Fretboard Inlays

I have a fretboard that has no inlays on it. It has the dots on the top of the guitar (edge of fretboard). I'm thinking that I may add some inlays. It's a 24 fret guitar and it gets really tight way up there and without inlays, I get lost at times when soloing.

Do you guys have any links of good inlay websites and photos? What's your favourite type of inlay? Material, looks, feel?

If you want professional quality inlays, your fretboard will need to be routed a lot. It's a long and expensive process. You might be able to find some stickers, but they might peel off. Just learn to play without looking at the fretboard. Learn nice and slowly. It'll really pay off.

Uh you have fret markers on top of the fretboard. Give it a few weeks and you'll be over it.
