That's backwards from the traditional setup on a Gibson style bridge.  The screw heads are supposed to be on the pickup side (so the screws are pointed toward the stop tail piece).


But I've seen guitars set up opposite, like yours.  I think the determining factor here is the divots in the saddles.  The saddles with the larger divots should be used for the larger strings. 


All that said, you should probably check with the GT tech pro to be sure!
