Hey, Sarah--
A good friend of mine, Harvey Leach, builds splendid custom acoustic guitars, but he is famous for being an absolute wizard at inlay work. Here's his site:
http://www.leachguitars.com/guitarshop/ ... x&cPath=88
He stayed at my house when we attended an acoustic-guitar gathering once, and Harv showed me how it's done, all by hand, and I remember that my takeaway was: I will never, ever, try such a thing. It is so painstaking and requires such precision.
But it seems to me that you could pull it off!
