into my Alleykat’s headstock (it can easily be hidden by the bikini plate logo if I ever want to go back to stock.” The fake block inlays on the neck are next. Where did you get the pearl for your neck?
Hey, I bought the precut MoP from stewmac

Anyone ever replaced the Inlays on their Epi?
in Epiphone Electrics

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.
