                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a Jet Slide. I've not used it a lot, because I'm primarily a bottlenecker. The Jet Slide is mainly intended for people who primarily play with standard fretting and want to be able to throw in a slide solo then go back to unfettered fretting. (Think folks who play in standard tuning with a band.) For that it's ideal! It is on the light side for playing on very heavy strings. Works well with the light strings most people use on electrics. It is very easy to flick it down for sliding, and it basically goes out of the way by itself when you let go of the tab. Mine is very well made, and it will do just what it's intended to do quite well. I think it's the best of the "intermittent slide" options available.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Having strings a little thicker and higher than you're probably used to makes it easier not to crash into the fretboard, and also reduces the likelihood of the strings pulling away from the slide and buzzing with a light touch, but once you really develop the "muscle memory" for where the slide needs to stop, you can slide on any guitar. My teacher used to usually grab a random new guitar off the store racks to play with me. Avoid things like extended nuts. (I'm biting my lip here.) They get in the way of fretting, which you should be able to do to play bottleneck, with reasonably good intonation. And you really don't gain much of use with extremely heavy strings. I'd worked up to a .017-.070" set on my resonator. I've just switched that out to a Darco Jazz Light Electric Nickel .012-.052" set, same as I use on my electrics, and know what? It sounds better! Sure makes a difference in playing feel! <br> :shock:  :D]]></content:encoded>
