I recently did a custom paint job on my first guitar and now I'm putting everything back together. Here is an MSPAINT describing my plight:
I snipped the wire connecting the cable-port part to the rest of the wiring and I am trying to put them back together. First I tried peeling some of the insulation from both ends to twist both exposed ends together, but that didn't work. Then, as I was putting my thumb on the cable-end, I noticed that no BZZT sound came when I touched the exposed cable-port-wire-end, but only when I touched the nub of the port-end. So I snipped off the exposed wire so that it was back to just insulated nub. I thumb it, and the BZZT indicating some sort of current happens.
My question is: What is the proper way to connect these two wires?
