(I'm assuming you do need one for a plain G string.)

I was under the impression there would be definitive differences between a bridge designed for straight posts and a bridge designed for angled ones. For example the angle/amount of compensation? Surely one can’t do both?
You will end up with it not parallel to the stud centreline though. On angled studs you'll find the bass side is set a lot shorter than the treble side.

When the studs are set into the body with the low E string side further from the nut than the high E side, little or no correction along the top surface of the bridge should be necessary. e.g. Gordon-Smith GS-1.
If you require full adjustability, combined bridge/tailpiece designs exist but, arguably, their complex construction has some effect on tone.
