What's the best way to do it?
A little background - I'm planning on making a semi-hollow body, but feel like making a neck from scratch is a bit out of my league right now, so I plan to snatch one off of a guitar.

One of these, to be exact. I'm gonna take the hardware and such off it too. (any thoughts on these guitars would be appreciated as well).
So, I want to take off the neck without damaging the body. I realize I could just saw the thing off, but I'd like to keep the body intact. I'm also planning on bolting on the neck to the new body rather than gluing it in.
Thoughts?
Thanks fellow forumers!
