Can I do this in a Strat layout with one four or five way switch?

[Neo Fender1]

My plan is to take the two humbuckers from my Peavey T-60 and install them in a Strat. Below is the schematic. I’d like to take the two volume and two tone pots (four total in a LP type layout) and replace them with two 250K/250K concentric (stacked) volume/tone pots (e.g. neck vol/tone and bridge vol/tone).

Instead of using one switch for pickup selection and another for the phase switching, can I incorporate both functions into a four way switch (e.g. Telecaster) to get:

(1) Neck
(2) Neck/bridge in phase
(3) Neck bridge out-of-phase
(4) Bridge.

What about a regular Strat five way switch? Would this make other magical options available? (e.g. both outer coils).


Thanks.

With a superswitch, you absolutely can. I don't know if you were looking for series or parallel on the combinations there, but I'm fond of the following:

5) Neck
4) Neck - Bridge (out-of-phase)
3) Neck // Bridge (parallel)
2) Neck+Bridge (series)
1) Bridge

EDIT: To directly answer your questions, normal 4/5-way Tele/Strat switches don't have enough poles to swap phase along with everything else.
EDIT 2: I'm an idiot, with a T-40/60, of course you're thinking parallel. Out-of-phase parallel is pretty weak though.

This is the above, which I just drew up (again) a couple nights ago:
