How do you remove inlays?
I've just recently gotten into self guitar tech, and i would like to know how to remove inlays from the neck without removing the fingerboard or damaging the neck. If it matters, currently the inlays in question are plastic dots on an Indonesian-made Squire. If there are different methods for different inlays, i would like to have information on them as well.

It's very hard to remove inlays. Idon't really think its worht it personally. Itst easier to just get a new neck with the inlays you want.
I personally don't like my current inlays too much but I don't mind them. I wouldn't even bother with neck replacement.

I'd just say buy a new neck with the inlays you like. I'm starting to hate the look of "metal" inlays, hasn't anyone heard of plain ol' dots?

My favorite guitar has no inlays at all on the fingerboard. Plain and I like it fine.
