Giving credit to those involved is always nice even in the form of a necrobump...
Your guitar looks like Northern Lights on a dark winter night, the ebony filler is definitely boosting the grain patterns and the green looks just about right at least compared to the best photos of Aurora Borealis. In reality they're often not that fascinating as theres so much light pollution fading the dancing lights, your guitar captures the 'true nature' of them.
Thanks.
I’ll post another pick after I clear and finish building it out. I have a solid Rosewood neck and brushed nickel hardware. It will be a few weeks yet.

Used this post as I was trying to design my project. It had good advice.
This is a solid piece of I bleached mahogany.
grain-filled with ebony timbermate.
I got a good couple coats of sanding sealer and then used Createx Colors candy2o Emerald Green in their UV clear base (per their data sheet (and a smidge of distilled water because I forgot to by the reducer and it seemed a touch thick).
Laid it on thick on the edges for the burst.
Turned out pretty good. I still need to give it a coat of 2k and final sand / buff.

I can’t find the edit button for a autocorrect on a typo. The mahogany on mine is un-bleached.
I just mention that because it’s mentioned that it might have been done on the other warmoth guitar. I debated myself If I wanted to try to lighten the red out but ultimately decided against that.
