I agree, any guitar can be played with a
slide, with any string gauge or action height. It's much more demanding of sensitive technique to play with light strings and a low action. But I've long seen my teacher grab random guitars off the music store racks for lessons and play stuff so sweet it'll bring tears to your eyes. Some time back I bought a little Epiphone that came with .008s on it and, being a cheapskate, I played it for about 2 months like that before putting heavier strings on it, first .010s and later .012s. The fatter strings have a great tone and I don't have to concentrate quite as hard, but playing it with those .008s, low action and the slide was good for me.
Some guitars (like Fenders) have a narrow, very arched string layout. A bottleneck that's got a slight concave curve on the sides works a lot better on these than a straight-sided slide.
