Is there a practical reason for this?

Want to affect the harmonic content? Turn up the treble in your amp. Done.

Turning up the treble amplifies what's there. It doesn't create it.

He used the word "affect" -which would not be incorrect, and it doesn't technically create content yes, -so you guys can celebrate both being correct.

Are you saying that with the saddles adjusted correctly (parallel to the body) the guitar does NOT sound good, but when you tilt them sideways the guitar DOES sound good?

Re: Is there a practical reason for this?

I am saying that I bought a bass recently that had the saddles angled in this manner, which I had never encountered before. And it sounds very good. So I decided to try the same thing on a couple of guitars that have the same bridge styles and they sounded good before but they might sound even a tad bit better now.
So, I was pretty much wondering if this type of setup was some sort of secret spice or just one of those things that someone did to set themselves apart from other luthiers.
