Hi, I had a Tricone .. clone ... A Triclone ? then a National Style "O" deluxe which was a beauty but too heavy and too loud.
Here it is, and yes, I thought of it as mainly a slide instrument.
I swapped it for a National Estralita which has a wooden body, and so softer tonally and, lighter.
Neither of these instruments were designed (round neck versions) for slide playing, but as "Orchestra Models" and so side isn't an essential part of their use:
