Parallel wiring
https://youtu.be/UKCZysmWQ6I
I am changing the wiring on all my guitars with neck buckers to this - basically like strat 2nd position, twin singles.
Works great for me, now I can probably ditch an OD pedal as I can go from pretty clean to OD by switching pickups only.
Here everything is full volume, never change anything but pickup switch, but if I also lower the neck pup volume, I can get an even more exaggerated difference, going from almost strong acoustic style sound straight to OD.

Terve Dee, long time no see. Sounds good.
Nice axe!

Hey deeaa! Good to hear from you again. I used parallel wiring on my old single humbucker Fender Showmaster Celtic (which I wish I never would have sold). It added a lot of flexibility. With that pickup--a Fender Atomic--it sounded great, much like your recording. I also tried it with the Lace Hot Gold I had at the bridge of my Squier 51. It was the bridge version so it was hot and dark: 26K resistance. With that pickup parallel wiring sounded like crap. I thought I had accidentally gotten them out of phase with each other, but I didn't. I ended up switching it back to coil splitting.
Another nice feature of doing it this way rather than coil splitting is that it remains fully humbucking.
