Can a 4-way rotary give these wiring combinations? Basically I want to be able to use the middle and neck positions alone and together while using the bridge only with the neck.

It's a 3p4t, so it should work. But they are ugly to turn and difficult to wire. You will hear the clang thru the pickups.

Unless there's a 4-way slide switch there might not be much choice.

Isn't the Tele 4-way blade able to do this? (I thought it was one of the options/reasons for using it? The other being parallel/series with bridge+neck)

There might be a different way to wire it but the standard way is bridge/bridge+neck out of phase/neck/bridge+neck series. So I'm not sure if it could be wired middle/middle+neck out of phase/neck/neck+bridge series?

You didn't mention phase options in the OP. The rotary doesn't have more lugs on it anyway, so I'm not seeing how one is more capable than the other.

The switch you posted a link to is for surface mount usage, BTW. It's not a wire/solder type.

I have some surface mount pots with terminals like that. You can still solder to the terminals even though you don't have an eyelet. Just wrap the wire around the terminal and hold it in place with a mini forceps then solder it in place. It's more difficult but not impossible.

My Tele Plus has 3 single coils, a 5 way, and a mini toggle and allows your options, plus all 3 together.

I will probably just do a 3-way switch with an individual toggle to add the bridge.
