Woah! Good luck with it. I'll be following this closely.

Good luck!
I was thinking about this thread when I bid on a bent up nylon string twelve string on ebay...turns out it's probably a one piece neck/centre block and is going to be a real challenge to reset!

Re: Ive fallen in love with a guitar that needs a neck reset..
i've done this exact thing with an old archtop.
fret-pull, drilled, steamed.
It was my first time trying anything like that, and it all turned out fine.
You may need to get a small plastic mallet, to persude that glue joint to let go. Guitars are pretty sturdy, so don't let it scare you.
i didn't read the whole thead, is the fretboard overhang loose yet?
that can be a little tricky to lift. Heat, and a super thin palette knife is what i used.
