Nitrocellulose lacquer over shellac works fine, many builders use shellac as a sealer. Acrylic lacquer will also go over shellac as will most poly type finishes, I don't know about melamines. Basically from my experience almost any spirit based product will mix with nitrocellulose lacquer; however when you get into long chain molecule products like acrylics and poly's strange things can happen. Before mixing or overcoating it's best to try a test patch. Tints for nitrocellulose lacquer tend to be kind of weak and expensive. We eventually found that leather dyes work fine. They are alcohol based, cheap, extremely concentrated and have a myriad of colors for mixing. We were told they wouldn't work of course, sometimes the only way to learn about such things is to perform your own experiments. There is an amazing amount of mythology associated with guitar making.
