Are the curved side of the saddles all meant to be facing the tail stop? The PB ones don't. The G brand ones do.

I would assume that reslotting the saddle should be similar to the nut, and the slot should have a break angle to the tail stop? This is difficult when the saddle is face the other way.

Anyway, I rotated the 3 low string saddles around. I'm not sure if it made any difference.
I just took a look at my epi LP and the low string saddles curve towards the neck, the 3 high saddles curve away from the neck.
