The solder joints should be convex and shiny.
To identify a cold solder joint on your guitar, look for a dull or grainy appearance on the solder connection. To fix it, reheat the joint with a soldering iron until the solder flows smoothly and forms a shiny, solid connection.
It could be either. Any type of liquid core solder (acid core, rosin core, etc.) is heterogenous, since there's the metal part and the core part. A solid-core solder is probably homogeneous.
There are many places where one can purchase a solder station. One of the best places to purchase a solder station would be a hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot.

Looks like somebody is selling cheap solder here; http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/tls/3755076901.html
No, silver solder is not pure silver. It typically contains other metals like copper, zinc, or cadmium to lower its melting point and improve its strength and durability. The percentage of silver in silver solder can vary depending on the specific type of solder being used.

A good solder connection is shiny, smooth, and free from any pits, cracks, or irregularities. It should also have good adhesion to the components being joined and be strong and reliable. Additionally, the solder should have flowed evenly and completely join the parts without any excess solder.
Flux can be in many different forms. it can be in the solder, it can be in a soft form like butter, or it can be in a pen like a tide stain stick. it is used on the solder iron and on the thing you're soldering to make a good surface for the solder to stick to. Basically it makes soldering easier, it can be done with out it.
what wires are they? If they are just regular wires like for lights or something, the best method is to solder them back together with rosin core solder and cover them with heat shrink tubing what wires are they?

Soft solder is not as good a conductor of electricity as other metals like copper or silver. It has higher resistance, which means it will generate more heat and produce more energy loss when carrying an electric current. Soft solder is mainly used for joining metal parts together, not for conducting electricity.
