There may be good reasons to avid water based finish, this is not one of them.
Just seal the wood with shellac before you apply it. I have finished several guitars with water based products.
Joel,
You could probably have good results with a water based product called Crystalac. The advantage of using it is that it burns into the previous coat. There are no nasty fumes and it dries pretty fast.
