I'd like to get a new neck for playing slide guitar.  I was thinking of getting a compound radius one with SS6100 frets.  This way I could use it for regular playing as well.  Is this a good idea?

Also, what is the best neck radius and fret size,  for playing slide guitar?  THX.

 
Pertaining to slide, a flat radius is supposed to be better for chords and a  rounder radius is better for single-line playing.  On that basis then, a compound radius should be better for chords on the higher registers, and better for single-line on the lower registers.  That's the opposite of regular playing.

Still don't know about the jumbo frets.
