Assuming Warmoth doesn't take special burst requests, where else could I get a burst color like this?
There doesn't seem to be a burst available like this through Warmoth.

The top kinda reminds me of cherry, not the fruit or the color, but the wood.

There was a strat replacement body in the showcase not long ago, that was padouk finished in black to clear burst, that looked similar colorwise, though the figuring of padouk is very different.

It's very hard to predict how different transparent finishes look like on different woods.
 
I have a Tele almost the same, but don’t recall the finish name. Here it is next to my Bourbon Burst. It’s substantially darker, so maybe a smokehouse burst ?

Doesn't sound like a bad idea, but the builder won't let you do a burst on padouk. Maybe they would if I asked?

I've seen it, so it should be possible. But asking is always a good idea.

Maybe brown to clear burst is even better, depends a little on what you wanna do with the back.

Any exotic the builder only allows clear, but if you call they’ll do black to clear and brown to clear. There have been some awesome looking brown to clear koa tops I’ve seen.

Apparently that is a violin burst lacquer finish over a straight-grained ash body according to a search I did of your image.


The closest Warmoth offer is most likely Tobacco burst, but not in nitro.
