First Build LP 1M

Hi all,

I am starting my first guitar build. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am a wood worker, so I am confident, just don't want to screw it up.
I am looking for advice on finishes. I would like to do an emerald to forest green cover. Any thoughts on products?

I will be using a bunch of burle for accents on this guitar, including a veneer on the mahogany headstock, and I intend to replace much of the plastic with burle as well (pick guard, pickup rings, etc...).
