I got the headstock inlay in tonight. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I chiseled out the hole for the inlay and then used superglue to glue the 1/32 inch thick piece of maple into the channel. I then used some sawdust from a piece of walnut (because its a dark wood) to fill in the gaps. Lesson learned for next time is to use sawdust from the same type of wood. You can tell that the center triangle in the A and around the edges are a slightly different color. From a distance of more than a few inches you wouldn't be able to tell though. And especially after its sanded down and with the finish applied, I think it will look good.
