I've decided (again...) to try and teach myself how to play slide, and have been using my telecaster for the time being. I was just curious about what kind of preferences people have about slide on electrics. Duane had his LP's, Derek Trucks has his '61 SG, etc. What do you guys prefer? How do humbuckers compare to single coils, what kind of body construction (solid, semihollow, etc) woods, neck joints, etc, contribute to a quality sound for slide.
Also, what kinds of slides do you prefer? I've been having a lot of fun playing with different objects and seeing the difference in tone. My parents run a glassware and ceramics company, which gives me a large pool of slide substitutes to pull from. (Lots of little novelty shot glasses and stuff which make for some pretty unique slides)
This isn't meant to be any kind of formal post with exact answers to the questions, just getting some banter going about slide guitar, etc, seeing what people have had experience with and what they liked.
