Question about inlays
Currently have tree of life inlays that are white. How hard would it be to put green in instead? Or would a sticker be a better option?

Very, very hard...
you would have to re rout every single piece and put new ones in. Just go for sticker. |

I priced a tree of life for one im building. £50 was the cheapest i found. Then id have to rout a blank neck for it, which it slightly beyond my skill level. No local luthier would do it for less than £100.
Try some green stain... |

Stain is absolutely useless in a situation like this. It doesnt stain inlays. |

I think im gonna go with green stickers. They supposedly last for two years or so. and theyre only $20. alot cheaper than a new neck or new inlays. :P My problem is, I dont know how hard they are to remove once theyre on.. What if they start to come off in spots, and i cant get all of them off? Then im left with half green, half pearl inlays....

that's where you get a razor blade and just very carefully scrape it off. It won't scratch up the inlay or neck as long as you dont dig into it.
