Not to mention, it looks like the intonation screws are facing inwards towards the pickup.

Sexy guitar though!

It doesn't actually matter what way the saddes or the bridge are facing as long as it intonates but if one way is more comfortable then go that way.

Well it can't hurt to try it the other way.

How does the single Invader sound?

It looks a bit sharp with the saddles looking for the other side.

Did you solve the problem?

resting your hand, and perfect position should never be int he same sentence

yeah, if flipping the bridge around doesn't help, maybe you could bust out a file, and smooth over the edge of the saddle.

both my dean and schecter have TOM bridges, and the dean's is in backwards (i think i did that last time i changed pickups) but its alredy intonated wiht it backwards so i didn't want to take it out. it doesn't bother me tho, so i dunno haha.

what does bother me, is my strat's bridge, its got an american two-pt floating trem, but the saddles are very square,and the sharp edge on the low E string scratches my hand, haha. i'll have to file it down one of these days.

TOMs suck.

Nick's guitar does not, however.

etohk is a jewel in the rough
I think that graphtec makes graphite saddle replacements...they might not be as sharp as the metal ones...
