We are aiming to connect the 2 electrical wires hot and ground to the two lugs on the output jack.
This is on a fender stratocaster but example can be used on any electric guitar.
Both wires need to be connected to the output jack for the signal to come out of the amp.
This freed the wires up.
Switches volume and tone pots and pickups are fastened to the guitar with pickup rings nuts screws and locking washers connected to each other.
I heated up the solder on the input jack and freed those wires up.
Once it was hot enough i went into the body of the guitar and heated up the existing solder that the two wires were attached to.
