Hello. Simple question I guess for anyone who's bough a Initiate hilt:

Does it come with the on/off momentary switch (even though no electronics)? Or does it at least come with both holes (for switch and recharge port) pre-drilled? Are they covered by anything? Empty holes?

If it matters I was looking at the new one (Bastion Initiate Edition).

Unfortunately not 100% clear from the description. Thanks!!

I was planning the internal port anyway, so it wasn't a big deal for me.

My initiate reborn came with both holes - albeit they came filled with dummy switches installed so there wasn't just two holes in it which is very aesthetically pleasing.

If you check out some videos on YouTube and other topics on the forum if you ordered a Initiate tier or a ASP saber level 1 that's just the CNC parts that make up the saber. ASP comes with both holes drilled out and comes with 2 fake switches to cover the holes. That being said, its up to you to purchase the switches and electronics, blades, ect. You could also have someone else do it for you as there are many folks here that do custom work.
Check out : Jordan Moll & Shameem Moshrefzadeh on YouTube and facebook. I like the work they have done so far.
