I have a 2017 Standard Tele MIM
I'm planning to change the saddles
which string spacing should I choose?
11,2mm or 10,8mm?
and if I change the whole bridge with Gotoh GT202
would it be fit?
thank you

If you're changing the saddles only and sticking with the same bridge baseplate, measure the current string separation and go with that size for your new saddles. If your bridge is built for the narrow spacing, wider saddles won't fit. If your bridge is for the wider spacing and you fit narrow saddles, they'll have gaps between them and will be able to move sideways - not a disaster but not pretty, either.

One other thing to note: some saddles have the intonation screw set centrally, for others it's offset to one side. Make sure you get the correct replacements!

I don't know the Gotoh bridge, sorry. But if its dimensions exactly match those of your original bridge, including all the mounting screw holes, then it should fit. You need to check all the measurements carefully.

Out of interest, why do you want to change the bridge? Just asking.
