I think you'll want a stereo 1/4" cable to have a home made one work right. Ignore the tip and test between the ring and the ground.

Late to the discussion. Sorry.
I would say avoid the Gstyle as they seem pretty random. I bought one off Amazon and though it sounds great, the nut was wrong (too low and not grooved deep enough) and ...
