Might be easier to buy something more modern from any of the other makers.
Bearing in mind that low-wound PAF-type humbuckers don’t usually split or parallel very well anyway.

As already pointed out, lower/vintage output humbuckers tend not to sound good split - except, possibly, in a HSH circuit.
I'm looking to wire these up into 2 push/pull pots that will split either pickup and a 3rd pot which will reverse the phase of one of the pickups.
I think I'll pull the tape off and see oyf the are easily accessible tails for the South finish, North finish and North start. I'm assuming the South start tail will be soldered directly to the baseplate.
The reason I want to use these ones is that I really like the way they sound. I'd rather have a vintage type humbucker sound and a slightly unconvincing split sound than a hot/modern humbucker sound with a better single coil approximation.
