I picked up a Jackson Soloist SL2 Pro Plus and it plays and sounds amazing. Feature loaded, and quality control every bit as good as my American series that I have.

It has black mother of pearl inlays though. Riffing around is ezpz with the side dots, but I find myself getting lost sometimes when shredding.

I’d like to replace them with mother of pearl inlays. Either a pre-cut kit from somewhere or the raw material to cut them with a CNC machine.

Any recommendations on where to get either, as well as tips and tricks when actually doing it?

Thanks!

You're married to it..
Really tho, inlays are for show because you can't really see them.
It's the Side Markers that you see..
 
  • Luminlay side dots enhance visibility for low-light stage performances
These are all you need really.
 
You can get the vinyl stick on shark fin inlays off ebay for cheap. Nothing permanent if you decide to sell the guitar or want it back to original condition.

What i have found is it is always better to err on the side of caution. If so much as a guitar pot goes bad...even a pair of strings, best to just replace the entire guitar.

Just send the old one to me to be disposed of.
 
Stickers would be the best way to go. To replace inlays you'd most likely need to remove the frets first so you can sand and fill the inlays flush with the fretboard. Doable, but expensive.
