If you still need to purchase guides, consider 2-foot K guides; they come in an Alconite version, they are considered more contemporary (might be more appealing to the recipients), more flexible (less risk of epoxy cracking around the feet), and lighter.

In my experience, one of the biggest impressions you can make with a custom rod is making it lighter than a factory version on the same blank.

Good luck.
