Having designed and built over a dozen custom sabers, The Custom Saber Shop has always been my main source for DIY. As someone who watched an industry rise from the developments of custom builders, it blows my mind how many companies are benefiting from their innovations. The saber scene has really changed over the last 15 years. I remember hitting the refresh button to snag a Crystal Focus board when Erv was making them by hand. They were the only customizable sound option and sold out in seconds.

Thanks for the list! I happened to be looking up as many saber companies as I could the other day and tried to rank them myself. I have sabers from Ultrasabers, Nsabers, and Theory Sabers. I LOVE the Theory Sabers and that channel so I am biased, and the sabers I bought aren't even replicas. But my special edition Ahsoka saber from Nsabers is something really special.

Thise looking for a LGT / NEXUS reseller in the UK then Padawan Outpost are the best in the UK, they ship from their UK warehouse and their customer service is amazing They also dropship WW from factory. Here in the UK we dont have a TXQ well priced decent reseller, we have a couple but they are over priced and their service sucks. But Russel at Vaders Sabers dropships to the UK and he's very well priced and customer service is fantastic. Hes priced better than the 2 UK based dropshipers for TXQ products.. enjoyed this overview 😊

@@HyperdriveStarWars Jorge this is awesome video. Very well explained regarding all the companies and the pluses and minuses of Ali Express. Full disclosure I bought a saber from Ali express similar to the prodigal son EP VI shown on theory sabers. I had sticker shock when initially seeing all the sites. The saber Shipped fine everything worked. Probably jumped the gun to get a proffie. No resentment on the purchase but after watching your videos the last 6 months the sounds fonts is where it’s at.

I can’t say too much since I only have a handful but I have one from Ultrasabers, a few from SaberForge, and now a few from Theory Sabers. Definitely going to be going with Theory for most from this point on but I will say that SF definitely has figured out the custom side with there ASP line. The staff I was able to make with that line is one of my favorites still. But like you said it’s hard to beat the deals Theory runs and all that you get with them. Also did just convert my one Ultrasaber to Xenopixel with a Damien Saber core which isn’t too bad.
