Which version is this, the first run or the unibody run? I meant from your runs that is.Here's a rough comparison for discussion

I'm pretty sure it's not #1. The first run did not have uneven grip spacing and stuff - the shop corrected that on the first round right? mine are mostly even, and I was on #11st run

Tom, I know my own work
How where those circuit parts for the activation boards made? No new replica looks right. I have a vintage one for my ESB saber and the shine and quality of the gold is much more striking, same as the V2's board in the new pic.
slothfurnance has the most accurate clamp card for the v2.

There were 2 runs if the spinning emitter version.
1st with even rings and 2nd with uneven rings.
Then a unibody run took place.
That one was the 2nd run of the spinning emitter version.
i know because is my actual lightsaber.

So, I'm a little hesitant to do another full run because I don't know what references Brandon might release in the future and I don't want to find myself trying to hawk a bunch of new lightsabers every time a new reference picture drops. Also, when I look at these pictures, there are a lot of things I like here. I think that the pommel looks pretty spot on. I think the grips and spacing are pretty damn close. The windvain could be corrected with a little filler and some sanding.
The things I'd change are maybe the emitter and maybe the booster. And so, I'm thinking about maybe just doing that and offering a replacement emitter and a replacement booster. The emitter would be easy enough with the muti-part saber. Just pop off the old one and pop on the new one. And the booster could be replaced by hacksawing the old one off under the clamp and then fitting in a replacement part in it's place.
I'm going to do a prototype of this in the next few weeks and see how it looks and if it's worth it.
