Wiring Issues with Schematic

I recently built myself a sort of PRS/LP hybrid guitar and have it wired up/playing...

I'm using the schematic pictured from the Seymour Duncan site(using Planet Tone pickups, but the wire color code is the same).

So far, I've found two errors in the wiring:

One - Missing jumper from Pin 3 to GND on the bridge volume
Two - The wire from the middle pole on the 3way toggle goes to the wrong lug on the tone pot, making the tone work backwards.

Ok, so now to my question. The coil split and phase push/pull switches work exactly as intended, but the series/parallel push pull on the neck volume make the bridge pickup drop out almost entirely. Is this just a limitation of the wiring/switching? If you put the toggle to the middle position, both the bridge and neck volume will still work.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks you. dataurl463844.gif

The third lugs of both volume pots are directly soldered to the backs of their pots...no need for a jumper.
Yes, the tone pot is wired backwards.

Why your bridge pup "drops out" can't be determined without actually seeing the wiring.
Personally, I have never liked 2 p/p pots to do series/parallel and humbucker/split. Too many things can go wrong when doing the actual wiring (soldering). I much prefer just one DPDT on-on-on switch to do series/split/parallel.

I'm not talking about the third lug, I'm talking about Pin3 on the push/pull switch. You can see that the ground from the bridge pickup ends at that pin, but never grounds to the pot itself.
