Slide
I saw Gordie Johnson (Grady) in Fredericton in Sept.He's one of the wickedest slide players I've ever seen/heard. The guys at Tony's Music Box were taking care of his guitars, and according to them he uses 14s with a medium high action: he tunes 'em down pretty low too. From my experience, I've tried playing slide on all my guitars and the easiest is on those with large fretboard radii; my favourite is my Washburn P290, with 12s tuned to D and set about 1/16" above my normal height.
