Metallic Inlays?

I did it on mine:

-I used steel 3/8" rod, cut into 1/8" thick pieces.

-Wet sanded one surface to a mirror-like surface with 2000 grit sandpaper.

-Wrapped in a layer of shrink tubing (to blend in with the black stain).

-Glued the markers in the holes just slightly below the surface of the fretboard.

-Because of the mirror-like finish, I was able to adjust each one so they were all level on the same plane.

-Once the glue had dried, I placed a few drops of liquid finish on the top, creating a sandable surface.

-I had already applied the radius to the fretboard before doing this.
