I was just reading on how to inlay, and that makes sense! Thank You Beal!
So, those full fretboard inlays don't have to be that precise, you just need to be able to clean up well, and sand?

Location: 6 String Ranch		The good ones make the hole the same size. Look up Larry Robinson on facebook. He's from Connecticut and one of the best. Now with laser c&c machines all the fits are pretty precise. A little different from 40 years ago.

Some do it by hand. I'm not sure how to describe Ervin Somogyi... Luthier doesn't quite do him justice.
