Thanks, shocky, but I was thinking more of the three-rod (or -rail) surround type tower.

WOOWOO! Now THAT is what I'm talking. That's a mighty fine hack. I was thinking of something like that, with drillings for a couple different sizes of rods/tubes so it could fit any size of vehicle. I'd thought of using solid rod, but with tube you could extend them if necessary.
What thickness of tubes would you suggest for mid- and large-size rockets?
Was it necessary to have the top piece that large to prevent shimmy in the tubes, or was that over-built?
I saw someone mention using PVC for stand-offs and found they were fairly flame resistant. Any thought on whether PVC would work for the guide tubes?
