Well, if we're talking about the lovely bilirubin-colored "vintage toner" that gives so many guitars that fine jaundiced look these days, it doesn't seem to run terribly deep in the ones that I've encountered.
But there is one critical mission parameter.
Check to see what the finish is. If it's nitrocellulose lacquer, you might get away with it, as long as you don't thin the top too much in the process.
If, on the other hand, the guitar's finish is polyurethane, rather have someone smash your big toe with a four-pound engineer's hammer. You'll enjoy it far more than trying to sand off poly, plus you won't go bankrupt from buying sandpaper.
