Having built a Les Paul, it’s not an issue, though I used dyes instead of stain. If oil stain, then use a traditional oil based lacquer and you shouldn’t have an issue.
FYI: lacquer takes about a year to fully cure. It’ll cure to about 80% after 30 days - this is important as it shrinks during those 30 days. If you do your final sanding and buffing the next day after the final coat, in 30 days you’ll see the effects of the shrinkage. Also, as far as hardness, once fully cured, lacquer has the same hardness as Polyurethane - I’ve done the tests. Benefit of poly is that you can do the final sanding/buffing days after the last coat is applied.
