If it is epoxy then you are going to struggle.
If it is hot hide glue then you just heat it with a hairdryer and use a seam separation knife to pry it apart a little at a time.
If it is titebond then you do the same as hot hide glue but it takes a lot longer.
Another way to do it is to use a heating blanket.

it takes a while to start but is fairly easy once you get going

the tools
Just beginning - it takes about 10-20 minutes to get to this stage with a normal yellow glue like titebond. note the foil in the background. I use that to protect the iron from wood oils and finish, don't want those staining my work shirts
it then takes another 5 miinutes to get to this stage - wiggling the knife down every so often... i i keep a hammer near by to gently tap the blade down if needed
comes off pretty cleanly most of the time
i have done this loads of times on various guitars and have only struggled when someone else has obviously already replaced the board badly and used an unsuitable glue.
If i was planning to re-use the board i would clamp it to a flat board for a few days and then judge to see if it was viable.
