Mustang Slider Wiring

Does anyone know off hand if it's possible to wire the Mustang slider switches for a humbucker to be Split/On/OOP?
 
Welp, Alumitone's don't split 100% the same way as a normal humbucker, so that idea is out the window
 
Yeah pretty funny ones

They can also be off-on-off or on-off-on.

The issue with Alumitones is instead of splitting them by grounding one wire, as you would with traditional humbuckers, you need to ground one wire and lift another.
 
I think I'm just going to use two way switches for coil splits. I may put the OOP setting on a push pull though just to experiment with it.

What do you guys think, should I go for the classic parallel OOP of a traditional Mustang, or series OOP so I don't have any volume loss. Even with 8-38 strings these pickups are a bit thick, but I think the coil split should be enough to change that.
 
Yeah, without independent volumes the middle position in general can be a bit of a wild card.
