  slide guitar questions

hey guys. i dont play slide guitar as of now but i want to get into it. if you could answere some of my questions thad be awsome. firstly, i know the old lap slides, such as the weissenborn, didnt have frets. what would be the advantages/disadvantages of a fretless neck. second, im looking to order a new guitar from the taylor custom shop soon. what i want to buy is a grand concert taylor with an all koa body, and a 1 7/8ths inch neck,plus some other stuff that has no relevance to the topic. would i be able to use this guitar for lap slideing as well as regular slideing. and would the frets get in the way at all? i want the guitar primarily for fingerpicking, but would also like to use if for sliding because of the koa body, and when im dropping a couple grand for it, might as well get as much use as possible out of it. so any other comments or advice you could give would be much appreciated. thanks.
