The cables on my '87 Waterford-built Paramount just run through brazed on guides with capture loops, while my new Waterford has a separate plastic guide with capture loops screwed to the BB shell with a machine screw.

I agree with Roger that a couple of inches of delrin or teflon tubing to prevent the cable from metal to metal wear would be a good idea.
