When you overset a neck you have to run a high saddle, a high saddle loads up the saddle slot and risks breaking the bridge in half

According to an authorized Martin Service Center they are not, they said Martin uses .094 as their spec. The Martin in the picture is my 1998 HD-28 that has great action right now with a measurement of .070 at 12th fret. The string height above the top is 1/2", with a good break angle at the saddle, right were it needs to be for optimum tone and volume. The bridge has never broken.
