In-lays are a bit intimidating to me right now but I haven't had to fix those, so I haven't researched it. Things like that. I did do a whole back refinish recently (not a vintage guitar) and that came out nice though I wished I had one of those Stewmac buffers.

Dot inlays are pretty easy with the right size forstner or brad point bit. I even recenly inlaid 5mm slotted squares with a 1/4" forstner into ebony. The Shop Fox buffer is identical to the old style Stew Mac buffer for 1/4 the price.
If you aren't stuck on a J-200 this looks like a pretty nice quality OM kit for the money, I think it's on sale now. Sides already bent.
The rosewood prevents me from buying it in Canada.
