I always get customers asking for lacquer over the top of jobs and I always have to explain this point. Latest case was a guy I painted a Morris 1000 for in 2k soild black. He paid £300 for the black and another £200 on lacquer he thought he needed. He got the £200 back and a very high shine black car back.
It's different for metallic, obviously. They need to be lacquered to seal in the flake.
It's your guitar though, if you want lacquer then go for it. Me, I wouldn't bother.
Russ if you've any colour left over try some out on a test bit of something, see if it polishes up. If so you're all sorted, less money & faff too.
I've just hand polished (elbow greased not machined!) an acoustic guitar that had matt single pack varnish on it in my lunch break. Came up lovely! Hopefully you'll have the same success Russ. Cheers Bill (the Messiah)

Hi DM, I rarely use a can the last Halfords can was to do a quick repair on a Lexus, it was that satiny base finish that came up a treat with a 2k smart repair clear over it. They might do topcoat 1k as well? Dunno. I just grabbed right colour off the rack without looking around much.
Hand polished, proper I've been doing my Landy lately, so nice to just spray up in one session and walk away done, no worries about perfection, no flat & polish needed, bliss
Sorry for the thread hijack Russ
