G-Lite guides?

There is a new type of guide on the 2010 Grey's rods out of the UK. They look like PB Minimas but have a very fine, thin ceramic ring. Grey's calls them G-Lite Ultralight SIC. Beautiful guides and appear to be very lightweight due to the extremely thin SIC ring. I see no reason why any ceramic ring needs to be as thick as most are. These seem to be a better idea. Am I missing something?
Does anyone here know where they are getting these? I doubt they make their own guides so there must be a 3rd party source somewhere. Thanks in advance. Re: G-Lite guides?

Batson Enterprises offers an ALPS guide with a thin ring. They may not be the same guide but they are very thin/very light Re: G-Lite guides?

Thanks, but the ALPS are still a lot thicker and heavier than the G-Lite guides. I did try Grey's website but they do not show the guides. E-mails have gone unanswered. I had seen these in a fishing magazine advertisement for their new spinning rods. Re: G-Lite guides?

No, no, no. These are very light guides with super thin ceramic rings. Nowhere near as heavy as any of those. Thanks for trying though. Re: G-Lite guides?

Good luck, perhaps Greys will answer you and then we'll all know. Re: G-Lite guides?

I have posted a request on a UK rod building forum... Perhaps someone there will know Re: G-Lite guides?

I've had no success in identifying these guides. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
