Gutswillcontradict with Lum Berry.

Guts is only in effect whilst the Pokemon is suffering from a major status ailment, curing the status will thus remove the boosted attack.

Source:

Flavor text from the games:Generation III : Ups Attackif suffering.Generation IV : Boosts Attackif there is a status problem.Generation V: Boosts Attackif there is a status problem.Generation VI: Boosts the Attack statif the Pokémon has a status condition.

Smogon:Attack is increased 50%when afflicted by a non-volatile status.

Our own dear Pokemon DB:Guts raises the ability-bearer’s Attack by 50%when inflicted by a major status ailment(poison, burn, paralysis, freeze or sleep).

So in short, Guts only works when the Pokemon suffers from a status problem.

The Pokémon would keep it’s attack boost as long as it doesn’t switch out. These kinds of berry strategies are used for several builds for Pokémon. The good news about a burn on a Guts Pokémon is that there is no Attack drop.

EDIT: I may be mistaken but I believe Sleep does not affect the activation of guts.
