New JP70 breaking High E

I used to have this problem on my Stealth JP50. I would break 1-2 strings (sometimes 3 -- and sometimes the same string over and over again) a night during gigs! I live in CT, so I took my guitar Nick and Pete DuBaldo and there was pretty bad saddle wear. I ultimately had them put on Graph Tech String Saver Saddles on my JP50. Haven't had a string break issue since then. In fact, I've been gigging regularly on the guitar (minimum of 1 4hr gig a week plus time spent on it during the week) with lots of whammy abuse and I still have the same set of strings on the guitar from when I had the work done.

Something to think about...
 
Thanks for the reply Guitarshreda, I guess if I don't solve it any other way I'll have to do something like that.
I've attached a photo showing the same type of string breakage as MirgraneBoy203.
Any reports on the bridge replacements that was sent out a while ago?
