I completely agree with you. I am not a fan of the ornate inlays either. I am planning on doing something which incorporates the side dots and front position markers into one element. Maybe just a strait...say 1/8" wide, channel that comes right off the side of the board and extends about 3/4" towards the center. (hope this makes sense) I have some corian samples that I took from Home depot to use. They are white with some very subtle bluish specks.

That sounds similar to a lot of Stehr guitars. Here's an example, with purfling from the binded neck following the fretmarker. Very classy imo.

Also, recon stone is a great option for inlay. I wondered for a long time how the masters got all their unique colors that obviously weren't shell.
