Not necessary, a good blade and a good band saw do not need guides at
all.

I've re-sawed 8" on my old Delta without any guides at all.
Co-planer wheels, good tension, and a sharp, true blade are much more
important than guides. I would go so far as to say guides were
invented to make up for crappy manufacturing and lazy woodworkers who
don't take the time to set up their saws.
