Slotted bridges are mainly for guitars with, say, a trapeze style tailpiece - where the string fixings don’t necessarily have the same string spacing as the strings passing over the saddle. Consequently, slotting is necessary to keep the string courses in place. I’m not aware of any fixed bridge guitar that comes with a slotted saddle.
