Can a SD Tapped Tele p/u be wired to a 4way?

Hey all.. Can a Duncan Tapped Tele bridge p/u (3 wires) be wired to a 4 way switch??? The schematic calls for a 5 way but I didn't like the way that sounded...

Here's the 5 way:

You have to tell us what you want to get before we can tell you how to get it...

What TONE are you going for?

What combinations of full/tap/neck pups do you want to hear?

I used a 4 way switch with a tapped pickup on an Esquire so I made it work like this.

1 low output coil with tone
2 low output coil no tone
3 highoutput coil with tone
4 highoutput coil no tone

worked great
