What's the reason for such a change?

Increases break angle over the saddles. That should help sustain and combat strings jumping off of saddles. Looks like it changes the break angle to almost the same as a buzz-stop would. I'd be happier to see grooved barrel saddles on it. That should be an easy mod as long as the stud spacing is the same. Since I won't even be getting any of these until at least June (maybe with a nice used Roland Jazz Chorus amp) the Elvis Costello sig is still the frontrunner.
