Question

The wire got diconnected from the in jack from my guitar and it looks like it waz welded on how you fix that!!

Answer 1

It was soldered on.  If you don't know someone with a soldering iron, try any electronic repair store.  It will take just a second, they shouldn't charge that much.

Answer 2

The wire was most likely soldered to the jack terminal.. not welded, hehehe...

And you fix it by reattaching it with new solder.  (pronounced 'sodder')

You can purchase a soldering gun at most stores these days, WalMart, Target, any hardware store, and most building supply stores.

Some come with a little bit of soldering wire with them as a 'starter kit'.

If you dont want to buy a soldering gun, you can get 'low temp' solder from electronic supply stores, like Radio Shack, and a few hardware stores.  This stuff is in little strips, looks a lot like foil, and after you wrap it around your connection, you can melt it with a match, or lighter.

Soldering guns come in a couple of styles, pistol grip, and straight.  They both work the same, its a matter of which you are more comfortable holding.  Most are electric, but you can find some solder torches, that run on butane.

Have Fun

Answer 3

Go to radio shack and ask. They should be able to set you up with a soldering tool and supplies and instructions. For a one shot deal and not a critical part it should be relatively cheap.
