I just got a brand new Archon, I love it! But the quality I love most is how easy it is to customize and make my own. Let's see what all you Archon owners (I know there are a lot of us) have done to make it your own.

Here's what I have so far I need get more parts.

This is my Archon V2.1saber in PO with a dark orange Apollo filter. I call the color PO... Power Overwhelming. (Any StarCraft fan should get why)

Here it is with a vented flush coupler added. (A very popular addition)

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/18/a4apa6ug.jpg)

And here it is with the original choke and new MHS parts, a female/female coupler plus new emitter, probably my favorite configuration with my limited selection of parts so far...

And the new parts plus the vented flush coupler.

The color showing in the vents is actually the true color.

Let's see what you guys have created!

Such an amazing hilt! Cool thread point to you!

Behold, "Jarchon," AS with stuff...

I forgot to add this in my original post. Its got the flush coupler connected to the stock choke with the female/female coupler. The over all length is 15.25". It feels amazing to swing around, very well balanced with a shorter blade. I just measured the blade and somehow I got a 30.5" blade, perhaps with my initiate hilt. This blade extends 23.75" from the emitter. It feels perfect.

Jammo, is that a custom made part in there? I've never seen that one before. Very cool, I love that AS blade. Looks so crisp and refreshing.

My thread is here, but if you go, remember to come back to this thread!  ;D

A couple MHS pieces from a supplier that will remain nameless.

Ah OK. I just figured it out. I have one of those parts shown above actually.

Indeed you do!

I posted mine in another thread here with construction notes

That grip is pretty fun. Where might one find that material?

It is an adhesive carbon fiber sheet. Not sure where you might find one but mine was cut from an ipad back protector. I might suggest office supply stores.

My Emerald Archon.  A few old pics of it as the "Sith Archon", I mean...THE SITH ARCHON!!!  Choke from the other guys and of course the Guardian pommel.

A few fresh pics of my Archon with an extension and emitter from the other guys, covertec replaced with a button screw and classic pommel - my fav.

That last version is so simple and elegant!  The first version looks very dark and sinister! You make some beautiful sabers!  Point

Here is a different configuration. I call it Shard. It is a custom silver emerald color running the rather crystalline Dominus Nox sound font.

Much appreciated thank you!  Love the Archon, great idea for a thread srams.  Point for you sir!

Mine so far  :)

What the deuce batman that's awesome!! Point

Scorpiarchon! in full effect  ;D

Here's my latest custom, I love the way it turned out! I drilled through the vents on the bottom of the pommel and now I am using it as an emitter! I have an older saber that I did this same thing with the pommel from my Luke MR. It feels very comfortable, and it's very well weighted. My only complaint is that the blade wiggles ever so slightly. I had to drill the retention screw way down on the choke, if it was higher up the blade might not wiggle as much. Oh well.

I think I'll keep it like this for a while. I'm developing an exiled Jedi character and in the story this is his latest saber.

Here are my two customizations. The first pic is the one I keep it in the most, but I like the second one as well. I am sending it in for an emerald upgrade so I can't wait to get it back.

My Archon has the 4ch emerald and it is THE BEST!!!  You will LOVE it.

I'm digging the Overchon look. I sometimes put an Overlord blade holder on my Archon.

I feel the same way about the Overlord emitter as I do the Manticore, it will look good on just about anything.

Here's a couple of mine including the GREAT SABER by Eerockk.

This is just my guardian pommel stuck on there to keep kids from messing around with it and blinding themselves while I did this.

And last but not least the GREAT SABER.

OMG.... nice work there, Josh! Does the blade go in the Guardian or the Graflex? Does it really matter? Points!

I made a Greatsaber once...

(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p672/jammothejedi/hw024_zpse511963e.jpg)

I should jack that blade into my Archon for giggles.

It depends, I think I need shorter blades because with blades in both ends I think that is almost nine feet:).
It's all your fault Eerockk:). I saw your videos on the great saber and I had to have the archon:). So you get points to.
Aye sounds great more points.
