with a  slider  ..    the  neck   does not "need"  to  be  flush  with  the  box  or  higher  . 

 but  ..       adding a fretboard  and  having it at least  flush    does  add  some benefits .

 it  looks  better  ,  

it adds   strength  to  the  neck  .

adds a better    string break angle at  nut  .

and  having  it  at least  flush    , will   usually  allow the option  of  some  fingering  on the higher  notes   without bottoming  out   hitting the  neck step  etc  . 

you also  get  to  use  cool  stuff  like     yardsticks  ,   wood trim  ,     leather  belts    ,  chalk board    etc  ..  without  worry.   etc etc .
