Diagram check: 2 Humbuckers 1 volume 4PDT 12 pin 3way switch

So I got this set of SD Jupiter's to install in my Ibanez RGD3127, and the only diagram I could find that illustrates what I'm hoping to do was on Dimarzios diagram page.

The goal is bridge/split/neck. It only has a volume pot and a crazy 12 pin 3 way toggle switch.

I edited the diagram to change the colors to SDs wire colors.

Does this look right?
 
Looks like it would work, assuming the switch contacts function like the diagram (have you tested the switch itself for which contacts are live in each position?)

Not sure why you are flipping the phase on the neck, unless you are also flipping the magnet?

I don't know if just flipping the wires works for hum-cancelling or not (I haven't tried it). The coil is still wound in a particular direction and the magnet is still oriented as it was, otherwise.

Someone more knowledgeable on that topic will have to chime in.

I don't believe it would be a problem, as the idea is splitting to the inner coils means a north and south coil in series, so it should be hum cancelling. I'm not sure what you mean by phase, is the opposite (center position having the north neck coil and south bridge coil) preferable here?

I used my multimeter to test the switch and mapped it out.
