Hi,
does anyone know if Warmoth offers this finish?
This seems a cherry burst variation, but center is more orange/amber than yellow (as standard on cherry).
Ah, this is a Prs McCarty if this can help.
Thanks for help.

If you email them the pic they can probably get real close. may be an upcharge for custom color, check the webpage for that
 
Mailed image to Spike, he told me they can do this finish this way: "That looks like our amber dye finish. That can be done with a trans brown back with standard burstover to achieve the finish you sent pretty nicely". So this will be easy. I've only a doubt about that trans brown back, i don't know finishes so this can be right, but from my image it seems more red than brown. Suggestions?
Thanks.

Here's a Black Korina body with a Warmoth Trans Amber finish:

No where close; that appears to be PRS Black Cherry burst; closest stock W. finish would be trans red:

But that's not spot on, maybe if back was done trans brown, bursted?

If Spike think that looks like trans amber, ask him to go show the pic to one of the guys that actually sprays paint...

You have trans amber finish on a korina (this is greyish wood, right?), so this finish looks darker/more grey than a dyed amber on flame maple.
Look here

This finish seems much more orangish than your trans amber finish IMHO.
Also found this:
http://www.guitarresurrection.com/prsinventory.html
That finish looks like "Dark Cherry Sunburst" or maybe "Violin amber burst", i think "Black Cherry Burst" is not the finish i'm serching.
I think this finish can be done with trans red back and red burstover over amber dye.
Maybe this is right way, not sure, what you think?
Thanks again for your very useful suggestions.

That may come close...
