Default Need new guides on old rod

I have an old glass rod that I'd like to possibly have new ones put on. Never built one or know how much it would cost. I don't want or need anything special. Any recommendations thanks

Put up a close up picture of one of the guides and lets see what were dealing with.

Depending on current condition it can be a easy task or a difficult one.

And yes it can be done fairly inexpensively.

I did this with an old Wright McGill Northwest Special, it was fairly easy. I found a rod building book (can't remember who by) at my local library and read up on positioning and tying guides as well as what to seal with. After ordering a guide set, thread and some Permagloss from Angler's Workshop, it was done in a day. Pretty fun to do it your self if you're into that.
