WELCOME to the forum!

Most music store shops don't have a heat press. Honest to goodness luthier shops will almost always have both heat and steam equipment since it is required in the bending of wood to make guitars. Some music store shops have contacts to outsource the project to a competent luthier, which sometimes involves shipping the neck and an extended turn around time. Other music store shops won't have any idea where to take it.

Contact a trusted music shop nearby, possibly one where you have bought things and they know you. Ask them who they would recommend. If you are still unable to locate anyone, click on the REFINISH, RESTORE & MAJOR REPAIR page of my site. Click on that link from the RESOURCES page link in my signature below. I'm pretty sure that Third Coast Guitar, Guitar Specialist Inc., Galloup Guitars, Atlanta Guitar Works and others on this page have a heat press and everyone listed who doesn't have one will have access to someone who does.

As to how much it costs, inlays and bindings can run the price up as they have to be removed or otherwise protected during the heat process.

Good luck with your project!
