Those are lots of fun! I'm in the middle of redoing a 1990 Les Paul Studio I got without electronics.
I'm using a couple of Seymour Duncan Triple Shots in place of the stock mount rings (which I never had).
Bridge is a DiMarzio Super Distortion, neck is a DiMarzio Tone Zone. Plan is:
Neck volume - phase reverse
Bridge Volume - series/parallel both pickups
Neck tone - bypass tone/volume for neck pickup
Bridge tone - same as newer LP wiring, short bridge pickup to output jack

I played with some options, but it occurred to me that if I had both pickups in series, I'd have no way of making the bridge tone switch bypass the neck pickup's tone and volume controls unless I had a bypass for the neck tone and volume controls as well. I've done something similar on a couple of my Jacksons, but this is a bit more elaborate since I've not had four controls to work with.
