Here's my take on it...

Move that stripper down to 24" at the max, this serves two purposes. Gets the line next to the cane faster and allows better line control. Now you have the placement of the stripper and the tip top and all you have to do is fill in the middle. Lay the rod out on a table with a tape measure next to it and start placing your snakes, first at 4.5", next at 5" and so on till you get to the butt section and then increase the distance by 1" more between guides. Make small adjustments and/or add a snake to the mix if needed. Once you have it worked out tape the guides in place and take her for a spin. Try difference layouts and see how they perform as well, this will give you so insight into guide placement. In my eye's there are no standard guide placement as each rod is an individual...
