hey Euroa spewing the body was leaked on. The gold MOP inlays look unreal and the buffalo horn nuts looks great too (that could be taken the wrong way haha)
What is the plan of attack the remove the existing fret inlays ?
DB posted a good tip couple of days ago before you remove the frets wind the truss rod to give the neck some back bow and there should be less tear out.

(re DBs post) It's a good tip, will be giving them a little heat also with a soldering iron as they're being removed, hopefully the binding wont cause too many issues.
As far as the inlays are concerned, I'll try drilling out near the corners, apply some heat to break the glue bond and then see how they pop out. not too worried as the new ones are a fair bit bigger... the photos don't really do them justice as there is a myriad of color in them, I'll try different light and repost so you guys can see them better.
