Just this one point... I know from experience that that crud can build up in just five years, and be removed surprisingly effectively.

It’s the headstocks that give it away. You can see how the tar leaves indelible marks when exposed to cigarette smoke for long periods.

 

Hells point is there’s often an inconsistency between wear on the body and wear on the headstock.

 

On the bodies there will always be fading on the main body of a guitar when compared to the finish underneath.

Didn’t they use nitro on the headstocks and that’s why they discoloured more than the poly body from 68 ish
