I just pulled the neck from my FG-180. It took about 8 hours of off and on steam to get er done.
Just make sure you don't OVER steam at any one time, laminates do not like steam or water.
I use a very thin spatula (VERY THIN) and as I steam I carefully slide the spatula into the gap. I let the entire joint cool, then proceed to another area of the joint. Eventually just when you get to the point that you say, "This **** thing isn't coming off, Bam, it come off."
Once you start, either you finish, or the guitar is pretty much ruined. So unless you have determination to succeed, DON'T START. It is time consuming, so don't expect the quick results you get with a normal neck removal, these are stubborn animals.
JMHO
