I recently ordered a guitar with a maple neck that will be arriving soon. I wanted to achieve a "roasted" effect without actually heat-curing the wood, which would require removing frets and everything.

If I wanted to achieve a similar effect by staining the neck, what I would I have to do as far as preparation beforehand? Would I need to do any sanding assuming that the neck doesn't have a glossy finish? And would a stain discolor mother of pear inlays?

Staining the neck would require removing the frets and would discolor the inlays. You're SOL. There's a reason people who know what they're doing stain/burn the neck BEFORE putting this shit into it.

If you must do this (and I would strongly urge you to not do this) then I suggest you buy a beater guitar to practice on first, or just buy a cheap maple neck from Ebay and ruin that before you move onto killing the resale value of your new guitar.

I can't go without mentioning once more what a terrible idea I think this is and what an ass you will feel after you destroy your new guitar.

This. The regret you will feel isn't worth it.
