LTD EC-1000 Deluxe String Slipping Out Of Saddle

Hi All. I have a nice EC-1000 Deluxe that sounds and plays beautifully, however I have an issue with the bridge and saddles. Whenever i'm gigging I seem to hit the lowest string out of it's saddle quite a lot. I play very heavy music and I hit the strings very hard so I realise that's why it's happening, I'm just enquiring to see if anyone knows how to prevent it from happening, without me having to play less aggressively. I use a 70 gauge tuned to drop G sharp, and sometimes we tune up to B and even C sharp, and it still hapend it that tuning. Cheers!

Did you have the nut and saddle slots widened to accomodate strings that wide?  Deepening the slot in the bridge will solve the problem.

I haven't had that done, I thought something like that might help though, cheers.
