    If you don't know this already, you can connect just the pickups via a lead from the output jack or with test leads from the output jack hot & ground, to a amp input (make sure the amp volume is OFF to start with).
    You can turn the volume up gradually and tap the pole pieces of the pickups with a steel object (commonly a screwdriver). You will only hear a clicking sound, but it will tell you if the pickups are passing a signal, if the switch configuration is correct and if the volume & tone pots are working correctly.
    I'll have that done when I take it in to have the Bridge and strings setup for me initially. I don't have all the tools to properly take care of initial setup of my Floyd. I will get it installed, and then have a more experienced luthier finish it up for me. Sadly I lost a very close family friend whom was my influence, mentor and inspiration into doing this kind of thing to cancer, he would have done it for me and showed me how in person or had me do it under his watchful eye.

    I found an amp on CL for 20.00 in great condition it's a 33 watt amp, not the exact type I'd like with USB, however it will do for testing and practice.
