does anyone have a recommendation for guide spacing for a 10ft. (8wt) 4 piece rod?

I've been looking for a 10' 8wt for a while myself... What did you get?
Just the other day I ended up buying a rod that I'm very happy with for cheaper than I could buy a blank
but I'm still curious
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.

I bought a Fiver Rivers Blank from Dan Craft Enterprises. This is the second one I have built on. The first was a 9ft. 6wt - 4 piece. The first one worked out just fine.
I know there are some good rods out there for about $150 -- such as Echo and Temple Forks.
Thanks for your reply.
I received the spacing below from Dan Craft as part of an email when I requested spacing for a rod. Hope this helps or you could email Dan Craft to confirm.
