Sounds like aftermarket to me. Your pickup selector switch should be 3-way (bridge/both/neck).Fuck ebay, fuck paypal

You should only have to use 4 prongs of the switch, as that type of switch has 2 sides. Depending on how the PC board is wired, 1 and 6 could be connected inernally, or it could be 1 and 8, with 4 and 5 both acting as Outputs.
Wire the bridge volume to prong 1, then jump it to prong 2. Wire the neck pickup to prong 3, then jump that to prong 2. Wire the 4th prong to the Tone knob.
However, it sounds like the way you've got it wired does work, but you will have to leave both volume knobs fully on, since they're being joined by the switch.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood

dont know if this will help...but here if how I have the switch in my WRMG wired. The red line is a piece of wire connecting the solder points. 2 and 3, 4 and 5, and 6 and 7 should all be connected.Comment

That's what his diagram shows, but his volume knobs are acting as a Master Output (at least the bridge knob).
This is not the way a dual-volume setup should be wired, even though it's common practice (thanks to Gibson).
A dual-volume setup should be wired so each knob controls each pickup and does not affect each other.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
