You want to play hendrix as well as slide you will need two guitars. Hendrix played in standard so unless you are going to slide in standard, it will drive you nuts retuning your guitar. You generaly use heavier strings for slide so that is also going to effect your ability to bend notes. You should consider an agile reso. It already has the pickups on it. I think it's cheaper than the fender. Frankly, I have never read about anyone being happy with the fender reso.
You can slide just fine on any electric. Take a slide with you to a music store and play everything. You can be surprised by how great some really cheap guitars are for slide. I have a Mann guitar with poorly wound humbuckers that just howls with a slide. It's the best slide guitar i have for dark tones. It is way better than my srv sig strat which cost 6 times more.
I just posted a tune I found hendrix played with a reso. hows that for timing.
