I’ll let Anakin Starkiller answer definitively, but I think they’ll come mostly assembled. Either way, I can put together graphical instructions for assembly/disassembly.
The will come mostly assembled and finishing is relatively intuitive. But there will be a couple different assembly videos coming in the next month or so
Well I couldn't help myself.
Parts Breakdown & Replacement Screws/O-rings:
Firstly, here is a parts breakdown that has the McMaster part numbers for all fasteners/O-rings in case anyone needs to replace them. Note that there is a pin and a set screw that may or may not be included with the production sabers, they are 100% optional, but are included in this graphic:
Replacement LEDs:
If anyone needs to replace the LEDs, I specifically designed the bezels to work with these:
5mm Flat Top Wide Angle Cool / Clear White LED - Wide Angle
These should also work, but the flat top ones above are easier to sand flush with the bezels:
5mm Round Top Cool / Clear White LED - Ultra Bright
Emitter Insert Options:
Disassembly Instructions:
NOTE: this saber features several very small fasteners, DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN (tiny screw = tiny torque). Fasteners should only need a light hand tightening.
Assuming the saber comes fully or mostly assembled, I put together disassembly instructions:
Purple Rivet Installation:
To assemble the brass knob & purple rivet:

Purple Rivet Installation:
To assemble the brass knob & purple rivet:
- Grab the purple rivet by the stem using needle nose pliers
- Thread the head of the rivet in from the back side of the brass knob, until one or two threads are still showing from the front side of the brass knob
- Thread the set screw in from the backside of the brass knob such that the stem of the purple rivet sits inside the hex wrench element of the screw. Tighten screw until rivet is snugged up against threads of brass knob. Assuming light handling only, no glue should be needed.

That is some cool engineering, but seeing these breakdown images just makes waiting that much harder. You really should restrain yourself. 
I nominate Halliwax! (Like I needed to.)
Like he had a choice
