Rod Building - Part 15.1: Who's whistling?

So far I have done all the steps required to build a fly rod. But there is a but. I have been casting with the rod and there are a few things I'm not happy with:

• The stripping guides are making a sound like whistling with sand in your mouth.
• Guides in the tip section are not perfectly aligned.

I think I'm going to buy some acetone and take a few steps backwards...
