That's not wood, or nitro, it's just a nasty case of toenail fungus
I wonder if it might be the wood type, seasoning, under lacquer paint or other treatments?
Over to the more experienced FB'ers to find the true answers.
Good luck.

It’s about the same consistency as a candle in some parts.
Shocking build quality and cheap Honduran or Brazilian wood at the time no doubt
I'm afraid that the only thing is to strip and refinish.
Whichever it is, SteveRobinson is right - you'll need to strip it all off back to the wood and refinish the whole neck.
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
I’m pretty sure it’s not been refinished there’s bits on the front where the dye has faded the same way but just not gone tacky.
There’s also bits where it hasn’t fade and has gone tacky.
you can see some of the bigger cracks run through old unfaded parts of the original finish with the nitro really solid and the same cracks continue through faded bits where the finish has gone tacky
I mean, just with the guitar.
Not being judgemental of lifestyle choices, but the brain eating thing deserves to be marginalised
Veganism is definitely the thing
I have fresh laquer that's better than that

This probably does it more justice
the top of the guitar has faded the same way.
steve is local.
thanks @Kittyfrisk ;
I might drop in after pay day
despite the name... I rarely eat brains... although I do more often than I eat vegan food
Hope you get your SG sorted.
That's my impartial, uninformed attempt to help.
