I don't know jack about Deans so I'm not sure about your bridge. If your guitar seemed intonated OK before I would say the saddle closest to the neck should be in the treble position. Many bridges on my guitars switch in the middle of the six, but the high E is almost always closer to the neck than the low E. I think it is because of the thickness of the strings being compensated for (ie the high E's angle contact point is closer because it's thinner) I hope someone that actually knows chimes in to help explain or dispute my thoughts.

If all else fails, just put it on! If it sounds like crap and out of tune, try it the other way. If it sounds equally bad both ways, that's a whole different matter I think.

Just my $.09 cents (adjusted for inflation :) )

Good luck,
