Quick question: can you use a burst finish on a walnut body?

[cuthbert]

Or is that wood to dark for anything that is not clear?

You can burst a mahogany body (Les Paul Jr), but that burst has a lot of pigment in it. So - should be possible, but it won't be a transparent burst. Might end up looking like... a Les Paul Jr!!

I am asking because as a matter of fact I like mahogany burst, but Warmoth refuses to ship that timber internationally (despite of other competitors not having issues with that) so I was looking for an alternative. However for walnut they just offer clear finish and I wonder if this wood is too dark for accepting a burst finish.
