Hi I just took off the Elixirs the guitar came with and put on some Rotosound TruBronze (I thought that these were the "contact core" strings but they weren't) and the I found the string winding of the top two strings (E and B) to lie entirely over the saddle (by several mms). The third string was very close to coming over, just at its limit I would say. Needless to say, I didn't leave the top two on and got two from another rotosound pack of the same guage that I had (Jumbo kings) which fit fine.

I noticed on that the Elixirs I had on before the change had windings of the bottom two strings "close" (E and A) to the saddle too but not touching it. Does this guitar have an unusually short length for this area (it does have a slotted bridge) or is this pack of TruBronze strings just strangely long in windings?
