Will naptha remove (Meguiar's yellow) wax from a guitar' surface before refinishing? If not, what will work? Thanks in advance.

I would start with varsol, then naptha then an ammonia and water mix for final clean up.

Call your local auto re-finish supplier, they have things designed to specifically remove waxes and silicones.
