Two-way Strat selector switch?

[EdwardMarlowe]

Is there such a thing as a two-way selector switch on a Strat? 

Once lockdown is done and I'm able to sell off a lot of gear, one thing I want to buy is a new Player Strat. I am, however, toying with the idea of a little switching modification. I was initially just thinking of an on/off push-pull pot, but....

I've always thought it would be cool to add three mini toggles as separate on/off switches. ~If I did do that, would there be a way to use a traditional selector-switch as a master/on /off - i.e. something that looked like the traditional pick-up selector, but worked as a two-way on/off?

I've never seen a 2 way blade switch, only 3,4 and 5 way, one option might be to get a scratchplate without the switch hole and fit an on-off toggle switch, or maybe use the 3 way and have 2 different on options and an off option, i'm not totally sure exactly how the connections work on the 3 ways but i have one in a box somewhere that i could check with a meter if you want to know how the connections work.

Thanks. If and when, I'd probably pay to have it done rather than risk myself,  but yeah, a new pickguard does look like probably the best option if I don't want an "unused hole". Either that or I suppose leave the switch in unwired. Thr push/pull post and standard switch might be the more practical option in the end - and I could always add a killswitch separately.
