Cracked finish...could this be fixed

The top on the IBANEZ was probably cracked when they took off the pickup rings to buff the gold off the pickup tops.... it stemmed FROM the hole, and then traveled wherever it wanted.

And, FWIW, the top on my LP Standard (faded) that I clear coated with semi gloss Deft, then buffed out to a sort of "vintage gloss" is just starting to show some stress lines that I know are going to be check marks.  Bring 'em on says I .

 
In my opinion, cracks and checks in a finish just look better in lacquer than poly.  Poly is a great looking finish, but I don't think it wears as nicely as lacquer.
