Saberhead Custom Sabers and Conversions
Adept at custom installs of virtually any available hilt, crammer of crystal chambers into difficult builds. Tackling the "unconvertable" in free-time for 4+ years. Now offering machining services and custom saber designs and builds.
Every saber is different, as is every install. Each job I take on is a custom install for that saber so the price for the conversion fluctuates depending on:
Saber make
Electronics wanted
What is provided vs what Saberhead Custom Sabers and Conversions provides
Please understand when you request a quote based off of a design it takes 2-3 hours for me to figure out costs, and come up with a price. I request all inquires be relatively serious. I understand if you are “pricing” Saber-smiths, but also keep in mind with some sabers, large amounts of time are put into figuring out if I can DO what you are wanting and building your custom quote.
What Saberhead Custom Sabers and Conversions Requires (Saberhead CSC)
Got a saber you'd like an install quote on? I need pics of the saber assembled and if possible dissassembled if it's not a more mainstream saber, as well as a listing of what you want electronically inside and what you will be providing sent to me via PM here.
