This does sound like a tricky one. I’m not sure about the glue Gibson used in 1957. I can tell you that I’ve done a neck reset on a 1961 LG0 with a mahogany top. That reset seemed like any other normal reset. However, I use a mini plastic seal iron that I can adjust the temperature on. I can crank that up to 350+ degrees if I need, but usually I can get the extension to release at around 180-200 degrees and go slow.. Most glues, even epoxy I believe will release at around 180 degrees. Can you place a digital thermometer on the fingerboard with your 100 watt halogen light? When I first started doing resets I used a 250 watt heat lamp. It worked, but I felt uncomfortable having a 5″ bulb above a 2.5″ fretboard even with foil and cardboard baffles to protect the top. The picture shows the iron I use. That is not a Gibson LG0.

I have a website and at one time I had both a Facebook Personal Page and a Business Page. It got to be too much to maintain, I would miss messages on the Business Page, etc. I ditched the Business Page and now I do all my business on my FB personal page. I would guess 60% of my appointments are made on Facebook messenger. But I have one rule and I stick to it. My Personal Facebook page is for business only.

I’m still using my old Hold Heet I purchased 30+ years ago. However, if it ever quits working, I’m looking at those new Japanese ramen cookers with adjustable heat.

I don’t have possession of the guitar anymore, but I believe it was an F385.
