I was thinking of a feature proposal. Once you have placed a guide on the canvas, if you wish to know its exact position you should have a snapping tool and watch carefully on the status bar for the right value, isn't it? I don't see any other quick solution on this. What I was thinking about is a simple addon for the rulers: whenever you mouseover the guide (as it turns red) on the ruler will appear a tiny yellow label with the guide position. This will help alot in working with guides.

what do you think? should I make a preview for it?

Hello

That doesn't sound insane, I suggest you forward this to the GIMP UI folks for consideration, you will find links at:
