    Yep. Pick nailed it. All his reasons are good.

    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 .

      ;-)

        cheers  mike  .  i  have a   few crazy  builds   where  it   just   couldnt  be  flush  .  etc  ..   like the  telephone   body  i   used  etc  ..  and  they  all  play  fine as  sliders  .
