Yeah I think smallbear do the little style rotaries, wouldn't mind some myself.
They are seperable I seem to remember... but I don't think it'd be worth it.

Passive tone stacks are cool, but they can hurt your volume. I'd guess you'd only turn one part down at a time, though.

Yeah I know, as I said it would be cool, but it's not without its flaws, I'd have an active one... but I hate having active circuits in my guitars except in specialist occasions.
As for the rest... well you've done a diagram and i've explained a kill switch, anything else you need HT?
May I suggest a switch to completely disconnect the tone stack though? Pickups going straight to the out through the volume pot can be great.

And, how do you want to do your pickup switches? My favourite way for 3-pickup guitars is to use two 3-way switches. Once you get used to it, it's a bit faster than having 3 on/off switches.
