Yes, but you do so at your own risk. This will void the warranty. Vader’s Sabers is not responsible for any damage to your saber after delivery. This includes, but is not limited to, coding, editing your config file, modifying the hilt itself, misuse/improper alignment of the core, cross-threading, damage sustained during play, or the use of 3rd party parts and batteries.
It is advisable to record the unboxing experience and photograph any damage present upon receipt.
