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. JD </tt></pre> </div>  </div> </div> </font>
