Then, GFS has tuneomatics and jazz trems and uncut pickguard material. All together, that'll be like fourty bucks.

If you go with a 4 conductor Humbucker you can wire a 3 way toggle for Full/Split/Parallel.
That's how I have my neck pickup guitars wired and it makes them pretty versatile without complicating things too much.

I was considering just having a pull-push pot for splitting.

That would be cool too. The Parallel option is really only good if your pickups are super hot or you just want a really low output.

I figured that's about as complex as I want to get. Also, if anyone has some parts lying around, you know...hmu
