 I've long wondered this, (not enough to look, obviously).

Hi, I think you will find that the jack is wired to also switch the battery on /off as you plug in/out. I would wire mono at the guitar and stereo at you p/a box. You'll need two sockets, one mono one stereo.

if you are describing what i think you are , and its a mesh sheilded wire . you need to use the  mesh itself as the 4 th wire . ie : making your jack wire a 2 wire cord  at that end .

tip , solder coat it first . it will want to pull apart easily .

A picture would tell the story a lot better?

Hi Michael, this may be easier to understand.

In my last post I said two extra sockets, they can both be mono. Wired as pick says, braid to earth, plain wire to the tip contact.
