Has anyone tried Heat vs Steam to loosen glue?

Hey, John! What kind of neck joint does it have? I'm curious to see if it has a butt joint like that old Tak you and I hacked to pieces.
FWIW I have a friend out in Oregon who reset the neck on his old Yamaha using a Japanese pull saw because it was a butt joint. Naturally, he also had to redo the bridge position just because.
PS: I also have an Epi that is a candidate for a neck reset, but it's one of those Texans with the electric style bolt on joints.
