Hold tight for the final episode of our epic ES-335 upgrade adventure series as we fight with the wiring loom yet again to install a set of boutique Monty's PAF pickups. So is our most expensive upgrade yet really worth the hassle and cash layout?... let's dive in and find out!!

The pickup outputs incidentally were:
Pro Bucker: Neck 7.69 / Bridge 7.90 (as tested in episode 1)
Monty PAF: Neck 7.2 / Bridge 7.7 (as per Monty's Specs)
