seems ok but i would like to hear from those with more experiance than myself. i am using alconites, 20mm reel seat, and a 1.125 'x 1"x 5"foregrip.

i have 26" from the butt to the center of the reel.
26" to the first guide
12", 11", 10", 9", 8", 7", 6.5", 6",6", tip top.

this keeps the line off the blank but i was wondering if the first guide is too close?

I don't it's neccesarily too close, but can't really say for sure without having your set up here to look at. But 26 inches to the center of the seat isn't out of line. I'm guessing you're probably in the ballpark.
