Is there such a thing?

Greetings,

I've seen push pull pots that go between 500k and 250k.
I've seen push pull pots that allow for things like coil splitting and reverse phasing and what not

Are there any pots out there that do both?

I've looked.  I can't find any.
 
I suppose you could use an S1 switch to add a resistor when engaged and also do splits as you have a 4PDT to play with but other than that I have not come across what you describe.
 
You could have a pot that switches between 250 and 500, then in your switch/pickup selector do the coil splitting/ series / parralel / out of phase thing.
 
stratamania and rick2, thanks.

Another question...

Which has more tone impact....pots or caps?

The pot's resistance is always in effect where as the caps have very little effect when the tone knob is all the way up (just when the knob is rolled back). Personally I think the pot resistance switching would be more useful.
 
Personally I think a lot of guitar wiring beyond a few options is overthinking things. Beyond that you will get more results from technique, touch, pedals and amps.

Totally agree, however, I'm in this process I'm discovering a different kind of single coil sound that I like, and want to fully explore this tone.

Sure of course.
