    I saw your message to knotlenny on fret noise with a slide.  Your photo shows pretty good action - string height above the frets.  If you want to play slide the keys include keeping a light touch on the slide and keeping parallel to the strings - flat over the strings and better yet to drag your index finger behind the slide - actually dragging it lightly on the strings -to reduce slide noise.  

    Again, your string height looks to be where many like it.  Myself, for slide, a higher action -like a quarter inch - at the 1th fret.   A bigger bolt for the saddle could do that.

    Good day,

    I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and demand it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on(maugustinazian@gmail.com) for the full details.

    Have a nice day.
    Mr.Augustin
