No problems at all, it will work just fine as Hank says. Depending on the length of the rod, you may or may not get all the transition guides on the butt section of the rod. For the couple I have done, I was able to get them all on the butt section and the tip section we all guides on the bottom of the blank.

Fine, but what if there are some transition guides on the tip section? Will the tip top and running guides keep it from turning?

It won't turn, no worry. I've done big surf rods with only the stripper guide on the butt section.
