3 way switch + blender pot in middle position

Hi all,
I wired a PRS Custom 22 with a master volume, push pull to coil split both pickups, master tone, push pull to out of phase and a blender pot instead of a 3 way switch. See attached diagram if anyone's interested. Works great, very versatile, can get lots of different tones, especially using the blender in combination with the OOP.
Now I want to wire another guitar with a similar wiring, but adding a 3 way switch, where the blender pot only kicks in when the 3 way is in the middle position.
Clearly can't be done with a regular switch, but I can't figure out if it can be done at all, and how. Any ideas?

You cannot

A 3 way switch is a basic mechanical Right/Both/Left device. Middle position will combine the two things hooked up to it and cannot have any function independent of what's hooked up to the two ends.

Yes I know a regular 3 way switch won't work but I'm wondering if there's another type of switch that might ?
