Guitar decoration (5)

I believe the answer is:

inlay

(Other definitions for inlay that I've seen before include "Filling shaped to fit a tooth cavity" , "Decoration of a surface by inserting wood, stone or metal" , "Inserted decoration" , "Insert wood, stone or metal into a surface" , "CD booklet" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com and the Newsday.
