I left the guitar on my bench for a few minutes and when I got back it appeared my 3 year old cousin had ripped the wiring to the tone knob clean off!
So I tried to plug it in and play, but it seems that the tone knob is required for the guitar to be played through an amp.
He twisted the tone knob round many times and the actual knob itself is very loose and rattles around(it can be span 360 degrees).

Here is an image showcasing the damage: https://i.imgsafe.org/457cf23858.jpeg

Unfortunately, I cannot take the guitar to a guitar technician as the nearest one would be 3 or 4 hours away.
I do own a soldering iron, if that helps!
