Nothing wrong with off the shelf but if you want something that is yours you can choose thread colors that you won't see at a shop and truely make it a custom.

Sounds like you want a decent rod without going over the top. If it were me this is what I'd go with.

I'd go with Fuji Alconite guides either all purpose spinning BSVAG or the k's KWAG .

Go with EVA grips. I am partial to the heavy duty graphite real seats, nice and smooth. Fuji DPSH.

Give the reel spooled up with braid to whomever is going to wrap it for it really needs to be test cast to make sure the stripper guide is a good spot with no line slap.

Good luck.
