Baja S1 Switch, or 4 way and push pull?

I played my buddy's new Baja Tele today, man what a great guitar!
As most of you know it has the 4 way switch and a S1 switch in the vol pot so you can get the std Tele sounds plus neck and bridge in series, plus neck bridge parallel and neck bridge series out of phase tones.
I really like the versatility that it offers.

Does anyone know if the S1 switch is available anywhere other than from the Reliable Fender guy who parts guitars out on eBay?

If not, it seems like you could do the same thing with a Fender 4 way switch and a push/pull or push/push pot or a mini toggle.

Does anyone have a wiring diagram using the 4 way Fender switch and another switch to get the out of phase tones?

I had a Tele wired with the Deaf Eddie 5 way and it's great too but you can't get the neck/bridge parallel out of phase combination.

Thanks!

YES, you can add a phase switch to the 4-way scheme

You can add a p/p or mini-toggle (wired to reverse the leads from the neck pup) to get the series/out of phase AND parallel/out of phase combos from the Fender 4-way. No worries! The parallel/out of phase combo is gonna be purdy dang thin, but, I guess you've heard it already.

If you need a full drawing let me know, but basically, you'll just be interupting the neck pups leads, catching them BEFORE they go to the 4-way, and wiring a DP/DT switch to "criss-cross" them, so that when you throw the switch it swaps which lead goes where:
