The "new nitro necks" don't yellow as much as the nitro necks from way back.
Dan Erlewine talks of the nitro available today as non-yellowing lacquer in his book and from what I heard the nitro available today is nothing like the one available 50/60 years ago.
You might notice a slight darkening over the years due to UV rays but that happens to both the lacquer and the wood underneath...

Cheers,

Sascha
