Removing Yellowed, Cracked Lacquer from Binding and Peghead Top Only

Hi Everyone,

Lacquer on the fretboard binding is cracked and missing, and peghead has badly split lacquer.

Is there a chemical for removing old, yellowed, cracked lacquer from fretboard binding (that obviously won't melt the plastic binding)?

I'm thinking of some chemical applied with a q-tip to just hit the binding, and not get it on the neck.  Same approach on the peghead surface; (peghead is ebony with MOP inlay).  So also, a chemical that won't do damage or odd things to the MOP.

And then recoat binding with amber-tinted lacquer, and peghead with clear, from Stewmac.

Does this make sense?  Suggestions?

Rest of finish is in great shape, so I obviously would like to avoid refinishing the whole thing if poss.
