Jazzmaster Wiring

I am building a jazz master with a warmth body and tele neck.  It will have two bare buckle humbuckers.  I am trying to determine how to wire the guitar. Here are the three options I am considering

1 - Original Jazzmaster (with the rollers on top)
2 - 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-way switch
3 - some type of coil tap, with original setup (don't even know if this is possible)

seeing as how this is my first time doing any sort of wiring.  I play mainly clean to medium gain.  I really need some help trying to figure out what is best.  suggestions?
 
A warmth body and bare buckles? Sounds kinky! <grin>

I'm a big fan of simple controls, so I'd use option two - 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-way switch. Splitting humbuckers rarely works out as well in reality as it does in your mind.
 
unless you order/ordered a neck pocket routed for a tele heel, the neck won't mate with the 'warmth' body.
 
Good catch. Luckily, I think they can make a Tele pocket out of Strat pocket.
 
Yes they routed the body for a tele neck.  I think I will probably go with option two.  Now that I think about it the bare knuckles in the warmoth is a little strange, but they sound SOOOO good.
