Music Man pickup wiring question

I am rewiring a duncan music man pickup. I want to have a series parellel option.  I do not care about a split coil option because the output is too low.

I would either like to utilize an on- on switch or an on-off-on and have the center position as a kill switch, everything off.  I am just using the single pickup. 

I am terrible with wiring design and could use some help here.

Thanks
 
FYI....I prefer the on off on scenario since I already have the switch.... :icon_thumright:
 
Flicking through the schematics on the SD website, I found this one which i think is what you want:

You can use a DPDT toggle switch with this diagram instead of the shown push-pull pot, the terminals are the same.
 
Here is what you can do:

Using a center-off switch to achieve a killswitch effect is not a good idea, because it leaves one end of a coil connected to the output, while the other end is open. This basically turns it into a giant antenna to pick up hum.
