This sort of work will destroy the back bindings and most likely leave you needing a refinish.
This is a very involved job and honestly - it's probably easier to just go ahead and build your own guitar from scratch.
The ones we see people doing this on most are the ones with no back bindings. They are way easier to do. Then - you just very gently work a thin pallet knife (or razor blade) and alcohol into the glue joint - and crack crack crack - the hide glue comes loose.
Whatever you decide - post some pix.
Thanks
