Fishman Fluence Tosin Abasi 7-string wiring diagram for Ibanez S7320?

Hey gang,

So my awesome wife got me the Tosin Abasi non-soapbar 7-string pickups to put in my THIN-bodied Ibanez S7320 and the Fishman recommended superswitch from Stew-Mac (I'm sure you see where this is going). Of course, when my guitar tech went to install everything, the damn switch won't fit. In fact, it appears that NO aftermarket switch will really fit due to the way that the black plastic cover goes over the blade portion of the switch that sticks through the top of the guitar body. That being said, if I want to have the stock 5-way switch wired up and have the tonal choices that Tosin has, do you know which wiring diagram I can follow? When I called Fishman, they said that I could use the Classic or Modern diagrams with the push pull pots to handle the coil tapping and such, but I didn't see anything that resembled a 5-way switch config that let me do that on their website pages.

Do you think that the wiring diagram shown here:

Page 5, specifically, will work for the stock switch in this Ibanez? Or is there something else I can point my tech to in order to accomplish this:

Switch Positions:
1. Bridge Humbucker (Voice-1 or 2 selectable)
2. Bridge & Neck Inner Coils (Bridge Voice-3)
3. Bridge & Neck Humbucker (Voice-1 or 2 selectable)
4. Neck Outer Coil (Voice-3)
5. Neck Humbucker (Voice-1 or 2 selectable)

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Regards,
Jeff

Just FYI should anyone care, the Tosin Abasi's will absolutely not fit within an Ibanez S7320 body unless you don't use the push-pull pots and only wire it with the stock switch... which sort of defeats the purpose of getting them. I am now having them put into my RG7621 and moving the Blackouts currently in that over to the 7320. Hope that may help someone prior to going through the pain and expense, themselves.
