If you mean the 6'2" then here are the measurements within a 
millimetre or two.  The exact figure for note 88 I don't know but 50 
will be fine.

1     141.6 cm.
20    108.2
21    120.4
88      5.0 (+-2)

The bass lengths are good for the 6 foot pre-A as well.  I understand 
they made a 6'4" at some point but I don't think they came over here.
