SD wiring for PRS SE without coil split

Hello!

I've recently bought a pair of Distortion and Jazz(n) and want to install them in my PRS SE. I decided to leave only 1 volume pot and feel no need in coil splitting. The main problem now is a 3-way blade switch, which is not listed in official PRS schemes page. It has 8 contacts (I'm not sure that "contact" is a right word...) in a row and I can't figure out where to solder black wires from SD pickups and where the grounding wire.
This switch looks mostly like this one (3-Way Economy Style Lever Switch):

But IMO it's not exactly this one. I'll post photos of control cavity later this evening.
Has anyone of the SE players experienced the same problem?

On the Guitar Electronics page that you pasted, look at the thirteenth and fourteenth switch contact layout drawings. These two drawing illustrate the translation that you need to make between the SD schematic diagram and your switch.

Let me highly, highly recommend you wire in for splitting. I have a Distortion set in my PRS SE Custom 22, and the split tones leave a whole different tonal avenue. If you don't use it, fine, but you really might like the tones you hear. I know I certainly do.

Just put mine down, brother, and it just sounds great. A pull of the knob, a little rotation to bump the volume a touch, and you're good to go. And it sounds soooo niiiiiice.
