Electric Guitar Output Jack Wiring?

I have an Ibanez RG2EX1, it is an electric guitar with a solid body. Recently, the wires going to the output jack, snapped, I was able to repair them, but now my wires have no more slack. I need to know what kind of wire is used for this, I know how to install the wires and solder everything correctly, I just don’t know what the wire is called. Thank You

If there are two single colored wires, it’s called hookup wire. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2049745

If the ground is a braid around a central wire, it’s shielded cable…like guitar cable. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062643
